High Point of Radial Runout
RHP Super Precision bearings are marked at the
point of maximum ring thickness. The high point
of radial runout is indicated by a small circle or
burnished spot on the inner ring face (fig. 2a)
Fig. 1 and by a ‘V’ line on the outside diameter of the
outer ring (fig. 2b). The bearings can then be
mounted with these marks axially aligned with
each other and opposed to the shaft or housing

Grease Lubrication
The main advantages of grease lubrication are
that it provides an economical method of
achieving minimal lubrication and
maintenance free operation over long periods.
It also eliminates the need for an external
lubrication system, permits the use of simple
closures and provides some degree of
protection against the ingress of
contaminants. However, grease lubrication
