Fit and forget

Wherever very high or very low environmental temperatures are a limiting factor, a special bearing is normally needed. The application requirements low friction and high radial loads define the basic design concept as a deep groove ball bearing. If the application is demanding and reliable operation under all temperature conditions including extreme operating temperatures with low operation costs is mandatory, an SKF deep groove ball bearing for extreme temperatures is definitely needed.
G

Extended service life SKF extreme temperature bearings are designed to give extended service lives with a minimum of maintenance. SKF is the only bearing manufacturer using graphite cage technology, thus eliminating the need for any maintenance or service whatsoever. Very wide operating temperature range Special lubricants make it possible to use some of the bearings down to 150 C and up to a maximum operating temperature of +350 C.

Doubly shielded The extreme temperature bearings can be fitted with protective shields, one on each side, to prevent ingress of solid contaminants and to keep the lubricant in place. Environmentally safe The SKF extreme temperature bearings use environmentally friendly materials and do not emit any hazardous products provided that their maximum allowable operating temperature is not exceeded.

Comprehensive, unrivalled range

The range of SKF extreme temperature bearings covers deep groove ball bearings in the 60, 62 and 63 series currently in demand, in sizes from 10 to 100 mm bore diameter. Taking availability into account, this constitutes the most complete range on the market. All bearings are available with cylindrical bore to suit most types of mounting methods. SKF extreme temperature bearings are available in five different final variants: 1. 2Z/VA228 design for top requirements This bearing variant is the top-of-theline among SKF products for extreme temperatures. It is fitted with the recently developed coronet cage of pure graphite which makes the bearings suitable for new applications. The cage can support appreciably heavier loads than the graphite segment cage. This means that in practice these bearings are suitable for applications where the operating temperature is in the range 150 to +350 C and the speeds are up to 100 r/min. The coronet cage is an SKF development and only available in SKF bearings. It not only separates the balls but also presents a unique lubrication system. The minute quantities of graphite powder released by the cage during rotation provide adequate lubrication for the bearing. The bearing is also equipped with two shields which prevent particulate contamination from entering the bearing and also guide the cage axially. All surfaces of the bearing, including the shields, are manganese phosphated to protect against corrosion and also to enhance running properties. The radial internal clearance is four times C5. Another advantage of these bearings is that they are environmentally friendly. Even at maximum temperatures, no 4 dangerous gases or vapours are emitted. 2. 2Z/VA208 design for high demands These bearings differ from the VA228 design only in their cage. Instead of the coronet cage, they have a segmented cage of graphite. The segments separate the balls and also provide the necessary lubrication. The bearings are fitted with two shields which axially guide the cage segments and prevent the entry of solid contaminants. Because of the segmented cage, these bearings are primarily intended for slowly rotating applications. 3. VA201 design for the most common applications These bearings are not sealed and have a pressed steel cage. The radial internal clearance is four times C5. All bearing surfaces are manganese phosphated. This protects the bearing from corrosion, enhances running properties and provides good adhesion for the lubricant. The extreme temperature bearings of the VA201 design are lubricated with a polyalkylene glycol/graphite mixture which can be used at temperatures between 40 and +250 C. At temperatures above +200 C, dry lubrication pertains. 4. 2Z/VA201 design added protection with shields These bearings are of the same design as the VA201 bearings but have protective shields at both sides to prevent the ingress of solid contaminants. Additionally, these bearings have twice the amount of the polyalkylene glycol/graphite mixture as the open bearings. General rule The SKF extreme temperature bearings are primarily intended for shaft speeds up to approximately 100 r/min. For applications with higher speeds or different operating conditions, please contact SKF for advice and support.

5. 2Z/VA216 for aggressive environments For bearing arrangements where the environment is particularly aggressive, bearings of the 2Z/VA216 design are recommended. These bearings are charged with a creamy-white multipurpose grease based on a fluorinated polyether oil mixed with PTFE for operating temperatures from 40 to +230 C. Otherwise the bearings have the same design as 2Z/VA201. For normal cases, the lubricant fill is between 25 and 35 % of the free space in the bearing. On request other filling grades can be supplied (expressed as % of the free space in the bearing): 10 to 15 % (suffix A) 45 to 60 % (suffix B) 70 to 100 % (suffix C)

Customized for special purposes

SKF extreme temperature bearings are designed for the most common extreme temperature applications, e.g. kiln truck wheels, support rollers and general wheel arangements. Specific customer requirements are satisfied by special order bearings. SKF can supply extreme temperature bearings which can replace the existing bearing design or which are the direct result of a joint design cooperation with the customer. SKF has a long tradition of supplying special feature bearings for especially demanding applications. Y-bearing units for extreme temperatures The SKF product range also includes Y-bearing units for operating temperature range 150 to +350 C. They are available as Y-bearing plummer block units, Y-bearing flanged units with square housing, and Y-bearing flanged units with oval housing

Accessories for optimum performance

The boundary dimensions of the SKF extreme temperature deep groove ball bearings of the 60, 62 and 63 series are in accordance with the ISO Dimension Plan. The bearings of series 62 can be used directly in SKF housings of TVN design. These housings are available in five sizes for shafts of 35 up to 65 mm diameter. In order to further protect the bearing, a heat resistant seal strip made of aluminum boron silicate can be used to prevent the ingress of contaminants from the surrounding environment.

The design makes all the difference

The various designs of SKF extreme temperature bearings are made with the customers needs and requirements in mind
G G G G G

Extended service life Different lubrication systems Customised designs Different seal arrangements Operational cost savings

The philosophy behind SKF extreme temperature bearings is based on continuous development aiming at rugged and reliable bearings which can be used even in the most demanding applications. SKF extreme temperature bearings can often be used instead of expensive special bearings or intricate, extremely costly lubricants offered on the market. The SKF extreme temperature bearings with the suffix VA201 offer the customer extended service life since the amount of lubricating paste is large, thus ensuring a good supply and an adequate reservoir of lubricant. When the bearing is fitted with two protective shields, 2Z/VA201, the amount of lubricant is even larger. This together with the shields will further prolong the service life. The shields also serve to retain the lubricant inside the bearing.

SKF extreme temperature bearings with suffix 2Z/VA208 have a segmented cage made from special graphite. The bearing also has two shields which will protect the bearing from particulate contamination as well as keep the graphite powder inside the bearing. Powdered graphite is slowly transferred from the cage segments to the bearing surfaces ensuring constant lubrication and long service life. No maintenance is required. SKF extreme temperature bearings of the 2Z/VA228 design represent the latest development. They are fitted with a one-piece graphite cage instead of the segmented cage. Tests, both at low and high speeds (up to the maximum recommended) have shown extremely little wear. The service life has been appreciably extended as the cage has an optimum fit round the balls and thus has a low specific load. The design has very high performance and offers the longest service lives of all the present extreme temperature designs.

How to decrease life-cycle costs

Long service life, high reliability and minimal maintenance requirements have made SKF extreme temperature deep groove ball bearings the obvious choice in all industrial segments where temperatures are very high or very low and speeds low and where high running accuracy is not required. The key segments with their typical requirements are listed below, but applications can be found in many other industries where bearings are subjected to extreme temperatures. One of the main reasons for SKFs dominant market position for extreme temperature bearings is the customers ever increasing awareness about what bearing quality means to their machine life cycle cost.

Application examples
Foil calenders The calenders were originally fitted with bearings which required frequent relubrication with expensive high temperature grease. Three have now been converted to SKF deep groove ball bearings of the VA228 design which require no maintenance. As a result, maintenance costs have been reduced by more than 1,2 million SEK per annum. In addition, the foil produced is much cleaner (no lubricant leakage to soil it). Kiln trucks The wheels are fitted with SKF deep groove ball bearings of the 2Z/VA208 design. Normal operating temperature is +200 to +230 C. The original bearing design lasted between 3 months and one year but with the 2Z/VA208 design the service life could be extended to more than 4 years. Service lives of up to more than 12 years have been recorded in other similar applications. This means much lower bearing costs and also no wheel repairs were required.

Tunnel furnace The rollers operate at about +350 C and carry the material to be heat treated. During a refit the original bearings, which had a service life of approximately 3 to 6 months, were replaced by SKF deep groove ball bearings of the 2Z/VA208 design, thus extending the service life to more than 7 years. Overall operating costs have been considerably reduced as a result and it has also been possible to dispense with the original water cooling of the housings.

Wafer biscuits baking oven The traditional wheel bearing design used standard deep grove ball bearings lubricated with a very expensive high temperature grease. The operating conditions with temperatures up to +240 C warranted relubrication at regular intevals and frequent bearing replacement due to clogged/dried out grease plus corrosion. The normal service life was around 2 years. Extreme temperature bearings 2Z/VA208 were installed instead allowing a four-year period of maintenance-free operation.

Chain grate furnace 2 500 special SKF support rollers based on double row deep groove ball bearings fitted with graphite segment cages, design VA208, are used per furnace at operating temperatures up to +350 C. The original design wore out rapidly and increased the running friction dramatically. All rollers had to be changed within a year. The new SKF support rollers kept a very low coefficient of friction and lasted up to 4 years without maintenance.

Selection of bearing size

Influence of operating temperature At high temperatures, the load carrying capacity of the bearings is reduced. This is taken into consideration by multiplying the basic static load rating C0 by a temperature factor fT. Values of this factor at different temperatures will be found in table 1 . Selection of bearing size based on the static load rating The size of bearing required for a given application is selected with reference to the loads which are to be expected and the load carrying capacity of the bearing. Bearings for extreme temperatures rotate at very slow speeds. Therefore, the requisite size is determined based on the basic static load rating C0. The requisite basic static load rating can be determined using P0 C0 = 2 fT where C0 = requisite basic static load rating of the bearing, N P0 = equivalent static bearing load, N fT = temperature factor ( table 1 ) The equivalent static bearing load is obtained from P0 = 0,6 Fr + 0,5 Fa where P0 = equivalent static bearing load, N Fr = actual radial bearing load, N Fa = actual axial bearing load, N When calculating P0, the maximum load which can occur should be used and its radial and axial components inserted in the equation above. If P0 < Fr, then P0 = Fr should be used. Using the requisite basic static load rating calculated from above, a suitable 10 bearing can be selected from the bearing tables (from page 16 onwards). If the requisite basic static load rating lies between two values in the bearing table the bearing with the higher rating should be chosen. Selection of bearing size for kiln truck wheels Bearing size is selected on the basis of the basic static load rating as kiln trucks operate at very slow speeds. For free wheels with two bearings of equal size ( fig 3 , page 13) the requisite basic static load rating for one bearing is obtained from the equation G0 C0 = 1,5 fT where C0 = requisite basic static load rating of a single bearing, N G0 = radial load acting on one wheel, N fT = temperature factor ( table 1 ) Table 2 applies to arrangements comprising two bearings of the same size mounted symmetrically with respect to the plane of the load and gives the requisite basic static load rating depending on wheel load and temperature, calculated using the above equation, for one bearing. For a free-wheel arrangement with bearings of different size ( fig 4 , page 13) the requisite value of C0 for the inboard (tyre rim) side is obtained from G0 C0 = 2 fT and for the outboard (cover) side, from G0 C0 = fT The requisite basic static load rating of bearings in axleboxes inside or outside the wheel ( fig 5 , page 13) is obtained using the equation G0 C0 = 2 fT Using the values of the requisite basic static load rating C0 calculated using the above equations, or obtained from table 2 , suitable bearings of series 60, 62 or 63 can be selected from the bearing tables (from page 16 onwards). If the requisite basic static load rating lies between two values in the bearing table, the bearing with the higher load rating should always be chosen. The diameter of the journal must always be checked with regard to its strength.

Operating conditions: Speed: Intermittent, approximately 2 r/min Load per wheel: 15 000 N Temperature: 250 C The requisite load rating C0 is obtained from G0 C0 = 1,5 fT so that C0 = 1,5 15 000/0,9 C0 = 25 000 N Thus a bearing having a basic static load rating C0 of at least 25 000 N is required, for example, bearing 6211-2Z/VA208, which has a C0 value = 29 000 N.

Kiln truck wheel bearing arrangement design

Traditionally, the wheel arrangements of conventional two-axled kiln trucks ( fig 1 ) are usually designed as free-wheel (independent) arrangements. Two deep groove ball bearings are mounted directly on the journal. This design permits simple mounting and dismounting as well as easy inspection of the bearings. Deformation of the axle or bogie under load or as a result of temperature changes will not have a detrimental effect on bearing performance. The hub bore is sealed at the outboard position by a cover and at the inboard position by a seal. Labyrinth seals have proved to be the most suitable; felt seals are unable to withstand the high temperatures. The labyrinth seal must have a relatively large radial clearance to match the large internal clearance of the bearing. Suitable hub bore and journal tolerances are given in table 1 . To avoid excessive tilting forces which can occur, for example, if forces act on the wheel at right angles to the direction of travel, a ratio of 4:1 is recommended for the wheel diameter D to the distance between bearings a ( fig 2 ). The free-wheel design incorporating two bearings of equal size ( fig 3 ) is generally used for kiln trucks with wheel loads of up to 30 kN. For heavier loads and wide gauge track a design with bearings of different size should be used, as the inboard bearing is more heavily loaded than that at the outboard position ( fig 4 ). In addition to the free-wheel arrangement, kiln trucks are also fitted with axleboxes either inside or outside the wheel ( fig 5 ). For both designs housings are required which can be bolted to the frame of the kiln truck. Two bearings are needed for each wheel set: one locating and one nonlocating. The axleboxes must be carefully mounted so that the bearings do not become preloaded, as this would make operation difficult and would cause premature failure. Because of the changes in axle length which result from temperature variation, it is necessary to ensure that axial displacement is possible in both directions, and that the amount of possible displacement is equal at both sides of the non-locating bearing. SKF TVN housings are suitable as housings for these wheel bearing arrangements. When mounting outside the wheel the A type (for shaft ends, with cover) should be used. The B type (for through shafts) should be used for mounting inside the wheel. The standard felt strips of these bearings should be replaced by special strips (designated FSB ..) of high temperature material (graphited aluminium boron silicate). Suitable hub bore and journal tolerances are given in table 1 .

Mounting, dismounting and maintenance

Mounting
The SKF deep groove ball bearings for extreme temperatures are mounted with clearance or interference fits on the shaft and in the housing. A satisfactory radial location and an adequate support can generally only be obtained when one of the rings (depending on loading situation) is mounted with an appropriate degree of interference ( Kiln truck wheel bearing arrangement design, page 12). When mounting the bearings, the ring which is to have the tighter interference fit is generally mounted first. The force needed to mount a bearing increases considerably with increasing bearing size. Therefore, it is not generally possible to press large bearings on to a cylindrical shaft or into a housing in the cold state. In this case, depending on whether the interference is between bearing and shaft or bearing and housing, the bearing or the housing should be heated before mounting. To mount with an interference fit on a shaft the bearing should be heated to about 80 to 90 C above the temperature of the shaft. This can be done by means of an SKF induction heater or in a heating cabinet. Mounting bearings by cooling the shaft is not recommended. The risk of condensation causing corrosion is evident. on no account be applied through the rolling elements. Extreme temperature bearings can be removed using mechanical or hydraulic withdrawal tools or a press. For detailed information about suitable mounting and dismounting tools, please refer to the SKF catalogue The Tools for Trouble-Free Operation. The same dry lubricant should also be applied thinly to all other shiny components of the bearing arrangement to protect them from corrosion.

Maintenance
SKF extreme temperature bearings are largely maintenance free. The bearings of VA201 design should however be inspected after some six months of operation. It is sufficient to open the housing or to withdraw the wheel with bearings from the journal and to remove contaminants using bellows. If pressurised air is used the air stream should be weak and the air dry. Other inspection operations are generally only necessary once a year or once every second year depending on the operating conditions. If, however, the bearings do not rotate easily or have become noisy the bearing arrangement in question should be inspected immediately. In this case the bearings must be dismounted and after cleaning they should be checked to see whether they are suitable for further use. If there is no longer a film of dry lubricant on the raceways (indicated by a bright metallic shiny track) the bearings should be relubricated using the original lubricant. The lubricant should be applied to the bearing raceways and the rings turned so that it is evenly distributed in the bearing. It should be remembered that dry lubricants do not adhere so well to the relatively smooth raceway surfaces of a used bearing. If there is damage to the raceways, rolling elements or cage or if there are signs of wear or corrosion it is safer to replace the bearings.

Dismounting

Dimensions The boundary dimensions of SKF deep groove ball bearings for extreme temperatures are in accordance with those of the Dimension Series 10, 02 and 03 as specified in ISO 15:1998. Tolerances The deep groove ball bearings for extreme temperatures are produced with normal tolerances to ISO 492:1994. Because of the special surface treatment which they undergo to protect against corrosion and enhance running properties there may be some slight deviations from the tolerances specified in the above standard. However, this has no influence on their arrangement or performance. Internal clearance The SKF deep groove ball bearings for extreme temperatures are produced with extra large radial internal clearance. The actual values are given in the bearing tables on pages 16 to 21. The clearance corresponds to about four times the standardised C5 clearance (4 C5). Misalignment Because of the large clearance, these special deep groove ball bearings can tolerate angular misalignments of the inner ring relative to the outer ring of between 20 and 30 minutes of arc. This is only applicable when the bearings operate at low speeds as the rolling conditions in the bearings are unfavourable under such misalignment. Speeds SKF deep groove ball bearings for extreme temperatures were developed for bearing arrangements where they would rotate slowly, i.e. a few revolutions per minute. Our experience is, however, that it is possible to run the bearings at speeds up to 100 r/min. It 15 is advisable to contact SKF application engineering service if the bearings are to be used at higher speeds than those for which they were designed. Design of associated components It is advisable to provide some support to the shields of bearings of the 2Z/VA228 and 2Z/VA208 designs, because of the nature of the graphite cage. Therefore it is recommended that the housing shoulder should have a diameter which is approximately equal to or slightly smaller than dimension D2 ( bearing tables). If this is not possible then a loose washer having such a bore diameter should be positioned between the bearing and the housing shoulder ( fig 1 ). For all other bearing designs the shoulder should have a bore diameter not greater than Da max. Enquiries When enquiring about the bearings for extreme temperatures it is recommended that, in addition to the number of bearings required, details regarding the application and operating conditions be given, for example: 1. Operating temperature 2. Bearing or wheel load 3. Speed 4. Shaft diameter 5. Wheel diameter 6. Axlebox design 7. Type of service, e.g. pottery kiln 8. Special conditions, e.g. very dusty environment

The SKF group a worldwide corporation

SKF is an international industrial Group operating in some 130 countries and is world leader in bearings. The company was founded in 1907 following the invention of the self-aligning ball bearing by Sven Wingquist and, after only a few years, SKF began to expand all over the world. Today, SKF has some 45 000 employees and around 80 manufacturing facilities spread throughout the world. An international sales network includes a large number of sales companies and some 7 000 distributors and retailers. Worldwide availability of SKF products is supported by a comprehensive technical advisory service. The key to success has been a consistent emphasis on maintaining the highest quality of its products and services. Continuous investment in research and development has also played a vital role, resulting in many examples of epoch-making innovations. The business of the Group consists of bearings, seals, special steel and a comprehensive range of other hightech industrial components. The experience gained in these various fields provides SKF with the essential knowledge and expertise required in order to provide the customers with the most advanced engineering products and efficient service.

22

The SKF Group is the first major bearing manufacturer to have been granted approval according to ISO 14001, the international standard for environmental management systems. The certificate is the most comprehensive of its kind and covers more than 60 SKF production units in 17 countries.

The SKF Engineering & Research Centre is situated just outside Utrecht in The Netherlands. In an area of 17 000 square metres (185 000 sq.ft) some 150 scientists, engineers and support staff are engaged in the further improvement of bearing performance. They are developing technologies aimed at achieving better materials, better designs, better lubricants and better seals together leading to an even better understanding of the operation of a bearing in its application. This is also where the SKF Life Theory was evolved, enabling the design of bearings which are even more compact and offer even longer operational life.

SKF has developed the Channel concept in factories all over the world. This drastically reduces the lead time from raw material to end product as well as work in progress and finished goods in stock. The concept enables faster and smoother information flow, eliminates bottlenecks and bypasses unnecessary steps in production. The Channel team members have the knowledge and commitment needed to share the responsibility for fulfilling objectives in areas such as quality, delivery time, production flow etc.

SKF manufactures ball bearings, roller bearings and plain bearings. The smallest are just a few millimetres (a fraction of an inch) in diameter, the largest several metres. SKF also manufactures bearing and oil seals which prevent dirt from entering and lubricant from leaking out. SKFs subsidiaries CR and RFT S.p.A. are among the worlds largest producers of seals.
