Bearing Proportions

     There should be a formula for determining roller sizes and proportions based on any given shaft diameter. This will help us design bearings at a much faster rate, and much more repeatably and accurately.

For a DSC bearing in which the concentor collar is held static or quasi-static relative to the inner race, with the spacing rollers being in the outermost position, the spacing roller is exactly 1/3rd of the diameter of the larger rollers, while the direct space between the center points of the larger rollers is exactly 2/9ths of their diameter.

It should be noted that when combined with the appropriate sleeve diameter, these given proportions, produces an absolute zero distance between the rollers, which is not taking into consideration yet the appropriate amount of bearing clearance which is dependent on a per size and application basis
