    This document discusses the use of a split spherical roller bearing in the primary air fan of a pulp and paper plant in Australia. The fan is critical to the plant's operations. The original bearing required dismantling the fan for replacement, which would cause an lengthy shutdown. To reduce the replacement time, a split bearing was installed, which allowed replacement without disassembling the fan. This reduced the replacement time from 36 hours to 6 hours, saving costs and reducing the plant's downtime. The customer was pleased with the reduced replacement time provided by the split bearing.

    FAG split spherical roller bearing 222SM110-TVPA. (from 36 hrs to 6 hrs)
    Split bearings can be installed in existing arrangements • Reduce manpower requirements
    without removing any of the existing components. (2 people instead of 3)
    The only work required is to open the housing and after • No need for use of a crane
    jacking up the shaft, to remove the load from the bearing, • No need for re-alignment
    cutting out the old bearing and installing the new split • No need for special tools
