I was reading the "fits and tolerances" section of "Machinery's Handbook" today and it appears I've been interpreting what I've read incorrectly. To wit, I've been interpreting bearing tolerances as spindle and housing tolerances.
However, I'm unsure about the nomenclature. I *think* that for a small precision lathe spindle I want an LN1 fit. I *think* that is a light load fit. Looking at "Table 12. ANSI Standard Interference Location Fits ANSI B4.1-1967 (R2009)", p 637 in the 30th ed, I read the table as stating that the housing for a 25 x 52 x 15 bearing should be 0 to +0.7 thou over 52 mm and the spindle should be +0.5 to +1.0 thou over 25 mm.
Am I interpreting the table and fit class correctly?
Thanks,
Reg
