Note: Axial displacement values apply to solid-steel shafts or hollow shafts with bore diameter less than half the shaft diameter. Continued on next page.
For shaft materials other than steel, or for thin-walled shafts, please consult your Timken engineer
(1)This displacement is valid for assembly of tapered bore bearings and is measured starting from a line-to-line fit of the bearing
bore to the tapered shaft.
(2)1:12 Taper used for 222, 223, 230, 231, 232, 233, 239 series. 1:30 Taper used for 240, 241, 242 series. For sleeve mounting, multiply
axial displacement values by 1.1 for 1:12 Taper or by 1.05 for 1:30 Taper. For questions on tapered shaft data, consult your
Timken engineer.
