Came looking for a typical clearance between parts. I'm looking for a bearing seal on a 750 mm dia shaft bearing. Use is in an SF novel, but a good guess would be desired. I have seen these on 500 - 600 mm shafts at 3600 RPM so 750 to 1200 isn't out of the ball park.

The 'small' clearances should be stated as constant (Possible for a wide range of fluids), a function of the oil (or other liquid and this is most likely rule) or as a fraction of the shaft size (I don't think this is likely).

Hope this 'question' improves this wiki, it is a bit thin.
