Easy Axial displacement of Inner
5 Whell on non-rotating axles g6 (f6) --------
ring on Shaft desirable
Easy Axial displacement of Inner Tension pulleys, rope
6 h6 --------
ring on Shaft NOT desirable sheaves

Upto 250- j6 (not for CRB) Upto 250- j6

7 Only axial Load All applications
After 250- js6 (not for CRB) After 250- js6

Important Notes-
1. For ball bearing Dia. > 200 greater clearnace reqd. than normal
2. For Roller bearing Dia 60 to 150 greater clearance may be necessary, for Dia. >150 Higher is reccomended
3. Tolerance in bracket in S.N. 4 is for TRB
4. Above chart not for Needle Roller bearing & Y bearing
