Mounting and
Dismounting of Bearings
Nearly all rolling bearing applications

require the use of an interference
fit on at least one of the bearing rings,
usually the inner. Consequently, all
mounting methods are based on
obtaining the necessary interferences
without undue effort, and with no risk
of damage to the bearing.
Fitting Practice
A ball or roller bearing has extremely
accurate component parts which fit
together with very close clearances.
The inner ring bore and the outer ring
outside diameter are manufactured
within close limits to fit their respective
supporting members the shaft and
housing. It follows that the shaft and
the housing must also be machined to
similar close limits. Only then will the
required fits be obtained when the
bearing is mounted. Shaft and housing
fit tables are shown in a separate
chapter beginning on page 32.
Internal Bearing Clearance
It is evident that a press (or interference) fit between the parts will stretch
the inner ring. This holds true when
mounting the bearing directly on the
shaft or by means of an adapter
sleeve. Thus, there will be a tendency
to reduce the initial internal radial
clearance in the bearing.
However, bearings are designed in
such a way that if the recommended
shaft fits are used and operating
temperatures have been taken into
account, the internal clearance remaining after mounting the bearing will be
sufficient for proper operation.

Mounting Methods
2. Temperature Mounting
Three basic mounting methods are

used, the choice depending on factors
such as the number of mountings,
bearing type and size, magnitude of
the interferences and, possibly, the
available tools. SKF supplies tools for
all mounting methods described here.
For more details, see the SKF Bearing
Maintenance Tools Catalog (711-639).
Temperature mounting is the technique

of obtaining an interference fit by first
introducing a temperature differential
between the parts to be fitted, thus
facilitating their assembly. The necessary temperature differential can be
obtained in one of three ways:
1. Cold Mounting
Mounting of a bearing without heating
it first is the most basic and direct
mounting method. A pressure force
of sufficient magnitude is applied
against the face of the ring having the
interference fit. This method is most
suitable for cylindrical bore bearings
up to about 70 mm bore and for
tapered bore bearings up to about
240 mm bore.
Sometimes the interference specified for a cylindrical bore bearing of
less than 70 mm bore is great enough
to warrant the use of one of the other
methods to be described. Three other
situations may make it impractical or
inadvisable to cold mount a bearing:
When the bearing face against

which the pressing force is to be
applied, either directly or through an
adjacent part, is inaccessible.
When the distance through which
the bearing must be displaced in
order to seat is too great.
When the shaft or housing seating
material is so soft that there is risk
of permanently deforming it during
the mounting process.
Heating one part (most common)
Cooling one part
Simultaneously heating one part and

cooling the other
Heating the Bearing

Heat mounting is suitable for all medium and large size straight bore bearings, and for small bearings with cylindrical seating arrangements. Normally
a bearing temperature of 150F above
shaft temperature (not to exceed 250F)
provides sufficient expansion for mounting. As the bearing cools, it contracts
and tightly grips the shaft. Its important
to heat the bearing uniformly, and to
regulate heat accurately, since excess
heat destroys a bearings metallurgical
properties, softening the bearing.
Never heat a bearing using an open
flame, such as a blowtorch.
Heat mounting reduces the risk
of bearing or shaft damage during
installation, because the bearing can
be slid easily onto the shaft.
Appropriate electric-heat bearing
mounting devices include induction
heaters, ovens, hot plates and heating
cones. Of these, induction heaters and
ovens are the most convenient, and
heaters the fastest, devices to use.
Hot oil baths have traditionally been

used to heat bearings, but are no longer
recommended except when unavoidable. In addition to health and safety
considerations are the environmental
issues about oil disposal, which can
become costly.
If hot oil bath is used, both the oil
and the container must be absolutely
clean. Oil previously used for some
other purpose should be thoroughly
filtered. Quenching oil having a minimum
flash point of 300F, transformer oil, or
10% to 15% water soluble oil, are
satisfactory heating mediums. When
using an oil bath, temperature monitoring is important not only to prevent
bearing damage, but also to prevent
the oil from reaching flash point.
The quantity of oil used in a bath
should be plentiful in relation to the
volume of the bearing. An insufficient
quantity heats and cools too rapidly,
thus introducing the risk of inadequately or unevenly heating the bearing.
It is also difficult in such a case to
determine when and if the bearing has
reached the same temperature as the
oil. To avoid hot spots on the bearing, it
is good practice to install a rack at the
bottom of the bath. Sufficient time
should be allowed for the entire bearing to reach the correct temperature.
The bath should cover the bearing.
Heating the Housing
The bearing housing may require
heating in cases where the bearing
outer ring is mounted with an interference fit in the housing. Since the outer
ring is usually mounted with a lighter
interference fit, the temperature difference required is usually less than that
required for an inner ring.
A bearing housing may be heated in
several ways. If the size of the housing
bore permits, an inspection lamp can
be inserted, the heat from the lamp
usually being sufficient to produce the
desired expansion. In some cases the
shape and size of the housing allow
the use of an electric furnace, but in
other cases a hot oil bath is necessary.
3. Oil-Injection (Hydraulic) Mounting
This is a refined method for cold
mounting a tapered bore bearing. It is
based on the injection of oil between

the interfering surfaces, thus greatly
reducing the required axial mounting
force. The pressure is generally supplied with a manually-operated reciprocating pump. The required pressure
seldom exceeds 10,000 psi, and is
usually much less.
The oil used for oil-injection mounting
should be neither too thin nor too
viscous. It is difficult to build up pressures with excessively thin oils, while
thick oils do not readily drain from
between the fitting surfaces and require
a little more axial force for positioning
the bearing. This method cannot be
used unless provided for in the design
of the mounting. (Contact SKF for
retrofitting details.)
Fig 1
1. Shaft Fillet Too Large
Mounting on the Shaft

Cylindrical Bore Bearings
When mounted directly on the shaft,
the inner ring should be located
against a shaft shoulder of proper
height ( fig 1 ). This shoulder must
be machined square with the bearing
seat and a shaft fillet should be used.
The radius of the fillet must clear
the corner radius of the inner ring.
Specific values for recommended
shoulder heights and fillet radii for
each size bearing are given in the
dimensional tables of all SKF
products catalogs.
If the inner ring is loose on the shaft,
creeping will occur. This will result in
overheating, excessive wear and
contact erosion between the shaft
and inner ring. Creep is described
as the relative circumferential movement between the bearing bore and
shaft surfaces.
Therefore a preventive measure
must be taken to eliminate creeping
and its harmful results. Mount the inner
ring with a sufficient press fit on the
shaft. This will help ensure that both
inner ring and shaft act as a unit and
rotate at the same speed. It is also
desirable to use a locknut to clamp the
inner ring against the shaft shoulder.
If the applied load is of a rotating
nature (for example, vibrating screens
where unbalanced weights are
attached to the shaft), then the outer
ring becomes the critical member. In
2. Correct Shaft Fillet
3. Shaft Shoulder Too Small
4. Shaft Shoulder Too Large
5. Correct Shaft Shoulder Diameter
order to eliminate creeping in this

case, the outer ring must be mounted
with a press fit in the housing. The
rotating inner ring, when subjected to
a rotating load, can be mounted with
a slip fit on the shaft.
When the ring rotates in relation
to the load, a tight fit is required.
This amount may be determined

either by measuring the reduction of
internal radial clearance or the axial
drive-up.
Drive-up is achieved with a force
of sufficient magnitude applied directly
to the face of the ring with the interference fit. This force is generated with
one of the following devices:
When using the internal radial clearance reduction method on tapered bore
spherical roller bearings, establish an
initial reference point by measuring the
unmounted internal clearance using the
instructions shown with chart A.
The absolute values for reduction in
clearance are shown in chart B.
Tapered Bore Bearings

The mounting of any tapered bore
bearing is affected by driving the
bearing on its seat a suitable amount.
How to measure unmounted

radial internal clearance of SKF
tapered bore spherical roller
bearings (in inches)
Oscillate the inner ring in a
circumferential direction to properly
seat the rollers. Measure the radial
internal clearance in the bearing
by inserting progressively larger
feeler blades the full length of the
roller between the most unloaded
roller and the outer ring sphere.
CAUTION: Do not roll over the
feeler blade, slide it through the
clearance. Record the measurement on the largest size blade
that will slide through. This is
the unmounted radial internal
clearance.
Repeat this procedure in two or
three other locations by resting the
bearing on a different spot on its
O.D. and measuring over different
rollers in one row. Repeat the
above procedure for the other row
of rollers or measure each row
alternately in the procedure
described above (See chart A).

Step 1 adapter sleeve

Remove oil from the shaft to prevent
transfer of oil to the bore of the adapter
sleeve. Position adapter sleeve on shaft,
thread outboard as indicated, to approximate location with respect to required
bearing centerline. Light oil applied to the
sleeve outside diameter surface results in
easier bearing mounting and removal.
(see fig 4 )
Step 2 bearing
Spherical roller radial bearings
Measure the unmounted internal radial
clearance in the bearing by inserting progressively larger feeler blades the full
length of the roller between the most vertical unloaded roller and the outer ring
sphere. DO NOT roll the feeler blade
through the clearance; slide it through.
Record the measurement of the largest
size blade that will slide through. This is
the unmounted radial internal clearance.
Wipe bearing bore and mount on adapter
sleeve, starting with the large bore of the
inner ring to match the taper of the
adapter. With the bearing hand tight on
the adapter sleeve, locate the bearing to
the proper axial position on the shaft.
(DO NOT apply lockwasher at this time
because drive-up procedure may damage
lockwasher). Apply the locknut with the

1. Screw off the nut and remove the locking washer.
2. Wipe the preservative from the surfaces of the sleeve and then oil
the bore surface lightly. Use a thin mineral oil.
3. Open up the sleeve by inserting a screwdriver in the slit; then slide

the sleeve along the shaft to the correct position.
4. Wipe the preservative from the bore of the bearing and then oil the
surface lightly. Use a thin mineral oil.
5. Place the bearing on the sleeve. Screw on the nut with its chamfer
facing the bearing, but do not mount the locking washer. Do not
push the inner ring up on the taper.

chamfered face toward the bearing. Use a

lubricant on the face of the locknut where
it contacts the inner ring face of the bearing to make easier mounting for large
sizes. LARGE SIZE BEARINGS WILL
REQUIRE A HEAVY DUTY IMPACT
SPANNER WRENCH AND SLEDGE
HAMMER TO OBTAIN THE REQUIRED
REDUCTION IN RADIAL INTERNAL
CLEARANCE. AN SKF HYDRAULIC
NUT MAKES MOUNTING OF LARGE
SIZE BEARINGS EASIER. Do not
attempt to tighten the locknut with hammer and drift. The locknut will be damaged and chips can enter the bearing.
Self-aligning ball bearings*
Wipe bearing bore and mount on
adapter sleeve, starting with the large
bore of the inner ring to match the
taper of the adapter. With the bearing
hand tight on the adapter, locate bearing to the proper axial position on the
shaft. (DO NOT apply lockwasher at
this time because drive-up procedure
may damage lockwasher).
Apply the locknut with chamfered face
toward the bearing after lubricating the
face of the locknut next to the bearing.
Hand tighten the nut with a spanner
wrench until the adapter sleeve can
neither be moved axially, nor rotated on
the shaft. Then with a hammer, drive the
spanner wrench until the locknut has been
tightened on the adapter sleeve according
to the turning angle shown in tables 1a ,
1b , and 1c on pages 14 and 15.
CAUTION: A loose adapter sleeve can
lead to the inner ring turning on the
adapter sleeve and/or the adapter sleeve
turning on the shaft. To insure that the
nut is not excessively tight, make certain
the outer ring of the bearing rotates
freely. When mounting a normal fit bearing, swiveling the outer ring will result in
a slight drag. If the bearing is a C3 fit, the
outer ring will swivel freely.
Step 3 locknut & washer
Remove locknut and mount lockwasher
on adapter sleeve with inner prong of
lockwasher toward the face of the bearing and located in the slot of the adapter
sleeve. Reapply locknut until tight.
(DO NOT drive bearing further up the
taper, as this will reduce the radial internal clearance previously secured.
Check to make certain radial internal
clearance has not changed). Find the

lockwasher tang that is nearest a locknut slot. If the slot is slightly past the
tang, dont loosen the nut, but instead
tighten it to meet a washer tang.

Mounting in the Housing
Bearings Requiring
Axial Adjustment
Axial adjustment is necessary when
the bearing type dictates it, or when
axial movement and location of the
shaft must be closely controlled. The
types of bearings most frequently
requiring this technique are tapered
roller bearings, angular contact ball
bearings, and thrust bearings.
Tapered roller bearings and angular
contact ball bearings are available in
arrangements which, when mounted in
duplex (side-by-side) with or without
spacers, automatically provide the
correct adjustment when the bearings
are locked together. As a general rule,
however, whenever the bearings are
separated by a portion or portions of the
housing or shaft, adjustment must be
made at assembly either by shimming
or by controlling the securing of the
bearings. For more details, consult SKF.
6. Turn the nut sufficiently to ensure that the shaft makes proper contact (self-locking)
with the sleeve, but do not drive the bearing any further up the sleeve. Then turn
the nut according to the turning angle in tables 1a, 1b, and 1c.

There is usually no difficulty encountered

when mounting the bearing in the housing. In the case of a split housing, the
shaft, with the bearing correctly mounted
on it, is simply lowered into the housing,
and the other half of the housing is lowered and secured. In the case of straightthrough solid housings, the bearing rings
generally have a loose fit with the housing, making it possible to push the shaft
and bearing assembly into position.
Bearings having a loose fit on the
shaft generally have a tight fit in the
housing. In this case the bearing is first
mounted in the housing either by hammering on a mounting sleeve or by
pressing, and the shaft is then inserted
into the bearing. If a tight fit is to be
used both on the shaft and in the housing, both bearing rings may have to be
mounted simultaneously, in which case
the force must be applied to both rings
so that none of it is carried by the
rolling elements. Alternatively, the
housing may be heated.
NOTE: Then, reposition the spanner 180 and tighten the nut a few degrees
more by tapping the spanner handle lightly with a hammer.
7. Unscrew the nut, place the locking washer and spacer in position, and tighten the nut firmly again. Make sure that the bearing is not driven any further
up the sleeve.
8. Lock the nut by bending one of the locking washer tabs down into one of
the slots in the nut. Do not bend it to the bottom of the slot.
9. Check that the shaft or outer ring can be rotated easily by hand.

SKF Hydraulic drive-up method
Step by step procedure
A new method of accurately achieving

the adjustment of spherical roller bearings, mounted on solid tapered seatings, is now available. This method is
also used for CARBTM toroidal roller
bearings (see p. 21). The correct fit is
achieved by controlling the axial driveup of the bearing from a predetermined position. The method incorporates the use of a hydraulic nut fitted
with a dial indicator, and a specially
calibrated pressure gauge, mounted
on the selected pump.
A special hydraulic pressure table
providing the required MPa/psi pressures must be used for each bearing
type. (see table 2 for spherical
roller bearings; table 5 for CARB
bearings) This enables accurate positioning of the bearing at the starting
point, where the axial drive-up is measured. This method provides:
1. Ensure that the bearing size is

equal to the hydraulic nut.
(Otherwise the pressure in
the table must be adjusted.)
2. Determine whether one or two
surfaces slide during mounting;
see figures 6 - 9 .
3. Lightly oil all mating surfaces with a
thin oil and carefully place the
bearing on the shaft.
4. Drive the bearing up to the starting
position by applying the hydraulic
pressure found in the table.
Monitor the pressure by the gauge
on the selected pump.
As an alternative, SKF mounting
gauge 1077587/2 can be screwed
directly into the hydraulic nut.
5. Drive the bearing up the taper the
required distance Ss.The axial
drive-up is best monitored by a
dial indicator.
1. Reduced time to mount bearings.

2. A reliable, safe and accurate method
of clearance adjustment.
3. Ideal way to mount sealed spherical
roller bearings.
For abnormal operating conditions,

hollow shaft, very accurate requirements on residual clearance, etc., the
drive-up must be adjusted. In such
cases please contact SKF.

Mounting CARB toroidal

roller bearings
The CARB toroidal roller bearing is a
standard bearing having high radial
load carrying capacity and a unique
combination of characteristics including
the low sectional height of needle
roller bearings,
the properties of cylindrical roller bearings in accommodating axial displacement within the bearing, and
the ability of spherical roller bearings
to accept misalignment
CARB is available with a cage or in
a full complement design without cage,
with a choice of cylindrical or tapered
bore. Brief recommendations for
mounting and dismounting and guidelines for grease lubrication are given in
the following. The same rules are valid
for CARB toroidal roller bearings as for
other standard bearings.
Axial location
CARB can accommodate axial displacement within the bearing. This
means that the inner ring as well as
the roller assembly can be axially displaced in relation to the outer ring. The
CARB can be secured with lock nuts
KMF .. E or KML. If a standard KM lock
nut and an MB locking washer are
used instead, a spacer may be needed
between the bearing inner ring and the
washer to prevent washer contact with
1)
the cage, if axial displacement or misalignment are extreme, see fig 10 .

The spacer dimensions shown in
Figure 11 will help ensure safe operation with axial offset 10% of bearing
width, and 0.5 misalignment.
Note that both the inner and outer
ring must be locked in the axial direction as shown in Figures 10 and 11 .
ple is shown in Figure 12 as applied to

CARB C 2220.
For example, if the axial displacement is 2.5 mm, the radial clearance is
reduced from 100 to 90 m and the
radial position of the bearing changes
from 50 to 45 m, see fig 12 . For
more information please contact SKF.
Precautions before mounting
Spacer dimensions
Use the same standard mounting precautions for CARB bearings as for any
other bearings.
For mounting with standard KM lock

nut and MB locking washer, as shown
in Figure 11 , spacers with the following dimensions are needed:
d < 35 mm1)
35 mm < d < 120 mm
d > 120 mm
B1 = 2 mm
B1 = 3 mm
B1 = 4 mm
Measure d and d2 as shown in the

SKF General Catalog.
Axial mounting position
Initial axial displacement of one ring in
relation to the other can be used to
increase the available axial clearance
for shaft movement in one direction,
see fig 11 .
It is also possible to accurately adjust
the radial clearance or the radial position
of the bearing by displacing one of the
rings.
Axial and radial clearance are interdependent, i.e. an axial displacement
of one ring from the center position
reduces the radial clearance. The princi-

Mounting of CARB toroidal roller

bearings with cylindrical bore
The same basic rules for mounting all
other bearings with cylindrical bores
apply to the CARB bearing. See
page 9.
Mounting of CARB toroidal roller
bearings with tapered bore
CARB toroidal roller bearings, as well
as other bearings with a tapered bore,
are always mounted with an interference fit on the shaft. As a measure of
the degree of interference of the fit,
either the reduction in radial internal
clearance or the axial displacement
of the inner ring on the tapered seat
can be used.
Below, three methods for mounting
bearings on a tapered seating are
described:
1. Axial drive-up on adapter sleeve,
angle method
Using the turning angle of the sleeve
nut to determine the drive-up needed
to achieve correct interference is successfully used on self-aligning ball
bearings, and is also suitable for CARB
for shaft diameters up to approximately
100 mm. It is important to establish a
standard procedure for determining the
starting point, zero turning angle.
Table 1c shows turning angles and
corresponding axial drive-up distances
for CARB toroidal roller bearings of
series C22 and C23. The sequence
described on pages 12 and13 should
be followed. The starting point for mea-
suring the turning angle is reached

when the nut is tightened sufficiently to
make the sleeve just lock on the journal, but not more.
It is advisable to mark the starting
point on the nut and on the journal
before tightening the nut according to
Table 1c .
2. Clearance reduction method
For larger bearings the measurement
of clearance reduction is often used to
establish the required interference fit.
Before mounting, the internal radial
clearance of the bearing should be
measured with a feeler gauge.
Place the bearing on a clean work
surface and rotate the inner ring a few
times. Align the rings so they are
parallel and center the roller assembly,
see figs 14 and 15 . Use a blade
slightly thinner than the minimum value
of the clearance before mounting.
Insert it over the uppermost unloaded
roller so that it passes the middle
of the roller. Move the blade to and
fro a few times. Measure with an
increasingly thicker blade until, when
attempting to pull out the blade, there
is a slight resistance. Push the bearing
up on to the shaft and check the
reduction in internal clearance during
drive-up under the lowest roller with
the rings parallel and the roller set
centered, see fig 16 .
The minimum values for internal clearance given in Table 4 , apply mainly to
bearings in which clearance is close to
the lower limit. This will give the minimum
permissible clearance.
Fig 13
3. SKF hydraulic drive-up method

When measurement of the axial
drive-up is used to achieve the
required interference fit it can be difficult, for larger bearings, to establish
where the drive-up starts. An accurate
method for axial drive-up measurements is described below where the
correct fit is achieved by controlling
the axial drive-up of the bearing from
a predetermined position.
The method may incorporate the use
of an SKF hydraulic nut, HMV(C) .. E
fitted with a dial indicator, and a specially calibrated pressure gauge,
mounted on a selected pump. The
equipment
is shown in figure 17 .
The required pressure for each
CARB bearing is given in Table 5 ,
page 26. This enables accurate positioning of the bearing at the starting
point, from where the axial drive-up
(Ss) is measured.
Mounting of CARB toroidal
roller bearings with tapered
bore on sleeve
Adapter and withdrawal sleeves are
often used and the bearings are in
principle mounted in the same way as
for a tapered shaft. Detailed information is found in the SKF Bearing
Maintenance Handbook.
Dismounting methods
Dismounting of bearings may become
necessary when a machine functions
improperly or is being overhauled.
Many precautions and operations are
common to the mounting of bearings.
The methods and tools depend on
many factors such as bearing design,
accessibility, type of fit, etc.
There are three dismounting
methods: mechanical, hydraulic and
oil injection.
When dismounting bearings, never
apply the force through the rolling
elements.
Figure 13. Mounting CARB with SKF TMFT fitting tool
22
Interference fit on the shaft

Bearings, with bore diameters up to
120 mm, mounted with an interference
fit on the shaft, can be dismounted
using a conventional puller (The CARB
toroidal bearing requires a special
puller; see fig. 18 ). The puller
should engage the inner ring, and the
bearing is then removed with a steady
force until the bearing bore completely
clears the entire length of the cylindrical seating, see fig. 19 .
Larger bearings with an interference
fit on the shaft often require considerable dismounting force. In these cases
a hydraulic tool is more suitable than a
mechanical one.
Fig 14
Figure 14. Measurement of radial clearance
Fig 15
Interference fit in the housing

A bearing mounted in a housing without shoulders can be removed by hammer blows directed on a sleeve that
abuts the outer ring. Larger bearings
require greater force to dismount and
the use of a press is recommended.
Interference fit both in the housing and
on the shaft
For bearings with an interference fit on
both rings, the best method is to allow
the bearing to be pressed out of the
housing with the shaft. If this is not
suitable the opposite procedure
allowing the bearing to come off the
shaft with the housing can be used.

The residual clearance must be checked in cases
where the initial radial internal clearance is in the
lower half of the tolerance range and where large
temperature differentials between the bearing
rings can arise in operation. The residual clearance must not be less than the minimum values
quoted above. When doing so, make sure that the
rings and roller assembly are aligned
and centered

Dismounting from a tapered journal

Smaller bearings can be dismounted
using a conventional puller which
engages the inner ring. Center the
puller accurately to avoid damage to
the bearing seating.
Larger bearings may require considerable force to dismount, so a
hydraulic withdrawal tool may be more
suitable than a mechanical one.
The SKF puller for CARB allows
easy dismounting from housings with
loose fit after dismounting of the inner
ring. The puller arms are inserted
between the bearing cage and outer
ring and engage on the outer ring, see
fig. 18 .
The best way to facilitate dismounting of inner rings is to utilize the SKF
oil injection method. Detailed information is found in the SKF Bearing

Guidelines for Bearing Assembly, Maintenance and Inspection

For Better Bearing Performance
Dont work under the handicap of poor tools, dirt, a

rough bench, or cluttered area.
Clean tools and surroundings will help maximize

bearing performance.
Proper care begins in the stock room. Store bearings in original unopened
packages, in a dry place. The bearing number is plainly shown on the box or
wrapping. Before packaging, the manufacturer protected the bearing with a rust
preventive slush compound. An unopened package means continued protection.
Do not open carton until ready to use.
Open package only when ready to install bearing. Handle bearing with clean,
dry hands and with clean rags. Lay bearing on clean paper and keep covered.
Never expose bearing on a dirty bench or floor. Never use a bearing as a gauge
to check either the housing bore or the shaft fit.
Dont wash a new bearing it is already clean and the slushing oil should not
be removed. Old grease can be washed from a used bearing with a solvent but
fluid and container must be clean. After this cleaning, wash the bearing out
thoroughly with light oil and then relubricate. Bearings should be washed only
when necessary. (See pages 31 and 79).
Before mounting, be sure shaft size is within the specified tolerances

recommended for the bearing. The bearing seat should be perfectly round
and not tapered. It should be clean and free from nicks and burrs. If a shaft
is too worn to properly seat a bearing dont use it! Support shaft firmly in
a clean place; if in a vise, protect it from vice jaws. Protectors can be soft
metal, wood, cardboard or paper.

To press bearing on shaft, first apply a thin coating of lightweight oil to the
bearing seat and bore. Place fitting tool over the shaft and rest it on inner ring.
Be sure bearing is square on shaft, then apply pressure by tapping fitting tool or
end of pipe with hammer or using arbor press.
When temperature mounting an open cylindrical bore bearing, three methods

are typically used:
1. Using an induction heater
2. Heating in a clean temperature-controlled electric oven or on a hotplate to a
maximum of 121C (250F) for about 15 minutes.
3. Boiling in emulsion of 10% to 15% soluble oil in water. Be sure to place
supports under bearing to isolate it from bottom of container, as contact will
overheat bearing. Also be sure that oil is clean. (See p. 9).
Thoroughly heat bearing but do not overheat. This will prevent seizing on the
cold shaft. After bearing is in place against shaft shoulder, lock it immediately
with a locknut. Otherwise, in shrinking, bearing may move away from its proper
position against shaft shoulder.
Danger
When mounting in a split housing, check bore of housing to see that it is within
specified tolerances and is perfectly round. Bearing must not be pinched by a
small bore or because of a cocked outer ring. Dont switch housing caps they
are not interchangeable. An undersized housing bore will pinch the bearing and
cause early failure.
Some precautions must be taken when mounting bearings in a solid housing;

i.e., the outer ring should be perfectly square with the housing bore before any
pressure is applied. Here again, the housing bore should be within the specified
tolerances for the bearing size and should be perfectly round. The housing
bore and bearing outside diameter should be coated with a thin coating of
lightweight oil.
Cover an unfinished job, even if it is left for only a few hours. Rewrap each
bearing with greaseproof paper to keep out dirt and moisture.
The type of lubricant used usually depends on operating conditions follow the
machine builders instructions. When oil is used, cover about half of bottom ball
or roller. It is preferred that an oil sight gage be used and marked to show static
and operating oil levels. This helps to determine when additional oil is required.
The operating level is different from the static level and can be determined only
when the bearing is in operation. For more details, see section on lubrication
(page 64).

Be sure bearing is square with and held firmly against shaft shoulder. Secure it
with a locknut and lockwasher. Housing covers must be tight to keep lubricant in
and dirt out. After held bearing has been positioned, the free bearing should be
located centrally in its housing to permit expansion and contraction of the shaft.

Small and medium-sized bearings may be dismounted cold using a

conventional puller. If the bearing has been mounted with an interference fit on
the shaft, the puller should preferably engage the inner ring.
To avoid damage to the bearing seating, the puller must be accurately
centered. The use of a 3 jaw or split strong back puller (shown) eliminates the
risk of damage, and dismounting is simpler and faster.
One of the easiest mounting and dismounting procedures, the SKF Oil Injection
method is frequently used for larger sized bearings.
Bearing pullers may be used separately or in various combinations to pull or

push complete bearings or individual rings.
Never pound directly on a bearing or ring.

This may damage both shaft and bearing.
WARNING: There is also a danger of
the bearing shattering and causing
human injury.
30
To drive shaft out of bearing, use a soft

metal slug which will not mar the shaft
(available in SKF Fitting Tool Kit).
An arbor press is equally good for both

cold mounting and removing bearings.
Can the Bearing Be Used Again?

Always inspect a dismounted bearing,
but dont try to judge whether it can be
reused until after it has been cleaned.
Treat it as new.
Never spin a dirty bearing; instead,
rotate it slowly while washing. Wash
with a petroleum-based solvent. Dry
with a clean, lint-free cloth or compressed clean, moisture-free air, taking
care that no bearing part starts
rotating. Contact your SKF Authorized
Distributor for information on
equipment for cleaning and drying.
Larger bearings with badly oxidized
lubricant can be cleaned with a strong
alkaline solution, for example, a solution containing up to 10% caustic soda.
Add 1% of a suitable wetting agent.
Take care when following this cleaning procedure: lye is harmful to skin,
clothing and aluminum. Always use
protective gloves, goggles and apron.
Examine a used bearing closely to
determine whether it is reusable. Use a
small mirror and a dental-type probe
with a rounded point to inspect raceways, cage and rolling elements.
Be alert for scratches, marks,
streaks, cracks, discolorations, mirrorlike surfaces and so on. Carefully
rotate the bearing and listen to the
sound. An undamaged bearing (i.e.,
one that has no marks or other defects
and runs evenly without abnormally
large radial internal clearance) can be
remounted. Before a large bearing is
remounted for a critical application, ask
SKF for examination. The cost of such
inspection may actually save money.
Bearings with a shield or seal on
one side should be cleaned, dried,
inspected and handled in the same
way as bearings without seals.
However, never wash a bearing with
seals or shields on both sides. They
are sealed and lubricated for life and
should be replaced if you suspect
bearing or seal damage.
To prevent corrosion, use a rust preventative immediately after cleaning.
Cleaning Bearings
There are two methods of cleaning
bearings: hot and cold.
Cold cleaning involves washing the
bearing in petroleum based solvents or
a similar substance. Always use clean
fluid and tools, using one receptacle for
the first wash and another for the final
rinse. Dry the bearing and grease or oil
it immediately after drying. Protect it
from dirt until mounting.
When hot cleaning, use a thin, clean
oil with a flash point of at least 480F
(250C). Heat the oil to about 250F
(120C). Hot cleaning is generally very
effective. The residual oil, moreover,
provides temporary protection against
rust. See p. 79 for more details about
cleaning bearings.
Do not spin bearings before cleaning. Dirt

can cause serious scratching.
WARNING:
Use protective gloves whenever
possible. Regular contact with petroleum
products may cause allergic reactions.
Follow the Material Safety Data Sheet
(MSDS) safety instructions included with
the solvent you use to clean bearings.
Mounting Used Bearings
Remember: Used bearings should be
thoroughly cleaned before mounting,
except for bearings with integral
shields or seals which should never be
washed just clean the outer
surfaces. Replace the bearing if it
appears to be damaged.
If a bearing is very dirty or is
encrusted with carbonized lubricant, it
is generally not worth cleaning. Most
often it is more economical to install a
new bearing.
Soak bearings thoroughly in solvent. Then

rinse them in clean solvent, light oil or
kerosene.
Do not spin by force of air. Hold both rings.

Use clean, dry air.
31
If a rolling bearing is to function

satisfactorily, both the fit between the
inner ring and the shaft, and the fit
between the outer ring and the housing,
must be suitable for the application.
Fig 1
Suitable Fits
Although a bearing must satisfy
widely varying operating conditions,
which determine the choice of fit, the
tolerances for the bearing itself are
standardized. The desired fits can
therefore be obtained only by selecting
the proper tolerances for the shaft
diameter and the housing bore. The
system of limits and fits used by
industry for all rolling bearings except
tapers (ISO Standard 286) contains a
considerable choice of shaft and
housing tolerances. When used with
standard bearings, these will give any
of the desired fits, from the tightest to
the loosest required. Each tolerance is
designated by a letter and a numeral.
The letter (small for shaft diameters
and capital for housing bores) locates
the tolerance zone in relation to the
nominal dimensions, and the numeral
gives the magnitude of the tolerance
zone. Figure 1 illustrates this relation. The rectangles indicate the location and magnitude of the various shaft
and housing tolerance zones which
are used for rolling bearings, superimposed on the bore and O.D. tolerance.
The selection of fit depends on the
character of the load, the bearing
dimensions, the temperature
conditions in the bearing in operation,
the heat expansion of the shaft and
other parts, the design, and the
requirements for running accuracy.

Location of shaft and housing tolerance grades with respect to bearing bore and O.D.
tolerances (exaggerated).
Consideration must also be given

to the fact that a solid shaft deforms
differently than a hollow one.
In determining suitable fits for the
inner ring and the outer ring in any
given application, the direction of the
load in relation to the respective bear-
ing ring is of prime importance. For the

selection of the proper shaft and housing tolerance for radial bearings, refer
to Tables 1 and 1a respectively. For
thrust bearings, see Tables 2 and 3
respectively.
The symbols for the shaft and housing

tolerances that apply in each case may
be determined from the tables by taking
into account the conditions of loading,
the type and size of the bearing.
For the definitions of light, normal
and heavy loads, refer to Figure 2 .
For corresponding maximum and minimum shaft and housing diameters and
the resulting maximum and minimum
interference of clearance fits, see:
Tables 5a and 5b (inch and metric,
respectively) for bearing bore and
shaft; Tables 6a and 6b (inch and
metric, respectively) for bearing O.D.
and housing.
For inch dimensioned tapered roller
bearings, the recommended shaft
diameter and housing bore deviations
from nominal diameters and the resulting fits are shown in Tables 10 13 .
Dimensional, form and running
accuracy of bearing seatings and
abutments
The accuracy of cylindrical bearing
seatings on shafts and in housing
bores, of seatings for thrust bearing
washers and of the support surfaces
(abutments) for bearing rings provided
by shaft and housing shoulders, etc.
should correspond to the accuracy of
the bearings used. In the following,
guideline values for dimensional, form
and running accuracy are given which
should be adhered to when machining
seatings and abutments.
Dimensional tolerances
For bearings made with normal
tolerances, the dimensional accuracy of
the cylindrical seatings on the shaft is
shown in Tables 1 , 2 , 5a and 5b .
For housings, see Tables 1a , 3 , 6a
and 6b . For bearings with higher accuracy, correspondingly higher tolerances
should be used; for ABEC 5 bearings
see Tables 14 and 15 .
Where adapter or withdrawal
sleeves are used on cylindrical shafts,
wider diameter tolerances can be
permitted than for bearing seatings;
see Table 4 .
The basic tolerance for the standardized tolerance series to ISO/R2861962 will be found in Table 7 .

and modified for improved materials and manufacturing methods).
P = Equivalent dynamic bearing load (for definition, see SKF product catalogs).
Tolerances for cylindrical form

The cylindricity tolerance t, as defined
in ISO 1101-1983 should be 1 to 2 IT
grades better than the prescribed
dimensional tolerance, depending on
requirements. For example, if a bearing seating on a shaft has been
machined to tolerance m6, then the
accuracy of form should be to IT5 or
IT4. The tolerance value t1 for cylindricity is obtained for an assumed shaft
diameter of 150 mm from t1 = IT5/2 =
18/2 = 9m or from t1 = IT4/2 = 12/2 =
6m. Table 9 gives guideline values
for the cylindrical form tolerance
(and for the total runout tolerance t3
if preferred).
Tolerance for perpendicularity
Abutments for bearing rings should
have a rectangularity tolerance as
defined in ISO 1101-1983 which
is better by at least one IT grade
than the diameter tolerance of the
associated cylindrical seating. For
thrust bearing washer seatings, the
perpendicularity tolerance should not

exceed the values to IT5. Guideline
values for the rectangularity tolerance
t2 (and for the total axial runout t4) will
be found in Table 9 .
Surface roughness of
bearing seatings
The roughness of bearing seating surfaces does not have the same degree
of influence on bearing performance
as the dimensional, form and running
accuracies. However, a desired interference fit is much more accurately
obtained the smoother the mating
surfaces are. For less critical bearing
arrangements relatively large surface
roughnesses are permitted. For bearing arrangements where demands in
respect to accuracy are high, guideline
values for the mean surface roughness
Ra are given in Table 8 for different
dimensional accuracies of the bearing
seatings. These guideline values apply
to ground seatings, which are normally
assumed for shaft seatings. For fine
turned seatings, the roughness may be
a class or two higher.

Lubrication
Adequate lubrication of rolling bearings

is essential to achieving Lna, the
calculated life expectancy. The principles
of lubrication of rolling bearings differ
considerably from the established
practices used for plain or sleeve-type
bearings. These principles must be
known and applied to correctly design
rolling bearing lubrication systems. It is
equally important to incorporate them
in maintenance procedures, as well as
actually applying them in servicing the
equipment.
This section presents various
successful lubrication arrangements
based on SKFs extensive practical
experience with all types of rolling
element bearings. Examples of both
oil and grease lubrication are included.
In choosing a particular lubricant, it
should be noted, however, that
successful performance is not assured
on the basis of specifications alone.
The lubricant should be produced by a
reputable, knowledgeable supplier, and
the principles of adequate lubrication
actually applied.
The Functions of Lubrication
Rolling bearing lubricants serve the
following primary functions:
1. To lubricate all true rolling contacts
elastohydrodynamically;
2. To lubricate that part of the contact
between the raceways and rolling
elements which is not true rolling;
3. To lubricate the sliding contact
which exists between the retainer
and other parts of the bearing.
64
Secondary functions are:

4. To protect the highly finished
surfaces of rolling elements and
rings from corrosion;
5. To help seal housings against
external contamination (done with
grease pack);
6. In the case of oil to provide a heat
transfer medium.
Oil Lubrication
The Annular Bearing Engineers
Committee (ABEC) has, after
extensive research, issued the following
recommendations:
The friction torque in a ball bearing
lubricated with oil consists essentially
of two components. One of these is a
function of the bearing design and the
load imposed on the bearing, and the
other is a function of the viscosity and
quantity of the oil and the speed of the
bearing.
It has been found that the friction
torque in a bearing is lowest with a
very small quantity of oil, just sufficient
to form a thin film over the contacting
surfaces, and that the friction will
increase with greater quantity and with
higher viscosity of the oil. With more oil
than just enough to make a film, the
friction torque will also increase with
the speed.
The energy loss in a bearing is
proportional to the product of torque
and speed. This energy loss will be
dissipated as heat, and cause a rise in
the temperature of the bearing and its
housing. This temperature rise will be
checked by radiation, convection and
conduction of the heat generated to an

extent depending upon the construction of the housing and the influence of
the surrounding atmosphere. The rise
in temperature, due to operation of the
bearing, will result in a decrease in
viscosity of the oil, and therefore, a
decrease in friction torque compared
with the friction of starting, but soon a
balanced condition will be reached.
With so many factors influencing
the friction torque, energy loss, and
temperature rise in a bearing lubricated
with oil, it is evidently not possible to
give definite recommendations for
selection of an oil for all bearing
applications.
When bearings have to operate in a
wide range of temperatures, an oil that
has the least changes with temperature variations, i.e., an oil with high
viscosity index, should be selected.
In the great majority of applications
pure mineral oils are most satisfactory,
but they should, of course, be free from
contamination that may cause wear in
the bearing, and they should show high
resistance to oxidation, gumming, and
to deterioration by evaporation of light
distillates, and they must not cause corrosion of any parts of the bearing during standing or operation.
It is evident that for very low starting
temperatures an oil must be selected
that has sufficiently low pour-point, so
that the bearing will not be locked by
oil frozen solid.
In special applications, various
compounded oils may be preferred,
and in such cases the recommendation of the lubricant manufacturer
should be obtained.

Selection of Oil
The most important property of
lubricating oil is the viscosity.
Figures 1 and 2 should be used to
assure that the viscosity is adequate in
an application to insure proper film
forming. Figure 1 shows the
minimum required viscosity as a
function of bearing size and rotational
speed. See pages 65 and 67.
The viscosity of a lubricating oil,
however, varies with temperature. It
decreases with increasing temperature. Therefore, the viscosity at the
operating temperature must be used,
rather than the viscosity grade (VG)
which is based on the viscosity at
the internationally standardized reference temperature of 40C (104F).
Figure 2 can be used to determine
the actual viscosity at the operating
temperature.
Example:
A bearing having a bore diameter of 45
mm and an outside diameter of 85 mm
is required to operate at a speed of
2000 rpm. The pitch diameter dm = 0.5
(d + D) = 0.5 (45 + 85) = 65 mm. As
shown in Figure 1 , the intersection of
dm = 65 mm with the oblique line representing 2000 rpm yields a minimum
viscosity required of 13 mm2/s. Now let
us assume that the operating temperature is 80C (176F). In Figure 2 , the
intersection between temperature 80C
and required viscosity 13 mm2/s is
between the oblique lines for VG46
and VG68. Therefore, a lubricant with
the viscosity grade of at least VG68
should be used, i.e. a lubricant of at
least 68 mm2/s viscosity at the standard reference temperature of 40C
(104F).
When determining the operating
temperature, it should be kept in mind
that the temperature of the oil is usually 3 to 11C (5 to 20F) higher than
that of the bearing housing. For example, assuming that the temperature of
the bearing housing is 77C (170F),
the temperature of the oil will usually
be 80 to 88C (176 to 190F).
If a lubricant with higher than
required viscosity is selected, an
improvement in bearing performance
66
(life) can be expected. Contact SKF

Application Engineering for more
details.
However, since increased viscosity
can raise the bearing operating temperature, there is frequently a practical
limit to the lubrication improvement
which can be obtained by this means.
Also only solvent refined mineral oil
should be used.
For exceptionally low or high
speeds, for critical loading conditions
or for unusual lubrication conditions,
please consult SKF Applications
Engineering.
For all calculations, the viscosity
should be expressed in mm2/s (cSt).
See Figure 2b for conversion to other
viscosity units.
Note: The previous procedure applies
to solvent refined mineral oils only.
Relubrication Intervals
The frequency at which the oil must
be changed is mainly dependent on
the operating conditions and on the
quantity of oil used.
Where oil bath lubrication is
employed it is normally sufficient to
change the oil once a year, provided
the bearing temperature does not
exceed 50C (120F) and there is no
contamination. Higher temperatures
or more arduous running conditions
necessitate more frequent changes,
e.g. at a temperature of 100C
(220F) the oil should be changed
every three months.
For circulating oil systems the period
between complete oil changes is
dependent on how often the oil is
circulated over a given period of time
and whether it is cooled, etc. The most
suitable period can generally only be
determined by trial runs and frequent
examination of the oil. The same
practice also applies to oil jet lubrication. When in doubt, consult machine
manufacturers recommendations.
In oil mist lubrication, most of the oil
is lost, as it is conveyed to the bearing
only once.
Oil Supply Systems
Since oils are liquid, suitable
enclosures must be provided to
prevent leakage and they should

receive careful consideration.
Oil Bath
A simple oil bath method ( fig 3 )
is satisfactory for low and moderate
speeds. The oil level at stand-still
must not be higher than the center of
the lowest ball or roller and, in cases
of higher speeds, may lie only 18 above
the corner at outer ring face
and outer ring sphere. Any static oil
level must be checked only at
standstill. A reliable sight-glass gauge
should be provided to permit an
easy check.
Circulating Systems
Circulating oil, by forced feed or other
means, simplifies maintenance, particularly on large machines, and prolongs
the life of the oil where operating conditions are usually severe, such as high
ambient temperatures and steadily
increasing power inputs and speeds.
Entry of oil is best at the center plane of
the bearing, at the oil groove, near the
top of the housing. Drain for the center
feed is best done by two drains, one on
each side wall of the housing, leading
downward immediately outside the
housing. Horizontal drains must be
avoided. An alternate method is to have
the inlet on one side, below the
horizontal center, and drain from the
opposite side of the bearing. The outlet
should be larger than the inlet to
prevent accumulating too much oil in
the bearing housing.
The amount of oil retained in the
housing is controlled by the location of
the outlet. For a wet sump the oil
level at a standstill must not be higher
than the center of the lowest ball or
roller. A reliable sight-glass gauge
should be provided to permit an easy
check. Where there is extreme heat,
the lubricant will last longer if the dry
sump design is used permitting the oil
to drain out immediately after it has
passed through the bearing. The
outlets are then located at the lowest point
on both sides of the housing. It has
been found that with this arrangement
the bearings remain cleaner since

The SKF Triple Enclosure Rings are solid rings made with a slip fit on the shaft. The rings can slide along the shaft and adjust their
positions with the grooves in the pillow block as governed by the bearing position. Note that the enclosure drains return to the sump below
the oil level. This is to prevent oil in mist or splash form from entering the enclosures through these returns.

The drain area (one drain each side of the bearing) should be larger than the inlet area to prevent excess oil from accumulating in the housing. Drains can be located to provide a wet sump (static level) or a dry sump. The cross-section of Figure 4 shows a dry sump example to
the left of the bearing and wet sump to the right.
there is little chance of carbonized oil

being retained in the housing. When
the outlets, or drains, are located at the
lowest point on both sides of the
housing, an arrangement is necessary
to indicate when oil flow is impaired or
stopped. Electrically interlocking the oil
pump motor with the motor driving the
machine can provide this protection.
Note that with the SKF bearings the
groove or sphere in the outer ring on
horizontal mountings will always retain
some oil. The bearing will therefore
have some oil when it starts to rotate.
Figure 4 shows a pillow block with oil
circulation for felt and paper dryers in

paper machines.
Wick Feed
Wick feed is suitable for extreme
speeds as a small quantity of filtered
oil is supplied to the bearing.
Moreover, there is no risk of the
lubricant being churned inside the
housing. However, some attention
must be given to the wicks and they
have to be replaced occasionally. They
should be dried and thoroughly saturated with oil before mounting, in order
to prevent absorption of moisture,

which would impair their ability to convey lubricant.
Figure 9 shows a wick feed where
the wick siphons the oil into the bearing.
With this arrangement, no wear takes
place but the wicks will continue to feed
oil when the machine has stopped.
Figure 10 shows an arrangement
whereby oil is conveyed by a wick
by means of capillary attraction to a
rotating collar or flinger, where it is
thrown off by centrifugal force. This
system has the advantage of delivering
oil only when it is needed. However, to

function, the wick must be in contact

with the rotating flinger.
Oil Mist from Separate Mist Generator
This method consists of a mixture of
air and atomized oil being supplied to
the bearing housing under suitable
pressure. The oil mist is formed in an
atomizer. Several manufacturers offer
suitable designs and can recommend
systems, capacities, and operating
temperature and pressures to assure
maintaining the required oil viscosity, ,
at the bearings rolling contacts.
The air, charged with a mist of oil, is
introduced in the housing between the
bearings so that the air will pass
through the bearings before escaping
through the housing enclosures or
vents. The air from the supply line first
passes through a filter then through a
reduction valve, which reduces the line
pressure to a suitable value. It then
passes through an atomizer, where the
oil mist is formed. It is important that
the air be sufficiently dry, which sometimes makes it necessary to use a
dehumidifier before the air is filtered.
70
Fig 6
Figure 6. Oil Spray on Fan Motor Bearings

The oil is conveyed to the tapered flinger by an oil ring which dips
into the oil bath. An important feature of this application is that the
air pressure on both sides of the bearing and enclosures is equalized by connecting ducts. This prevents leakage of the lubricant
when the housings are located in an air stream.
This method of lubrication has

proven very effective in reducing the
operating temperature, not so much by
air cooling as by the flow of air preventing excess oil from accumulating in the
bearing. Since the air under pressure
in the housing escapes through the
housing enclosures or vents, the
entrance of moisture and grit is
retarded. In addition, oil mist lubrication
continuously supplies only clean, fresh
oil to the bearings. The two factors
contribute to full life expectancy.
Because the bearings require very
little lubricant, the oil consumption is
comparatively small.
Air/Oil Lubrication
The air/oil method of lubrication uses
compressed air to transport a very
precise amount of lubricant directly to a
bearing. In contrast to oil mist methods,
the air/oil method involves no atomization of the air and oil. Generally, all air
oil systems operate on the same
principle. A continuous supply of
compressed air is used to transport
a predetermined amount of oil to a
specific point. Oil is metered into the air

stream of the supply lines to the
bearing housings at set time intervals,
monitored by a programmable controller. The oil coats the inside of the
supply lines and spirals / creeps in
the direction of the air flow. Through a
phenomenon known as the wall attachment effect, the oil is transported along
the inside wall of the feed line by the
movement of the air, but never mixes
with the air. Figure 11 shows a typical
air/oil system configuration.
Both the oil mist and air/oil methods
of lubrication offer the ability to build
and maintain internal bearing
pressures, which help to repel contaminants. However, when used in appropriate applications, the air/oil method
offers significant advantages. For
example, higher base oil viscosity can
be more effectively used with the air/oil
system. Also, the system does not vent
oil mist into the environment. Finally, it
uses a lower volume of oil, so it is more
cost-efficient.
Fig 7
Fig 8
Figure 8. Oil Lubrication for High-Speed Vertical Shaft

Oil climbs upward on the outside taper of the bottom flinger and is
blown into a mist where the taper ends. The air circulation, provided
by the top flinger and return channels, carries the lubricant into the
bearing. The hole in the bottom flinger equalizes the air pressure on
both sides of the seal and prevents syphoning of the lubricant. The
pin close to the tapered collar counteracts rotation of the oil and
therefore contributes towards more efficient lubrication.
Figure 7. High-Speed Shaper Spindle

Oil is carried upward by the rotating collar under the bearings and
passes the latter in the form of a mist. This and Figure 8 are examples of the internally generated mist. Owing to the strong pumping
action, space must be available for the oil to accumulate above the
bearing. Return channels are often provided to maintain circulation
of the lubricant.
Fig 10
Fig 9
Figure 10. Wick Feed on Vertical Shaper Spindle

The wick conveys the lubricant to a rotating collar, from which it is
thrown off and drains back through the bearing. This method circulates
and filters the oil, so that clean lubricant is delivered to the bearing.

Grease Lubrication
Rolling bearing greases are usually
a suspension of oil in a soap or nonsoap thickener, plus protective additives. When moving parts of a bearing
come in contact with the grease, a
small quantity of oil will adhere to the
bearing surfaces. Oil is, therefore,
removed from the grease near the
rotating parts. The oil that is picked
up by the bearing is gradually broken
down by oxidation or lost by evaporation, centrifugal force, etc. Bleeding
of the grease should, therefore, take
place to continually supply a quantity
of oil sufficient for satisfactory operation. In time, the grease will oxidize
or the oil in the grease near the bearing will be depleted. Relubrication is
then necessary.
The Ball and Roller Bearing
Engineers Committees of the
American Bearing Manufacturers
Association, Inc. (ABMA) has been,
over a period of years, undertaking laboratory and field research in an effort to
obtain a solution to the many problems
that are faced by rolling bearing users
in obtaining suitable greases for lubricating bearings. In as much as the
bearing manufacturers have no control
over the manufacture of greases, they
cannot be expected to guarantee their
performance under all conditions. The
guide which follows has been developed from practical experience and
careful analysis and its only purpose is
to aid the rolling bearing user in the
selection of the proper lubricant for the
72
operating conditions of a particular

application. The bearing user will
appreciate that some lubricants which
conform to this guide may not be suitable for all applications, and that some
greases that do not conform may
sometimes be satisfactory. It is recommended that the bearing user consult
with the bearing manufacturer and the
grease supplier to determine the lubricant that will be most suitable for the
particular application, especially for
temperatures below 29C (20F)
and above 121C (250F).
There is a trend toward developing a
grease sometimes designated as an
all purpose lubricant covering
extremes of temperature. However, until
such a grease has been produced and
proven by exhaustive tests both in the
laboratory and in the field, it will not be
recognized in this guide. It has long been
felt that the actual temperature of the
bearing while running is the most critical
factor to be considered in choosing a
grease, and for this reason SKF shows
the five most frequently encountered
grease types and their satisfactory
running temperature ranges.
Grease life is not shown since such
factors as temperature, speed, load,
humidity, type of service and frequency of lubrication would all have to be
considered. In applications where
elevated temperature, high speed,
severe dirt, high humidity or other
extreme conditions are encountered,
particularly with open type bearings,
accelerated deterioration of the grease
may ensue. In such cases periodic
inspection during the first few weeks

of operation will provide the best determination of the required frequency
of relubrication.
On the other hand, relubrication
of sealed bearings which have been
provided with approved greases in
the proper amount is not generally
considered advisable.
All grease shall be free from dirt,
abrasive matter, fillers, excessive amount
of moisture, free acid or free alkali.

high as 107C (225F).
5. Group V Extreme High

Temperature
proper lubrication for comparatively
short periods of time where bearing
operating temperature may be as
high as 232C (450F).
These five groups of greases cover
applications where the lubrication is
not affected by extremely heavy loads,
high speeds or excessive humidity. The
tabulation of test requirements which
follows shows those characteristics
needed to meet the functional requirements of good rolling bearing greases.
The five groups of greases
previously listed along with their test
requirements in general apply to both
ball and roller bearing greases. Usually
roller bearing lubrication requires a
somewhat softer grease, and a minimum ASTM worked penetration of 300
is often specified. All of the other
requirements such as oxidation
stability, dropping point and dirt count
apply to greases for roller bearing as
well as ball bearing applications.
In greasing rolling bearings the use

of high pressure equipment is not only
unnecessary but is actually undesirable unless used with great care.
High pressure may damage the bearings, cause unnecessary loss of
grease, create a danger of overheating
due to overgreasing and produce
unsightly conditions around the bearing. A ball or roller bearing in most
applications is assured of adequate
lubrication if the level of grease is
maintained at 13 to 12 of the volume
of the bearing housing space. Any
greater amount will, as a rule, be discharged by the seals and be wasted.
There may exist applications where
it will be necessary to grease the
bearings with either more or less than
the recommended 13 to 12 of volume.
In applications where the speed is high
or low torque is a requirement the
bearings may be lubricated with a very
small amount of grease. Similarly in
applications where the speed is very
low and the bearing is exposed to
excessive amounts of dirt or moisture
the bearing may be packed nearly full.
Greases to be used in miniature bearings and instrument bearings may require

a lower dirt maximum per cubic cm ratio
than listed in the accompanying table.

Figure 12. Radial Bearings on Horizontal Shafts

Since the machined retainer in (a) presents flat surfaces to the surrounding lubricant,
a stiff grease may soon leave the interior of the bearing dry. The lubricant must therefore,
in this case, be rather soft at the operating temperature. A somewhat stiffer grease might,
however, be satisfactory with (b) as the interior is more accessible. The position of (c) is
intermediate in this respect.
Fig 14
Figure 13. Angular Contact Ball Bearing

on Horizontal Shaft
Angular contact bearings tend to pump the
lubricant from the side (a) to (b). A grease of
soft consistency would pass right through
the bearing if applied at (a), whereas, a stiff
grease would be more satisfactory if applied
from the same side. On the other hand, a
soft grease would be more desirable if
applied at side (b), since a hard grease
would channel and leave the bearing dry.
mixing greases of different soap

bases. Since the rust preventive in
which SKF bearings are packed is a
petroleum product, the only occasion
for removing it is when the bearing is
to be lubricated with special lubricants.
Operating Conditions
Figure 14. Deep Groove Ball Bearings on Vertical Shaft

On vertical applications where the grease is admitted above the bearing a hard grease is
required so that it remains in the bearing (a). Where the grease is resting on a plate, as in
(b), a softer consistency is required as otherwise no lubricant would seep into the bearing.
Greases considered satisfactory

lubricants for rolling bearings are
combinations of soap or non-soap
thickening agents, mineral oil, and in
many cases ingredients necessary to
impart special properties to the grease.
Soaps such as sodium, calcium, aluminum, lithium, barium, and non-soap
thickening agents such as silica and
chemically treated clays are generally
used. Rust and oxidation inhibitors and
tackiness additives are often added to
impart properties not normally present
in the grease. Sodium and mixed
sodium-calcium soap greases are
74
considered good general purpose

greases, while calcium, lithium, and
barium soap greases and the nonsoap greases are often used when
water resistance is necessary.
However, calcium base greases are
limited to lower operating temperatures. The fluids used in compounding
these greases may vary in viscosity
from 10 mm2/s at 38C (60 SUS at
100F) to over 431 mm2/s(2000 SUS).
Special synthetic oils are used to
produce greases that can be used at
extremely low and/or extremely high
temperatures. Be careful to avoid
The amount of oil needed by the bearing depends of course, on operating

conditions particularly temperature.
Since a temperature rise of 8 to
11C(14 to 20F) can double the rate
of oxidation, the lubrication problem at
the higher temperatures requires more
careful consideration. It would however
be erroneous to conclude that a grease
suitable for a high temperature would
also be successful at low temperatures.
In all probability, it would be too hard
to supply the oil required. On the other
hand, a grease which is too soft may
have a tendency to flow out of a hot
application. The selection of the most
suitable consistency of a grease is
dependent upon the bearing design as
well as its orientation.
In Figures 12 , 13 , and 14 further
reference is made to this condition.
It is accordingly advisable to have
a competent Lubrication Engineer
check all applications before taking
any action which is not supported
by available experience.
Lubrication and Maintenance

Relubrication
Rolling bearings have to be lubricated
if the service life of the grease used
is shorter than the expected service
life of the bearing. Relubrication
should always be undertaken at
a time when the lubrication of the
bearing is still satisfactory.
The time at which relubrication
should be undertaken depends on
many factors. These include bearing
type and size, speed, operating temperature, grease type, space around
the bearing and the bearing environment. The SKF relubrication intervals
are defined as the time period, at the
end of which 99% of the bearings are
still reliably lubricated, and represent
L01 grease lives. The L10 grease lives
are approximately twice the L01 lives.
The information given in the following
does not apply to applications where
water and/or solid contaminants can penetrate the bearing arrangement. In such
cases it is recommended that the grease
is frequently renewed in order to remove
contaminants from the bearing.
Relubrication Intervals
The relubrication intervals tf for normal
operating conditions can be read off
as a function of bearing speed n and
bore diameter d of a specific bearing
type from Figure 15 . The diagram is
valid for bearings on horizontal shafts
in stationary machines under normal
loads. It applies to good quality lithium
base greases at a temperature not
exceeding +70C(+160F). To take
account of the accelerated ageing of
the grease with increasing temperature
it is recommended that the intervals
obtained from the diagram are halved
for every 15C(27F) increase in bearing temperature above +70C(+160F),
remembering that the maximum
operating temperature for the grease
should not be exceeded. The intervals
may be extended at temperatures
lower than +70C(+160F) but as
operating temperatures decrease the
grease will bleed oil less readily, and
at low temperatures an extension of
the intervals by more than two times
is not recommended. It is not advisable

to use relubrication intervals in excess
of 30,000 hours. For bearings on vertical shafts the intervals obtained from
the diagram should be halved.
It is also necessary to lubricate
more frequently in applications where
there is a risk of heavy contamination,
e.g.: bearings in papermaking machinery,
where housings are washed with water.
Large roller bearings having a bore diameter of 300 mm and above, adequate
lubrication will be obtained only if the
bearing is more frequently relubricated
than indicated by the diagram, and the
lines are therefore broken. The grease
quantity to be supplied can be obtained
from the equation below for applications
where conditions are otherwise normal,
i.e. where external heat is not applied
(recommendations for grease quantities
for periodic relubrication are given in the
following section).
Gk = (0.3 ...0.5) D B x 104
where
Gk = grease quantity to be
continuously supplied, g/h
D = bearing outside diameter, mm
B = total bearing width (for thrust
bearings use total height H),mm
Relubrication procedures
One of the two procedures described
below should be used, depending on
the relubrication interval tf obtained:
If the relubrication interval is
shorter than 6 months, then it is
recommended that the grease fill
in the bearing arrangement be
replenished (topped up) at intervals
corresponding to 0.5 tf; the complete grease fill should be replaced
after three replenishments.
When relubrication intervals are
longer than 6 months it is recommended as a rough guideline that
all used grease be removed from
the bearing arrangement and
replaced by fresh grease.
Replenishment
By adding small quantities of fresh
grease at regular intervals the used
grease in the bearing arrangement will

only be partially replaced. Suitable quantities to be added can be obtained from
Gp (g) = .005 x D (mm) x B (mm)
D (in) x B (in)
Gp (oz) =
10
where
Gp = grease quantity to be added
when replenishing
D = bearing outside diameter
B = total bearing width (for thrust
bearings use total height H)
Grease Supply Systems
Housings without Grease Fittings
For light and medium service, such
as line shafts, the original supply of
grease will usually last from one to
two years or even a longer time at
lower ambient temperature. It is,
accordingly, advisable to omit grease
fittings to discourage over-greasing.
The old grease should be removed
during overhauls and replaced by new
grease, which should be worked into
the available space in the bearing by
hand. ABMA recommends from 13 to 12
of the volume in the housing should
be filled with grease for normal applications. An over-supply would only
result in churning and breakdown
of the lubricant.
Needless to say, care should be
taken to keep the bearing and
lubricant clean.
Housings with Grease Fittings
The original filling, and subsequent
additions of small amounts of grease
after cleaning at major overhauls,
should be made as indicated previously.
Adding of lubricant close to the bearing can be effected in several ways.
Figure 16 shows a design which
can easily be adapted for this purpose.
The lubricant is added using a grease
gun at the bottom of the housing, close
to the outer ring. The radially placed
ribs inside the left-hand end cover tend
to deflect the new grease into the
bearing without the undesirable effect
of first filling the entire space in the

end-cover. These ribs also prevent the

grease from being carried around or
worked by the rotating shaft, thereby
keeping the temperature down and
preventing grease leakage. The endcover on the right-hand side provides
ample space to receive the old grease
which has passed through the bearing.
The cover is split to facilitate removal
of the old grease at major overhauls.
Another method which can be used
for small and medium size bearings is
to force out the old grease with the
new. The housing should have a large
drain, located on the side opposite
the grease fitting, to force all grease
to pass through the bearing.
Before adding new grease, make
sure that the grease fitting is clean.
Clean out any grease which may have
caked in the drain hole, so the old
grease may be easily expelled. When
adding grease, remove the drain plug
and force the new grease through the
fitting while the shaft is rotating.
Continue forcing in new grease until it
starts to come out of the drain. The
shaft should then be allowed to rotate
for about 20 minutes before replacing
the drain plug, to give the bearing a
chance to expel the excess grease.
Observe cleanliness at all times, whatever method is used, and be sure the new
lubricant is clean. Contaminated lubricant
will reduce the life of the bearing.
Comparing both methods, the first
calls for more skill if the dangers
of over-greasing are to be avoided, but
has the advantage of being applicable
to large bearing sizes, while the latter
lends itself readily to small bearings.
With large bearings the pressure of
the grease gun may not suffice to drive
the old grease through the drain to
the extent desired. Consequently,
the bearings might be left in an overgreased state conducive to hot running.
Grease Chamber Lubrication
The arrangement shown in Figure 17
employs the use of a double-shielded
bearing, which has been prelubricated.
One side of the bearing housing is
packed full of an appropriate grease
by the usual grease gun method. See
grease classifications page 72. Addition
of lubricant to the original supply takes
place by seepage of oil from the
grease as well as a small amount of

grease being forced though the clearance in the shield. Care should be
taken to ensure that the proper type
and amount of grease is injected.
See replenishment on page 75. This
method does not eliminate the need for
care in avoiding overgreasing and its
consequent overheating and premature
failure. Using double-shielded bearings
not only helps prevent over-greasing
but also protects the bearing from dust
and foreign matter at assembly, or
whenever the bearing is exposed.
Using the double-shielded bearing
does not permit the elimination of the
usual housing enclosures.
Prelubricated ball bearings without
provisions for adding more grease are
used in domestic appliances and other
machines where the total number of
service hours is small. It should be
kept in mind that the life of these
greased for life bearings may be
limited to the time the grease will last.
Fig 16
Figure 16. Roller Bearing Arrangement

for Large Electric Motor
Grease Quantity Regulator

Fig 17
The grease chamber method described

above and the frequency of relubrication needed as relative speeds increase
both add to the potential for grease
buildup in a housing. SKF developed a
Grease Quantity Regulator design that
prohibits over-greasing regardless of
the frequency of lubrication needed.
The Regulator is shown adapted to
a horizontal application in Figure 18
and to a vertical application in
Figure 19 . The Regulator consists
of a regulating disc, which turns with
the shaft and maintains a small radial
or tapered gap with a stationary part.
If the grease quantity in the bearing
housing does not exceed a limit suitable
for that bearing and housing, the grease
at both sides of the bearing remains
nearly stationary and the temperature
remains normal. This is the grease
reserve from which oil is supplied to the
bearing when bearing temperature
begins to increase. If the grease quantity
is increased beyond the stable limit, part
of the grease is thrown about by the
rotating bearing and is thrown against
the Regulator and ejected through the
drain. The process continues until fresh
grease is no longer injected and the
operating quantity becomes stable again.

bearing and the end-cover is packed

77
Comparative Advantages of
Oil and Grease
Fig 18
Fig 19
Advantages of oil
1. Oil is easier to drain and refill.
This may be more desirable for
applications requiring frequent
lubricating intervals.
2. The correct amount of lubricant
is more easily controlled.
3. Oil lends itself more readily to the
lubrication of all parts of a machine.
4. Oil lends itself to applications
with higher temperatures and
higher operating speeds.
Advantages of grease
1. Maintenance work is ordinarily
reduced since there are no oil levels to maintain, and addition of new
lubricant is required less frequently.
2. Grease in proper quantity is
more easily confined to the
housing. Design of enclosures
can therefore be simplified.
3. Freedom from excess leakage is
readily accomplished in food,
textile and chemical industries,
and where contamination of
products must be avoided.
4. Grease improves the sealing
efficiency of enclosures.
A major feature of relubricating
bearings with grease quantity regulators
is that the inlet is located on the side
of the bearing opposite the Regulator.
The interior of the cover on the inlet
side should have ribs dividing the
inboard space into chambers to reduce
churning. The chambered cover and
regulator disc combine the advantages
of introducing fresh grease immediately
to where it is needed, effective purging
of old grease, and freedom from the
dangers of over-greasing.
High Temperature Applications
Where heat is generated in the bearings
only, temperature can usually be kept
within reasonable limits by means of a
suitable selection and quantity of lubricant. The contrary applies to cases where
78

Horizontal Shaft

Vertical Shaft
heat also comes from outside sources,

such as in hot gas fans, dryers, and so
forth. Under such conditions, some
method of cooling is usually necessary to
avoid excessive bearing temperatures
and premature failure of lubrication. The
following are some of the methods used
for decreasing the bearing temperature:
to merit any attention. There are, however, applications such as hand-driven

appliances, instruments, etc., where
friction must be kept to a minimum.
Friction is due not only to the bearing
design but also the quantity of lubricant used. Because of the many
exacting requirements that are necessary if friction is to be held to a minimum, it is impossible to treat this subject in a general way. Applications of
this kind should therefore be given
individual consideration. SKF
Applications Engineering welcomes
the opportunity to make use of
experience which has been gained
in this field.
1. Auxiliary cooling disc for dissipation

of heat conducted through the shaft
( fig 20 ).
2. Water-jacketing the end-covers will
also serve to cool the oil. Here
again, it is essential to shut off the
cooling water when the machine is
stationary in order to prevent condensation. The bearing housing
extending around the outer ring
should not be water-jacketed, since
this will introduce complications in
maintaining the desired fit of the
outer ring in the housing.
3. Circulation of the oil can also be used
to advantage, provided that the oil is
cooled and filtered. Settling tanks are
also used to permit any sludge formation or other foreign matter to settle out. As previously pointed out, the
oil should be permitted to drain out as
quickly as possible at the lowest point
on both sides of the housing after
having passed through the bearing.
Thus, unnecessary heating of the oil
and the settling of sludge inside the
housing are prevented.
Minimum Friction Applications
The friction of SKF ball and roller
bearings is, in most cases, too small
Protection Against Moisture

No rolling bearing lubricant has been
developed which will completely protect
a bearing against moisture. However,
rolling bearings are frequently used with
success where moisture is present. The
design of enclosures and lubrication
systems requires careful consideration.
Selection of the lubricant is important to
minimize effects of some moisture entry.
Compounded oils are more water
repellent than straight mineral oils
and are therefore better able to keep
moisture from the bearing surfaces. If
the oil is permitted to oxidize, it will be
more destructive to the bearing surfaces when moisture is present.
Lithium-base greases are
water-repellent but the grease must
completely cover the bearing to protect
it. Water-repellent grease is useful
also in improving the efficiency of
labyrinth seals.
Protection of Idle Machinery
Fig 20
Equipment which is idle must be set

in motion periodically to spread the
lubricant over all bearing surfaces.
Suitable intervals depend on ambient conditions. For storage, assembled
bearings should be cleaned and
packed full with petrolatum or other
suitable anti-rust agents, according
to the advice of a reputable supplier.
However, storage grease must be
removed thoroughly and the proper
amount of a suitable lubricant applied
before operation.

Cleaning
All lubricants have a tendency to
deteriorate in the course of time, but
at a greatly different rate. Therefore,
sooner or later, it will be necessary
to replace the old lubricant with new.
Oils and greases should be removed
in the early stages of deterioration so
that removal does not become unnecessarily troublesome. Oils can be
drained and the bearing flushed and
washed, preferably with some solvents,
kerosene or even with light oil. The
solution should then be drained thoroughly and the bearing and housing
flushed with some hot, light oil and
again drained before adding new lubricant. Lighter petroleum solvents may
be more effective for cleaning but are
often objectionable, either because of
flammability or because they may have
a tendency to become corrosive, particularly in the presence of humidity.
A grease is also more easily replenished in early stages of deterioration,
for instance, by displacement with new
grease, if the housing is designed so
that this can be done.
Bearings which are dismantled are,
of course, much more easily cleaned
than bearings which must stay assembled in equipment. Solvents can then
be used more freely for cleaning.
Badly oxidized oil and grease,
however, need a very thorough treatment for their removal; ordinary solvents are usually not satisfactory.
The following methods for cleaning
unshielded bearings, as suggested by
ABEC (Annular Bearing Engineers
Committee) are recommended.
Figure 20. Heat-Dissipating Disc

The disc is located between the bearing and the source of heat, so that any heat traveling
through the shaft towards the bearing will be dissipated by radiation. The disc is sometimes
provided with vanes to improve the efficiency by circulating the air.
1. Cleaning unmounted bearings which

have been in service
Place bearings in a basket and
suspend the basket in a suitable container
of clean, cold petroleum solvent or
kerosene and allow to soak, preferably
overnight. In cases of badly oxidized
grease, it may be found expedient to
soak bearings in hot, light oil at 93 to
116 C (200 to 240F), agitating the
basket of bearings slowly through the
oil from time to time. In extreme cases,
boiling in emulsifiable cleaners diluted
with water will usually soften the contaminating sludge. If the hot emulsion
solutions are used, the bearings should
be drained and spun individually until
the water has completely evaporated.
The bearings should be immediately
washed in a second container of clean
petroleum solvent or kerosene. Each
bearing should be individually cleaned
by revolving by hand with the bearing
partly submerged in the solvent...
turning slowly at first and working with
a brush if necessary to dislodge chips
or solid particles. The bearings may be
judged for their condition by rotating by
hand. After the bearings have been
judged as being clean, they should
immediately be spun in light oil to
completely remove the solvent . . .
coated with preservative if they are not
to be reassembled immediately and
wrapped at once in clean oilproof paper

while awaiting reassembly.
The use of chlorinate solvents of
any kind is not recommended in bearing cleaning operations because of the
rust hazard involved. Nor is the use of
compressed air found desirable in
bearing cleaning operations.
2. Cleaning of Bearings as Assembled
in an Installation
For cleaning bearings without dismounting, hot, light oil at 93 to 116 C
(200 to 240F) may be flushed through
the housing while the shaft or spindle
is slowly rotated. In cases of badly
oxidized grease and oil, hot, aqueous
emulsions may be run into the housings, preferably while rotating the
bearings until the bearing is satisfactorily
cleaned. The solution must then be
drained thoroughly, providing rotation if
possible, and the bearing and housing
flushed with hot, light oil and again
drained before adding new lubricant. In
some very difficult cases an intermediate flushing with a mixture of alcohol
and light mineral solvent after the
emulsion treatment may be useful.
If the bearing is to be relubricated
with grease, some of the fresh grease
may be forced through the bearing to
purge any remaining contamination.
This practice cannot be used unless
79

there are drain plugs which can be

removed so that the old grease may
be forced out. Also, bearings should
be operated for at least twenty minutes
before drain plugs are replaced, as
excess lubricant will cause serious
overheating of the bearing.
Fig 22
1. Bearings with cage
2. Full complement bearings

(without cage)
1. Bearings with cage

CARB has a relatively large free volume available for grease. If the bearing is run at relatively high speed
(greater than 75% of catalog speed
rating for grease) then there is a
chance that the temperature will be
elevated with a full pack of grease.
The recommendation is therefore
to only fill the space between inner
ring and cage when initially

greasing the bearing for high
speed applications.
For low or moderate speeds,
the bearing may be fully packed
with grease.
3. Oils Used for Cleaning

Light transformer oils, spindle oils, or
automotive flushing oils are suitable for
cleaning bearings, but anything heavier
than light motor (SAE 10) is not recommended. An emulsifying solution made
with grinding, cutting or floor cleaning
compounds, etc., in hot water, has
been found effective. Petroleum solvents must be used with the usual precautions associated with fire hazards.
WARNING: Follow the Material Safety
Data Sheet (MSDS) safety instructions
included with the solvent you use to
clean bearings.
CARBTM Toroidal Roller Bearing
Lubrication
Selection of grease
Grease for CARB toroidal roller bearings is selected on the same basis as
for other rolling bearings. The grease
should normally have a consistency of
2 or possibly 3 to the NLGI Scale and
should be rust inhibiting and of good
quality. The most important factors to be
considered when selecting a grease are
operating temperature
speed
vertical or horizontal shaft
80
2. Full complement bearings

All free space in the bearing should
be packed with grease.
Figure 22. How to grease CARB toroidal roller bearings
operating conditions such as

vibration
bearing type and size
bearing load
full complement or caged bearing
Fig 23
Care should be taken when using a grease gun operated by pressurized air.
The seals may be damaged by the pressure.
The viscosity of the base oil of a

grease partly determines the thickness
of the lubricant film in the rolling contact.
Grease nipple
Applying the grease

On delivery, CARBTM toroidal roller
bearings are coated with a rust inhibiting compound. There is no need to
remove this.
Generally a CARB bearing is first
greased when it has been mounted in
order to minimize the risk of contamination. Only in cases where it is impossible to apply the grease evenly to the
bearing should the grease be applied
before the bearing is mounted.
The application of grease to CARB
bearings is shown in figs 21 and 22 .

Example C 2220 K
The bearing has a bore diameter of d = 100 mm and is to rotate at 1000 r/min.The operating temperature varies between
50 and 70C (122 and 160F). What is the recommended relubrication interval?
A line from 1000 r/min on the x axis is followed until it meets the curve for 100 mm bore. A line at right angles is then
followed to the y axis where the value is found to be 2000 h. Thus the relubrication interval is 2000 operating hours.
Figure 24. Relubrication diagram
81
How to lubricate CARBTM toroidal

roller bearings
Since CARB bearings have one row
of rollers they can only be lubricated from
the side. The housing should be fitted
with a grease nipple at the side opposite
to the lock nut (if they are mounted on an
adapter sleeve). If they are to be frequently relubricated it is advisable for
the housing base to have a grease escape
hole at the side of the bearing opposite
to the grease nipple, see fig 23 .
Experience gained with all roller bearings indicates that a first relubrication
after a few days of operation is very
beneficial, and may even be a prerequisite if the expected relubrication interval
is to be attained when operating speeds
are high. For this first relubrication half
of the normal quantity recommended for
regular relubrication will be sufficient.
Full complement bearings cannot
retain grease as well as caged bearings
unless the speed is very low. Therefore,
full complement bearings should be relubricated much more often than caged
bearings, and continuous relubrication
may be required if speeds are high.
Relubrication
The length of time during which a grease
lubricated bearing will function satisfactorily without relubrication depends on
bearing size and speed and on the operating temperature etc., see fig 24 .
The grease used for relubrication
should be the same as that used for the
original greasing. Certain greases lose
their lubricating properties when mixed
with other greases. For this reason,
greases should never be mixed if it is
not known whether they are compatible.
Correct amount of grease
The following general rules apply for
initial lubrication:
CARBTM with cages should be filled
to approximately 50% except at low
speeds when they should be
completely filled
Full complement bearings should be
completely filled
Bearing housings should be partly
filled (30% to 50% of the free space)
82
Fig 25
Leave some space in the bearing housing for grease which is
thrown out of the bearing when starting up.
It is possible with most lithium base greases to fill more than 50% of
the free space in the housing.
Figure 25. Grease filling
Fig 26
Housing end cover

Rotating disc
Excess grease is
thrown from the
rotating disc into a
groove in the end
cover of the housing
Figure 26. Grease valve
Replenishment quantities should be

determined using the methods
described on page 75.
In non-vibrating applications it is
possible when using most lithium base
greases of the full fill type to apply
more grease to the housing than
recommended above, without any risk
of increasing the temperature, see
fig 25 . The increased grease quantity
provides greater protection against the
penetration of contaminants to the
bearing. When a bearing has to be

relubricated often, too much grease
may collect in the bearing housing.
This can be prevented by using a
grease valve, see fig 26 .

SKF Solid Oil The Unique

Lubrication Problem Solver
SKF Solid Oil is a mixture of lubricating
oil and polymers, thermally cured to a
rigid, sponge-like gel. This solid but
elastic mass completely fills the bearing
cavity but permits free rotation of the
rolling elements. While the bearing operates, a thin film of oil is continuously
released from the polymer sponge
through light rubbing contact only as
much as required. When operation
stops, excess oil is reabsorbed into the
SKF Solid Oil sponge, ready to be
released again when needed.
The unique characteristics of SKF
Solid Oil provide excellent oil lubrication without the problems normally
associated with keeping oil or grease in
contact with the rolling elements.
The thin film of oil released by the surface during rubbing contact with the
metal surfaces provides efficient lubrication. Theres no waste and no bleeding of excess lubricant from the bearing which could contaminate processes
or mechanisms. When operation stops,
any excess oil is reabsorbed.
With SKF Solid Oil, environmental
restrictions requiring users to account
for the greases that have been
consumed are more easily met.
SKF Solid Oil is most beneficial in
applications with
Low to moderate speeds

Moderate temperatures
Short service life due to:

Orbital centrifugal force throwing
grease out
High pressure liquids washing out
grease
Particle contamination where frequent regreasing cannot be done
Where relubrication is inconvenient
or in a hazardous area or environment.
In general, the advantages are most

cost beneficial in those applications
where the current bearing service life
is only a few months due to the causes
listed above. In these cases, it may
substantially increase the bearing service life (and reduce overall costs) even
though the (much longer) calculated
L10 life may still not
be achieved.
Consult with your SKF representative
especially if one or more of the following conditions apply:
Bearing service life with grease
is three years or longer (without
relubrication)
High moisture levels/condensation
is causing internal bearing corrosion
Speeds and/or ambient temperatures are high
Grease relubrication at proper intervals is easily done at little extra cost
(for example other parts of the
machine are regreased anyway)

Troubleshooting
Bearings that are not operating

properly usually exhibit identifiable
symptoms. This section presents some
useful hints so you can help prevent it
from happening again. The listed causes are the most common for the symptoms. Practical solutions are presented
wherever possible. Depending on the
degree of bearing damage, many misleading symptoms may be present. In
most cases these symptoms are the
result of secondary damage. To effectively troubleshoot bearing problems, it
is necessary to analyze the symptoms
according to those first observed in the
applications. Additional solutions
appear throughout this guide.
Symptoms of bearing trouble can

usually be reduced to a few classifications, listed in the chart below.

Insufficient grease in the housing.
Pack housing 1/3 to 1/2 with grease.
Housing is fully packed with

grease, or the oil level is too high.
This causes excessive lubricant
churning, high operating
temperature or oil leakage.
Purge bearing until the housing is 1/2

filled with grease. For oil lubricated
bearings, reduce the oil level to just
below the center of the lowest rolling
element.
Bearing has inadequate internal

clearance for conditions where
external heat is conducted through
the shaft. This causes the inner
ring to expand excessively.
Check whether overheated bearing

had clearance according to original
design specification. If so, then
change to bearing with increased
radial clearance, i.e. Normal to C3 or
C3 to C4. If not, order to specification.
Check with SKF if the bearing designation has become illegible.
Housing bore is out of round.

Housing is warped or distorted.
Supporting surface uneven.
Housing bore is undersized.
Check the housing bore for size and

roundness. If necessary remachine the
housing bore to the correct dimension.
Ensure that the supporting surface is flat
and that the shims cover the entire area
of the housing base. Housing bore is
undersized if non-locating bearing is
changed from cylindrical roller bearings
to deep groove ball bearings.
Contact (rubbing) seals are dried

out or have excessive spring
tension.
Replace contact (rubbing) seals with

seals having correct spring tension.

Rotating seals or flingers are rubbing against stationary parts.
Check the running clearance of the

rotating seal or flinger to eliminate
rubbing. Correct the alignment.

assembly. Retighten it sufficiently to
clamp the sleeve on to the shaft, but
be sure the bearing turns freely.
Use the clearance reduction method
for spherical roller bearings.
Unbalanced load.
Rebalance the machine.
Housing bore is too large.
Replace the housing with one having

the proper bore.

Bearing Failures and

Their Causes
Since the bearings of a machine are

among its most vital components, the
ability to learn as much as possible from
bearing failures is of utmost importance.
In designing the bearing mounting
the first step is to decide which type
and size of bearings should be used.
The choice is usually based on a
certain desired life for the bearing. The
next step is to design the application
with allowance for the prevailing service conditions. Unfortunately, too
many of the ball and roller bearings
installed never attain their calculated
life expectancy because of something
done or left undone in handling, installation and maintenance.
The calculated life expectancy of any
bearing is based on four assumptions:
1. Good lubrication in proper quantity
will always be available to the
bearing.
2. The bearing will be mounted without
damage.
3. Dimensions of parts related to the
bearing will be correct.
4. There are no defects inherent in the
bearing.
However, even when properly applied
and maintained, the bearing will be subjected to one cause of failure: fatigue of
the bearing material. Fatigue is the
result of shear stresses cyclically applied
immediately below the load carrying surfaces and is observed as spalling away
of surface metal, as seen in Figures 1
through 3 . Although spalling can be
readily observed, it is necessary to discern between spalling produced at the
normal end of a bearings useful life and
that triggered by causes found in the
three major classifications of premature
104
spalling: lubrication, mechanical damage, and material defects. Most bearing

failures can be attributed to one or more
of the following causes:
1. Defective bearing seats on shafts
and in housings.
2. Misalignment.
3. Faulty mounting practice.
4. Incorrect shaft and housing fits.
5. Inadequate lubrication.
6. Ineffective sealing.
7. Vibration while the bearing is not
rotating.
8. Passage of electric current through
the bearing.
9. Transportation, storage and handling.
Fig 1
Figure 1: Early fatigue spalling.
Fig 2
Spalling
The actual beginning of spalling (or
flaking) is invisible because its origin is
usually below the surface. The first visible sign is a small crack, which cannot
be seen nor can its effects be heard
while the machine operates. Figures
1 - 3 illustrate the progression of
spalling. The spot on the inner ring in
Figure 1 will gradually spread to the
condition seen in the ring of Figure 3
where spalling extends around the ring.
By the time spalling reaches proportions shown in Figure 2 , the condition
should make itself known by noise. If
the surrounding noise level is too great,
a bearings condition can be evaluated
by using a monitoring device. The time
between incipient and advanced
spalling varies with speed and load, but
in any event it is not a sudden condition
that will cause destructive failure within
a matter of hours. Complete bearing
failure and consequent damage to

machine parts is usually avoided

because of the noise the bearing will
produce and the erratic performance of
the shaft supported by the bearing.
The patterns of load zones and
their meaning in bearing damage
There are many ways bearings can be
damaged before and during mounting
and in service. The pattern or load
zone produced by the action of the
applied load and the rolling elements
on the internal surfaces of the bearing
is a clue to the cause of failure.
To benefit from a study of load
zones, one must be able to differentiate
between normal and abnormal
patterns. Figure 4 illustrates how an
applied load of constant direction is distributed among the rolling elements of
a bearing. The large arrow indicates
the applied load and the series of small
arrows show the share of this load that
is supported by each ball or roller in the
bearing. The rotating ring will have a
continuous 360 zone while the stationary ring will show a pattern of approximately 150. Figure 5 illustrates the
load zone found inside a ball bearing
when the inner ring rotates and the
load has a constant direction. Figure
6 illustrates the load zone resulting if
the outer ring rotates relative to a load
of constant direction, or where the inner
ring rotates and the load also rotates in
phase with the shaft. Figure 7 illustrates the pattern we find in a deep
groove ball bearing carrying an axial
load and Figure 8 shows pattern from
excessive axial load. This is one condition where the load zones are the full
360 on both rings. Combined thrust
and radial load will produce a pattern
somewhere between the two as
shown in Figure 9 . With combined
load, the loaded area of the inner ring
is slightly off-center and the length in
the outer is greater than that produced
by radial load, but not necessarily 360.
In a double-row bearing, a combined
load will produce load zones of unequal
length. The thrust carrying row will
have a longer stationary load zone.
If the thrust is of sufficient magnitude,
one row of rolling elements can be
completely unloaded.
When an interference fit is required,
it must be sufficient to prevent the
Fretting Corrosion Fretting corrosion is the mechanical wearing of

material which occurs from movement between two surfaces resulting
in oxidation or rust colored appearance. Usually found on the inner ring
bore or outer ring OD, and corresponds to load zone areas.
Spalling Spalling is the flaking away
of material which occurs after fatigue
of the rolling contact surfaces.
Smearing Smearing is the transfer
of material which occurs when one
hardened steel surface slides
against another without the benefit
of proper lubrication.
Fragment Denting Indentations
which result from the compression
of solid foreign particles trapped
between two rolling surfaces
under load.
Brinelling Brinells are indentations
which are caused by balls or rollers
Fig 4
in a bearing receiving an excessive

static load such as an impact/shock.
The grinding pattern is still visible in
the bottom of the dent when viewed
under a microscope.
False Brinelling False brinelling is
the localized wearing, arising when
rolling elements of the bearing move
back and forth against the raceway
surface, in a stationary bearing subjected to vibrations. The distinguishing feature of false brinelling from
true brinelling is the absence of
grinding marks at the bottom of the
indentations and/or rust colored
appearance at each location.

which occur due to improper set-up,
changing operating conditions or
environment.

inner ring from slipping on the shaft.

There are ISO/ABMA standards defining just what this fit should be for any
application and bearing type. A discussion of fitting practice appears on page
32. If the fit is too tight, the bearing can
be internally preloaded by compressing the rolling elements between the
two rings. In this case, the load zones
observed in the bearing indicate that
this is not a normal life failure as
Figure 10 shows. Both rings are loaded through 360, but the pattern will
usually be wider in the stationary ring
where the applied load is superimposed most on the internal preload.
Distorted or out-of-round housing
bores can radially pinch an outer ring.
Figure 11 illustrates the load zone
found in a bearing where the housing
bore was initially out-of-round or
became out-of-round by bolting the
housing to a concave or convex surface. In this case, the outer ring will
show two or more load zones depending on the type of distortion. Figure 12
is a picture of a bearing that had been
mounted in an out-of-round housing
that pinched the stationary outer ring.
This is a mirror view and shows both
sides of the outer ring raceway. Certain
types of bearings can tolerate only
very limited amounts of misalignment.
A deep groove ball bearing when misaligned will produce load zones not
parallel to the ball groove on one or
both rings depending on which ring is
misaligned. Figure 13 illustrates the
load zone when the outer ring is misaligned relative to the shaft. Figure 14

contact ball bearings are also sensitive

to misalignments but it is more difficult
to detect this condition from the load
zones. With this background of failure
patterns, the following failure descriptions should be meaningful.

illustrates the patterns that appear

when the inner ring is
misaligned relative to the housing.
Cylindrical roller bearings and angular
The calculated life expectancy of a roller

bearing presupposes that its comparatively thin rings will be fitted on shafts or
in housings that are as geometrically
true as modern machine shop techniques can produce. Unfortunately,
there are factors that produce shaft
seats and housing bores that are oversized or undersized, tapered or oval.
Figure 15 shows the condition
resulting when a bearing outer ring is
not fully supported. The impression

made on the bearing O.D. by a turning
chip left in the housing when the bearing was installed is seen in the left
hand view. This outer ring was subsequently supported by the chip alone
with the result that the entire load was
borne buy a small portion of the roller
path. The heavy specific load imposed
on that part of the ring immediately
over the turning chip produced the premature spalling seen in the illustration.
On both sides of the spalled area there
is a condition called fragment denting,
which occured when fragments from
the flaked surface were trapped
between the rollers and the raceway.
Fretting corrosion is the mechanical
wearing of surfaces other than
rolling contact, resulting from
movement which produces oxidation
or a rust colored appearance. When
the contact between a bearing and
its seat is not perfect, small movements can produce fretting corrosion
( figs 16 and 17 ). Fretting started
the crack which in turn triggered
the spalling.
Fretting corrosion can also be found
in applications such as railroad journal
boxes, where machining of the seats is
accurate but where, because of service
conditions, the seats deform under load.
This type of fretting corrosion on the outer
ring does not as a rule detrimentally affect
the life of the bearing. Shaft seats or journals as well as housing bores can yield
and produce fretting corrosion. Figure 18
illustrates damage by movement on a
shaft. The fretting corrosion covers a
large portion of the surface of both the
inner ring bore and the journal.
Bearing damage is also caused
by bearing seats that are concave,
convex, or tapered. On such a seat, a
bearing ring can not make contact
throughout its width. The ring therefore
deflects under the loads and fatigue
cracks commonly appear axially along
the raceway. Cracks caused by faulty
contact between a ring and its housing
are shown in Figure 19 .
2. Misalignment
Misalignment is a common source of
premature spalling. It occurs when an
107

Fig 18
Figure 18: Inner ring fractured due to excessive hoop stress which then caused fretting.

Figure 19: Cracks caused by faulty housing fit.
108
inner ring is seated against a shaft

shoulder that is not square with the
journal, or where a housing shoulder
is out-of-square with the housing bore.
Misalignment arises when two housings are not on the same center line.
A bearing ring can be misaligned even
though it is mounted on a tight fit but is
not pressed against its shoulder and so
left cocked on its seat. Bearing outer
rings in slip-fitted housings that are
cocked across their opposite corners
can also result in misalignment.
Some of the foregoing misalignment
faults are not cured by using self-aligning bearings. When the inner ring of a
self-aligning bearing is not square with
its shaft seat the inner ring is required
to wobble as it rotates. This results in
smearing and early fatigue. Where an
outer ring is cocked in its housing
across corners, a normally floating
outer ring can become axially held as
well as radially pinched in its housing.
The effect of a pinched outer ring was
shown in Figure 12 .
Ball thrust bearings suffer early
fatigue when mounted on supports that
are not perpendicular to the shaft axis,
because one short load zone of the
stationary ring carries all of the load.
When the rotating ring of the ball thrust
bearing is mounted on an out-of-square
shaft shoulder, the ring wobbles as it
rotates. The wobbling rotating ring
loads only a small portion of the stationary ring and causes early fatigue.
Figure 20 illustrates smearing within
a ball thrust bearing when either one of
two conditions occurs: first, the two
rings may not be parallel to each other
during operation, and secondly, the
load may not be sufficient at the operating speed to hold the bearing in its
designed operational attitude. If the
condition arises from non-parallelism
of the rings, the smearing seen in
Figure 20 occurs when the balls pass
from the loaded into the unloaded
zone. Secondly, if the rings are parallel
to each other but the speed is too high
in relation to the load, centrifugal force
causes each ball to spin instead of roll
at its contact with the raceway.
Smearing results. Smearing from
misalignment will be localized in one
zone of the stationary ring whereas
smearing from gyral forces will be
general around both rings.
Where two housings supporting the

Fig 21
same shaft do not have a common
centerline, only self-aligning ball or
roller bearings will be able to function
without inducing bending moments.
Cylindrical and tapered roller bearings
can accommodate only very small misalignments, even if crowned. If misalignment is appreciable, edge-loading
results, a source of premature fatigue.
Figure 21: Fatigue caused by edge-loading.
Edge-loading from misalignment was
responsible for the spalling in the bearFig 23
ing ring shown in Figure 21 . Advanced
spalling due to the same cause can be
seen on the inner ring and a roller of a
tapered roller bearing in Figure 22 .
3. Faulty mounting practice
Premature fatigue and other failures
are often due to abuse and neglect
before and during mounting. Prominent
among causes of early fatigue is the
presence of foreign matter in the bearing and its housing during operation.
The effect of trapping a chip between
the O.D. of the bearing and the bore of
the housing was shown in Figure 15 .
Figure 23 shows the inner ring of a
bearing where foreign matter has been
trapped between the raceway and the
rollers causing brinelled depressions.
This condition is called fragment denting. Each of these small dents is the
potential start of premature fatigue.
Small particles of foreign matter cause
wear, and when the original internal
geometry is changed, the calculated
life expectancy cannot be achieved.
Impact damage during handling or
mounting results in brinelled depressions that become the start of premature
fatigue. An example of this is shown in
Figure 24 , where the spacing of flaked
areas correspond to the distance
between the balls. The bearing has obviously suffered impact, and if it has been
installed, the fault should be apparent by
noise of vibration during operation.
Cylindrical roller bearings are easily
damaged in mounting, especially when
the rotating part with the inner ring
mounted on it is assembled into a
stationary part with its outer ring and
roller set assembled. Figure 25 shows
the inner ring of a cylindrical roller
bearing that has been damaged
because the rollers had to slide
forceably across the inner ring during

edge-loading.

assembly. Here again the spacing

of the damage marks on the inner ring
is the same as the distance between
rollers. The smeared streak in
Figure 25 is shown enlarged eight
times in Figure 26 .
If a bearing is subjected to loads
greater than those calculated to arrive
at the life expectancy, premature
fatigue results. Unanticipated or
parasitic loads can arise from faulty
mounting practice. An example of parasitic load can be found in the procedure of mounting the front wheel of an
automobile. If the locknut is not backed
off after the specific torque to seat the
bearing is applied, parasitic load may
result. Another example would be any
application where a bearing should be

pinching or cocking, it cannot move with
thermal expansion. Figure 27 shows
the effect of a parasitic thrust load. The
damaged area is not in the center of
the ball groove as it should be, but is
high on the shoulder of the groove. The
ring shown in Figure 28 is of a selfaligning ball bearing subjected to an
abnormally heavy thrust load. Usually
in such cases, evidence of axial
restraint will appear either as the
imprint of a housing shoulder on the

Interference between rotating and
stationary parts can result in
destructive cracks in the rotating bearing ring. The roller bearing inner ring

4. Damage due to improper fit

To decide if a bearing ring, either inner
or outer, should be mounted with an
interference or a slip fit on its shaft or in
its housing, it must be determined
whether the ring rotates or is stationary
with reference to the direction of the
load. The degree of tightness or looseness is governed by the magnitude of
the load and the speed. If a bearing ring
rotates relative to the load direction, an
interference fit is required. If the ring is
stationary with reference to the load, it
is fitted with some clearance and is
called a loose fit. The degree of fit is
governed by the concept that heavier
loads require greater interference.

The presence of shock or continuous
vibration calls for heavier interference fit
of the ring that rotates relative to the
load. Lightly loaded rings or rings with
considerable load but which operate at
extremely slow speeds that rotate relative to the load, may use a lighter fit or,
in some cases, a slip fit.
Consider two examples. In an automobile front wheel, the direction of the load
is constant the pavement is always
exerting an upward force on the wheel.
In this case, the outer rings or cups are
rotating and are press-fitted into the
wheel hub while the inner rings or cones
are stationary and are slip fitted on the
spindle. On the other hand, the bearings
of a conventional gear drive have their
outer rings stationary relative to the load
and are slip fitted but the inner rings
rotate relative to the load and are mounted with an interference fit. There are
some cases where it appears necessary
to mount both inner and outer rings of a
bearing with interference fits due to a
combination of stationary and rotating
loads or loads of undetermined amounts.
Such cases are designed with bearings
that can allow axial expansion at the
rollers rather than at a slip-fitted ring.
Such a mounting would consist of a cylindrical roller bearing or CARBTM at one end
of the shaft and a self-contained bearing
(deep groove ball or spherical roller bearing) at the other end.
Some examples of the effects of
incorrect fitting follow. Figure 30 shows
the bore surface of an inner ring that has
been damaged by relative movement
between it and its shaft while rotating
under a constant direction load. This
relative movement, called creep, can
result in the scoring shown in Figure 30 .
When a normally press fitted inner ring
does creep, the damage is not confined
to the bore surface but can have its effect
on the faces of the ring. Contact with
shaft shoulders or spacers can result in
either wear or severe rubbing cracks
( Figure 29 ). Wear between a press
fitted ring and its seat is an accumulative
damage. The initial wear accelerates the
creep which in turn produces more wear.
The ring loses adequate supports,
develops cracks, and the products of
wear become foreign matter to fragment
dent and internally wear the bearing.
Excessive fits also result in bearing

damage by internally preloading the
bearing as shown in Figure 10 or
inducing dangerously high hoop
stresses in the inner ring. Figure 32
illustrates an inner ring that cracked
because of excessive interference fit.
Housing fits that are unnecessarily
loose allow the outer ring to fret, creep
or even spin. Examples of fretting were
seen in Figures 16 and 17 . Lack of
support to the outer ring results from
excessive looseness as well as from
faulty housing bore contact. A cracked
outer ring was shown in Figure 19 .
Movement between surfaces can
cause the bright polished appearance
shown in Figure 31 .
5. Inadequate or unsuitable
lubricants
All bearings need lubricants for reliable
operation. The curvature of the contact
areas between rolling element and
raceway in normal operation results in
minute amounts of sliding motion in
addition to the rolling. Also, the cage
must be carried on either the rolling
elements or some surface of the bearing rings, or a combination of these. In
most types of roller bearings, there are
roller end faces which slide against a
flange or a cage. For these reasons,
adequate lubrication is even more
important at all times.
The term lubrication failure is too
often taken to imply that there was no oil
or grease in the bearing. While this does
happen occasionally, the failure analysis
is normally not that simple. Many cases
require a thorough examination of the
lubricants properties, the amount of
lubricant applied to the bearing and the
operating conditions. If any one of these
factors does not meet requirements, the
bearing can be said to have failed from
inadequate lubrication.
Viscosity of the oil either as oil itself
or as the oil in grease is the primary
characteristic of adequate lubrication.
The nature of the soap base of a grease
and its consistency, along with the viscosity of the oil, are the main quality points
when considering a grease. The quantity
of lubricant required in a bearing at any
one time is usually rather small, but the
supply must be constant and consistent.
Fig 32
Fig 33
Figure 32: Axial cracks caused by an

excessive interference fit.
If the lubricant is oil, and it is being used

for heat removal as well as for lubrication,
then a larger quantity is required.
An insufficient quantity of grease at
medium to high speeds generates a
temperature rise and usually a
whistling sound. An excessive amount
of grease results in churning, which
produces a temperature rise in all but
exceptionally slow speed bearings. A
lubricant that is adequate under normal conditions can be made inadequate when operational conditions produce abnormally high temperatures.
When lubrication is inadequate,
surface damage results. This damage
progresses rapidly to failures that are
often difficult to differentiate from a failure due to material fatigue or spalling.
Spalling will occur and often destroy
the evidence of inadequate lubrication.
However, if caught soon enough, indications that pinpoint the real cause of
the short bearing life can be found.
One form of surface damage is shown
in stages in Figures 33 a, b, c, and d.
The first visible indication of trouble is
usually a fine roughening or waviness
on the surface. Later, fine cracks develop, followed by spalling. If there is insufficient heat removal, the temperature
may rise high enough to cause discoloration and softening of the hardened
bearing steel. This happened to the
bearing shown in Figure 34 . In some
cases, inadequate lubrication initially
appears as a highly glazed or glossy
surface which, as damage progresses,
takes on a frosty appearance and eventually spalls. The highly glazed surface
is shown in Figure 35 .
In the frosty stage, it is sometimes
possible to feel the nap of fine slivers
of metal pulled from the bearing race-
Figure 33: a,b,c,d. Progressive stages of

spalling caused by inadequate lubrication.
way by the rolling element. The frosted

area will feel smooth in one direction,
but have distinct roughness in the
other. As metal is pulled from the surface, pits appear and frosting
advances to pulling (Figure 36 ).
Another form of surface damage is
called smearing. It appears when two
surfaces slide and the lubricant cannot
prevent adhesion of the surfaces.

Figure 39: Smearing on cage pockets

caused by ineffective lubrication.
112
Minute pieces of one surface are torn

away and rewelded to either surface.
Examples are shown in Figures 37
through 40 . A peculiar type of smearing occurs when rolling elements slide
as they pass from the unloaded to the
loaded zone. Figure 41 illustrates the
patches of skid smearing, one in each
row. Insufficient load, a lubricant that is

too stiff, excessive clearance and insufficient lubrication in load zone, can all
contribute to smearing.
Wear of the bearing as a whole also
results from inadequate lubrication.
The areas subject to sliding friction
such as locating flanges and the ends
of rollers in a roller bearing are the first
parts to be affected. Figures 43 and
44 illustrate the damage done and the
extent of the wear.
Figure 42 shows a large bore
tapered roller bearing failure due to an
insufficient amount of lubricant resulting from too low a flow rate in a circulating oil system. The area between
the guide flange and the large end of
the roller is subject to sliding motion.
Where high speeds are involved, inertial forces and lubrication become especially important. Figure 45 shows an
advanced case of damage from high
speed with inadequate lubrication. Inertia
forces acting on the rolling elements at
high speed and with sudden starting or
stopping can result in high forces
between rolling elements and the cage.

outer raceway.

Figure 43: Grooves caused by wear due to

Fig 45
Figure 46: Advanced abrasive wear.
Figure 45: Broken cage caused by

ineffective lubrication.
This area is more difficult to lubricate

than those areas of rolling motion,
accounting for the discoloration starting at the flange contact area. The
heat generated at the flange caused
the discoloration of the bearing and
resulted in some of the rollers being
welded to the guide flange.
To avoid lubrication-related surface
failures, be aware of the following:
a) Sufficient elastohydrodynamic
film prevents surface distress
(glazing, frosting).
b) Proper lubrication guards against
smearing and sliding surface wear.
c) Clean lubricants prevent significant wear of rolling surfaces.
d) Sufficient lubricant flow keeps

bearing from overheating.
As long as the rolling element and
raceway surfaces in rolling contact
can be separated by an elastohydro
dynamic oil film, surface distress is
avoided. The continuous presence of
the film depends on contact area, the
load it carries, the speed, operating
temperature, the surface finish, and the
oil viscosity.
In unusual applications, when
viscosity selection must be governed
by the sliding areas, experience
has proven that the viscosity chosen
is capable of maintaining the necessary elastohydrodynamic film in the
rolling contacts.
SKF research has developed a procedure for determining the required oil viscosity when the bearing size, load, and
speed are known and operating temperature can be reasonably estimated. Refer
to the lubrication section of this catalog.
6. Ineffective Sealing
Although foreign matter can enter a
bearing during mounting, its most
direct and sustained area of entry can
be the housing seals. The result of
gross change in bearing internal
geometry has been pointed out.
Bearing manufacturers realize the
damaging effect of dirt and take
extreme precautions to deliver clean
bearings. Not only assembled bearings, but also parts in process are
washed and cleaned. Freedom from
abrasive matter is so important that
some bearings are assembled in air
conditioned white rooms. Dramatic
examples of combined abrasive particle and corrosive wear, both due to the
defective sealing, are shown in
Figures 46 and 47 . Figure 48 shows
a deep groove ball bearing which has
operated with abrasive in it. The balls
have worn to such an extent that they
no longer support the cage and the
latter has been rubbing on the lands
of both rings.
In addition to abrasive matter,
corrosive agents should be excluded
from bearings. Water, acid and those
agents that deteriorate lubricants result
in corrosion. Figure 49 illustrates how
moisture in the lubricant can rust the
113
Fig 47
Fig 48
end of a roller. The corroded areas on

the rollers of Figure 50 occurred while
the bearing was not rotating. Acids
forming in the lubricant with water present etches the surface as shown in
Figure 51 . The streaks of corrosion
seen in Figure 52 are caused by water
in the lubricant as the bearing rotates.

Rolling bearings exposed to vibration

while the shafts are not rotating are subject to damage called false brinelling.
The evidence can be either bright polished depressions or the characteristic
red-brown stain of fretting. The oxidation
rate at the point of contact determines
the appearance. Variation in the vibration load causes minute sliding in the
area of contact between rolling elements and raceways. Small particles of
material are set free from the contact
surfaces and may or may not be immediately oxidized. The debris thus formed
acts as a lapping agent and accelerates
the wear.
Another identification of damage
of this type is the spacing of the marks
on the raceway. The spacing of false
brinelling will be equal to the distance
between the rolling elements, just as it
is in some types of true brinelling. If
the bearing has rotated slightly
between periods of vibration, more
than one pattern of false brinelling
damage may be seen.
A type of false brinelling with
abrasive present is seen in Figure 53 .
There was no rotation between the two
rings of the bearing for considerable
periods of time, but while they were
static they were subject to severe
vibration. False brinelling developed
with a production of iron oxide, which
in turn acted as a lapping compound.
A combination of vibration and
abrasion in a rotating bearing is seen in
the wavy pattern shown in Figure 54 .
When these waves are more closely
spaced, the pattern is called fluting
and appears similar to cases shown in
the section under Passage of Electric
Current. Metallurgical examination is
often necessary to distinguish between
fluting caused solely by abrasive and
vibration or by vibration and passage
of electric current.

vibration in presence of abrasive dirt while

Fig 58
true brinelling, there is a dent produced by plastic flow of the raceway

material. The grinding marks are not
noticeably disturbed and can be seen
over the whole dented area. However,
false brinelling, Figure 56 , does not
involve flow of metal but rather a
removal of surface metal by attrition.
Notice that the grinding marks are
removed. To further understand false
brinelling, which is very similar to fretting corrosion, one should remember
that a rolling element squeezes the
lubricant out of its contact with the
raceway, and the angular motion from
vibration is so small that the lubricant
is not replenished at the contact. Metal
to metal contact becomes inevitable,
resulting in submicroscopic particles
being torn from high points. If protection by lubricant is absent, these
minute particles oxidize and account
for the red-brown color usually associated with fretting. If there is a slower
oxidation rate, the false brinelling
depression can remain bright, thereby
adding to the difficulty in distinguishing
true from false brinelling.
8. Passage of Electric Current
Through the Bearing
Figure 55: Example of true brinelling 100X

Fig 57
Figure 58: Electric pitting on surface of

spherical outer raceway caused by passage
of relatively large current.
Figure 57: Electric pitting on surface of

spherical roller caused by passage of
relatively large current.
Since false brinelling is a true wear

condition, such damage can be
observed even though the forces
applied during vibration are much
smaller than those corresponding to
the static carrying capacity of the
bearing. However, the damage is more
extensive as the contact load on the
rolling elements increases.
False brinelling occurs most

frequently during transportation of
assembled machines. Vibration fed
through a foundation can generate
false brinelling of a shaft that is not
rotating. False brinelling during
transportation can always be minimized
and usually eliminated by temporary
structures that will prevent any rotation
or axial movement of the shaft.
It is necessary to distinguish
between false and true brinelling.
Figures 55 and 56 are 100X photomicrographs of true and false brinelling in
a raceway respectively. In Figure 55 ,
In certain electrical machinery

applications, there is the possibility that
electric current will pass through a
bearing. Current that seeks ground
through the bearing can be generated
from stray magnetic fields in the
machinery. It can also be caused by
welding on some part of the machine with
the ground attached so that the circuit is
required to pass through the bearing.
An electric current can be generated
by static electricity, emanating from
charged belts or from manufacturing processes involving leather, paper, cloth or
rubber. This current can pass through the
shaft to the bearing and then to ground.
When the current is broken at the contact
surfaces between rolling elements and
raceways, arcing results. This produces
very localized high temperature and consequent damage. The overall damage to
the bearing is in proportion to the number
and size of individual damage points.
Figure 57 shows a series of electrical pits in a roller; Figure 58 shows the
same type of damage in an enlarged
115
view of a spherical roller bearing raceway. The pit was formed each time the
current broke in its passage between
raceway and roller.
Another type of electrical damage
occurs when current passes during
prolonged periods and the number
of individual pits accumulate drastically. The result is fluting, shown in
Figures 59 through 63 . This condition
can occur in ball or roller bearings.
Flutes can develop considerable depth,
producing noise and vibration during
operation and eventual fatigue from
local overstressing. The formation
of flutes rather than a homogeneous
dispersion of pits cannot be clearly
explained. It is possible that it is related to initial synchronization of shocks
or vibrations and the breaking of the
current. Once the fluting has started,
it is probably a self-perpetuating
phenomenon.
Individual electric marks, pits, and
fluting have been produced in test
bearings. Both alternating and direct
current can cause the damage.
Amperage rather than voltage governs
the amount of damage. When a
bearing is under radial load, greater
internal looseness in the bearing
appears to result in greater electrical
damage for the same current. In a double-row bearing loaded in thrust, little if
any damage results in the thrust carrying row, although the opposite row may
be damaged.

roller caused by prolonged passage of
