It depends on the type of bearing, and which measurement.
A double race roller bearing is measured on the inside (shaft diameter) with an internal vernier caliper or similar device. On the outside (casing or pillow block diameter) with an external vernier. And the width (or length) of each race can be measured with and external vernier.
A babbitt bearing can be measured by measuring the journal on which it is to be mounted, then taking "leads" (or using plastigages), by placing lead fuse wire or a plastigage on the journal, placing the bearing top half over the leads, and bolting down the bearing housing over that. Then unbolt the bearing housing remove the top half the bearing and with a micrometer measure the crushed thickness of the fuse wire. Add this to the journal diameter to get the internal diameter of the bearing. The main reason for taking leads is to determine the oil wedge gap in the bearing to see if it is the right thickness. If it is too thin the bearing needs to be scraped if it is too thick the bearing needs to be replaced or the journal built back up to the correct diameter.

What are purpose of bearing?
on a compass a bearing is a measure of north south east and west
A relative bearing is always measure from?
North to East. So Southeast would be Bearing 135.
A auger bearing for a 1977 sears 5 HP snowblower?
pull or press the bearing out and take to a local bearing/machine shop to measure
What is bearing amplitude?
Bearing amplitude refers to the maximum distance a bearing moves from its central position during its rotation. It is a measure of the amount of movement or deviation that occurs in a bearing as it rotates. Bearing amplitude is important to monitor to ensure that the bearing is functioning correctly and to detect any potential issues or abnormalities.
Where would you measure the release bearing and spring diaphragm on a system?
You would measure the release bearing clearance at various points to ensure proper engagement. The spring diaphragm would be measured at the fingers to gauge its condition and effectiveness in disengaging the clutch.
What should be used to measure the diameter of a steel ball bearing as accurately as possible?
A vernier caliper should be used to measure the diameter of a steel ball.
How is a bearing clearance measured in a main journal?
bearing clearence is measured using the venier callipers.you join the 2 shells to form a circle then measure the inward diameter using your venier and likewise measure your crankshaft main journal oval diameter then subtract the main journal diamterfrom shell diameter/.OR you simply put the crankshaft into its position and put the other bearing cap and measure using a filler gauge (make sure both caps have their shell bearings),..
How do you measure a carrier bearing or how can you get the right one for your truck?
Your local auto parts store should be able to help you with that.
Was there high tide when the titanic sank?
Titanic sunk 400 miles from shore so there is no bearing to measure tides by.
What method do I do used to determine the volume of a steel ball bearing?
You can determine the volume of a steel ball bearing by using the formula for the volume of a sphere, V = (4/3) * π * r^3, where r is the radius of the ball bearing. Measure the diameter of the ball bearing and divide it by 2 to calculate the radius, then plug it into the formula to find the volume.
How can you find a tiny ball bearing's volume if you have ten of the same type a measuring cylinder and some water?
Is this experiment assuming you have to use all of the bearings or can you use them individually? If you use them individually, fill up the water to a predetermined level and take note of the volume. Then, drop in a single bearing and measure the new volume of the cylinder. Subtract the second measure from the first measure, and that is the measurement of a single ball bearing. If you have to use all 10 at once, do the same thing but divide the final sum by 10.
How do you measure the load bearing capacity of a bridge?
Dear Sir If you can put a sensor into the bearing before installed to pier then you can read the bearing load while car run on the beam. Please give your mail address,i will send you some photos. My mail address is : enzo_lu@yahoo.com regards enzo
