It is well known that excessive misalignment of roller bearings, such as those installed in conveyor idlers, leads to a reduction in the bearing life. The excessive misalignment in the conveyor idler bearing context is a result of the cumulative effect of acceptable manufacturing tolerances and assembly, together with the load that the idler must carry. However, the reduction in life and the determination of estimations in order to quantify the reduction is currently unknown, or at least withheld from general application.
