I don't want anything too tight or it might seize.

Turning a shaft and getting a clearance fit in an Oilite bush When a project demands a rotating shaft in a bearing, there are usually two choices, either a ball bearing or a bronze bush. Oilite bushes are impregnated with oil, and have a large advantage over a ball. Bushing Clearance. Typically bearing internal clearance is defined as the total distance through which one ring can be moved radially (radial internal clearance) or axially (axial internal clearance) in relation to the other ring under a defined measuring load.

In the case of bushings, this is not so. Since bushings are of single piece construction, any clearance found would be from the radial movement of the shaft that rides within the treecut.barg: oilite.

Mar 31, bearing ID. Another bearing I bought last year, was the needle bearing. type and had a difference of, that seemed very loose. Anyone have. an idea of what would be a good clearance for the Oilite type bearing? The clearance seems ok on one trans, but a little snug on the second. trans. thanks, Bob.
