Sam Pickens here;
Thanks for the rapid response regarding the water heater. This goes to show
what a great group this is. May the fleas of a thousand camels rest in your
worst enemy's naval. I'll call Jim DeMaere for the heater. Again, thanks.
Regarding the Timken brg fo 2.0015 to 2.002 inches. If the shaft is 0.002"
greater than the inner raceway (inner ring), then it's an interference fit
by 0.002". The shaft is bigger than the bearing race. You can give me
bearings numbers and I can be more specific. Normally, on a wheel bearing
the outter ring rotates while the inner ring is stationary. With this
configuration the outter ring normally has an interference fit and the inner
ring would have a fit of zero or maybe loose by 0.001" no more. Of course
these are numbers I'm giving you off the top of my head. I'd rather give
exact facts but I'm comfortable with those numbers. I hope I cleared rather
than muddyed the water.
Regards,
Sam Pickens
