Radial Clearance in Terms of Minimum Film Thickness Variable of Bearing Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Radial clearance for bearing = Minimum Film Thickness/Minimum Film Thickness Variable
c = h_°/h_min
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Radial clearance for bearing - (Measured in Meter) - Radial clearance for bearing is a measured value of the total movement of one ring relative to the other in a plane perpendicular to the bearing axis.
Minimum Film Thickness - (Measured in Meter) - Minimum film thickness is the lowest amount of the thickness of the oil film formed inside the sliding bearing.
Minimum Film Thickness Variable - Minimum Film Thickness Variable is defined as the ratio of minimum film thickness to radial clearance.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Minimum Film Thickness: 0.013 Millimeter --> 1.3E-05 Meter (Check conversion here)
Minimum Film Thickness Variable: 0.5 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

c = h_°/h_min --> 1.3E-05/0.5

Evaluating ... ...

c = 2.6E-05

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

2.6E-05 Meter -->0.026 Millimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

0.026 Millimeter <-- Radial clearance for bearing

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)
