Gents,

can I push a floating bearing against a shoulder (or a circlip) on a shaft and secure the bearing with a circlip or do I need some sort of lock nut to make sure it stays put all the time? with a circlip I guess I'd have around 0.1-0.2mm of 'slack', but I reckon that shouldn't matter as the shaft is already located by the locating bearing (angular contact double row) right? I'm going for an interference fit on the inner ring and H6 / loose fit on the housing to allow for movement.

Appreciate any info, cheers.

Regards,
