How to Measure and Set the Clearance of a Spherical Bearing

Knowing how to measure and set the clearance on a spherical bearing can help lower the risk of the bearing failing prematurely. This 6-minute, 13-second video demonstrates how to measure the radial internal clearance on spherical roller bearings prior to mounting, as well as how to set the radial internal clearance when mounting tapered-bore spherical bearings on a tapered adapter sleeve or shaft.
