  • Bearing bush/housing radial-clearance tolerance stack-up (deterministic vs. probabilistic), per DIN ISO 286.

The computation is a literal port of the original client-side JavaScript from /calculators/c1_1c.htm. Results are verified equal to the original by an automated golden-master test. No formula has been re-derived or “improved”.
