The fitting surfaces of the shaft and housing should also be finished to acquire the required accuracy and roughness. If the conditions require minimum vibration and noise, or if the bearing is used under severe operating conditions, a ground finish is required.<\/li><li>Bearing mounting dimensions are determined based on the recommended dimensions for the bearing number of the selected bearing.<\/li><li>There are two types of sealing devices: non-contact and contact.
