Spherical roller bearings

Bearing data general

Dimensions The boundary dimensions for spherical roller bearings are in accordance with ISO 15:1998. The dimensions of the adapter and withdrawal sleeves correspond to ISO 2982-1:1995. Tolerances SKF spherical roller bearings are manufactured as standard to Normal tolerances. SKF Explorer spherical roller bearings up to 315 mm bore diameter with a cylindrical or a tapered bore are produced to higher precision than the ISO Normal tolerances. For example the width tolerance is considerable tighter than the ISO Normal tolerance ( table 2 ), the running accuracy is to tolerance class P5 as standard. For larger bearing arrangements where running accuracy is a key operational parameter, SKF spherical roller bearings with P5 running accuracy are also available. These bearings are identified by the suffix C08. Their availability should be checked. The tolerance for the bore and the outside diameter of SKF Explorer spherical roller bearings for vibratory applications have been reduced from Normal to P6 and P5 respectively. The values of the tolerances are in accordance with ISO 492:2002 and can be found in tables 3 to 5 , starting on page 125.

Internal clearance SKF spherical roller bearings are produced as standard with Normal radial internal clearance and most are also available with a greater C3 clearance. Many bearings can also be supplied with a smaller C2 clearance or the much greater C4 or C5 clearances. SKF spherical roller bearings for vibratory applications are produced as standard with C4 clearance. The radial internal clearance limits are listed for bearings with cylindrical bore in table 3 and with tapered bore in table 4 . The clearance limits are in accordance with ISO 5753:1991 and are valid for bearings before mounting under zero measuring load.

Misalignment The design of spherical roller bearings is such that they are inherently self-aligning, i.e. angular misalignment between the outer and inner rings can be accommodated without any effect on bearing performance. Under normal loads and operating conditions (C/P > 10), and when misalignment is constant in position with respect to the outer ring, the guideline values for permissible misalignment given in table 5 apply. Whether these values can be fully exploited or not depends on the design of the bearing arrangement, the type of seals used etc. When the position of the misalignment is not constant with respect to the bearing outer ring, e.g. in vibrating screens with rotating imbalance and therefore rotating deflection of the shaft ( fig 13 ), or deflection-compensating rolls of paper machines where the stationary shaft is bent, additional sliding is caused in the bearing under the operating conditions. Therefore, with reference to bearing friction and associated heat generation, it is recommended that misalignment of the inner ring with respect to the outer ring should not exceed a few tenths of a degree. Sealed bearings can accommodate angular misalignments of the shaft with respect to the housing of up to approximately 0,5. Provided the guideline value is not exceeded, there will be no detrimental effect on the efficiency of the seals.

Spherical roller bearings

Influence of operating temperature on bearing material All SKF spherical roller bearings undergo a special heat treatment so that they can be operated at higher temperatures for longer periods, without the occurrence of inadmissible dimensional changes. For example, a temperature of +200 C for 2 500 h, or for short periods at even higher temperatures is permitted. Axial load carrying capacity Because of their special internal design, SKF spherical roller bearings are able to accommodate heavy axial loads and even purely axial loads. Axial load carrying capacity of bearings mounted on an adapter sleeve If spherical roller bearings with adapter sleeves are mounted on smooth shafts with no fixed abutment, the magnitude of the axial load that can be supported is determined by the friction between the shaft and sleeve. Provided the bearings are correctly mounted, the permissible axial load can be calculated from Fap = 0,003 B d where Fap = maximum permissible axial load, kN B = bearing width, mm d = bearing bore diameter, mm Minimum load In order to provide satisfactory operation, spherical roller bearings, like all ball and roller bearings, must always be subjected to a given minimum load, particularly if they are to operate at high speeds or are subjected to high accelerations or rapid changes in the direction of load. Under such conditions the inertia forces of the rollers and cage(s), and the friction in the lubricant, can have a detrimental influence on the rolling conditions in the bearing arrangement and may cause damaging sliding movements to occur between the rollers and raceways. The requisite minimum load to be applied to spherical roller bearings can be estimated using 704

P0m = 0,01 C0 where P0m = minimum equivalent static load, kN C0 = basic static load rating, kN ( product tables) In some applications it is not possible to reach or exceed the requisite minimum load. However, if the bearing is oil lubricated lower minimum loads are permissible. These loads can be calculated when n/nr 0,3 from P0m = 0,003 C0 and when 0,3 < n/nr 2 from P0m = 0,003 C0 1 + 2

n 0,3 nr

where P0m = minimum equivalent static bearing load, kN C0 = basic static load rating, kN ( product tables) n = rotational speed, r/min nr = reference speed, r/min ( product tables) When starting up at low temperatures or when the lubricant is highly viscous, even greater minimum loads than P0m = 0,01 C0 may be required. The weight of the components supported by the bearing, together with external forces, generally exceeds the requisite minimum load. If this is not the case, the spherical roller bearing must be subjected to an additional radial load. NoWear spherical roller bearings have proven to give reliable operation at very low loads. They can withstand longer periods of insufficient lubrication, sudden variations in load and rapid speed changes ( page 939).

Equivalent dynamic bearing load For dynamically loaded spherical roller bearings when Fa/Fr e P = Fr + Y1Fa P = 0,67 Fr + Y2Fa when Fa/Fr > e The values of the calculation factors e, Y1 and Y2 will be found in the product tables. Equivalent static bearing load For statically loaded spherical roller bearings P 0 = Fr + Y 0 F a The value of the calculation factor Y0 will be found in the product tables.
