The document discusses recommended radial clearances for cast bronze bearings. It provides five categories (A-E) for different machine applications and their corresponding surface finish and velocity requirements. Category A is for precision spindles running at less than 3 m/s. Category B is for precision spindles running at more than 3 m/s. Category C is for electric motors, pumps, and generators using ground cast bronze bearings. Category D is for general, continuously rotating or reciprocating machinery. Category E is for rough service machinery.

4.1.3 BEARING MATERIALS- RECOMMENDED RADIAL CLEARANCES FOR
CAST- BRONZE Recommended radial clearances for cast bronze bearings are shown in Fig.4.3. A Precision spindles made of hardened ground steel, running on lapped cast bronze bearings (0.2 to 0.8 m rms finish) with a surface velocity less than 3 m/s. B - Precision spindles made of hardened ground steel, running on lapped cast bronze bearings (0.2 to 0.4 m rms finish) with a surface velocity more than 3 m/s. C- Electric motors,centriugal pumps, generators, and similar types of machinery using ground journals in broached or reamed cast-bronze bearings (0.4 to 0.8 m rms finish) D General machinery which continuously rotates or reciprocates and uses turned or cold rolled steel journals in bored and reamed cast-bronze bearings (0.8 to 1.6 m rms finish) E- Rough service machinery having turned or cold rolled steel journals in bored and reamed cast-bronze bearings (0.8 to 1.6 m rms finish)
