8. MISCELLANEOUS INSTRUCTIONS
Remove all unused pipe plugs, apply sealant and replace. Tighten
securely. Install oil sight gauge in specified location.
Note: Each housing base has two pre-drilled holes for
doweling housing to pedestal.
9. LUBRICATION AND OPERATION
Fill pillow block with the amount of oil specified in Table 8.
Table 8 - Housing Oil Sump Capacity
Housing Size Oil Capacity in Gallons (Quarts)
3 1-1/4 (5)
4 1-7/8 (7-1/2)
5 2-1/2 (10)
6 3-1/4 (13)
8 5-1/8 (20-1/2)
10 7-3/4 (31)
Drain, flush and refill with oil after 2 or 3 weeks of operation
and approximately every 3 months thereafter for 24 hours-a-
day service and every 6 months for 8-hours-a-day service.
Periodically check oil visually for contamination between oil
changes.
CAUTION: If heaters are used, they must be turned OFF
when oil is removed from the bearing. Failure to observe this
precaution could result in equipment damage.
NOTE: Maintain oil level at center of oil sight gauge when bearing
is operating. After placing bearing into operation, remove the
inspection cover(s) and make sure the oil rings are rotating and
bringing oil into the journal. Since the satisfactory operation of
the pillow block depends almost entirely on the oil film being
maintained between the shaft and bearing liner surface, the
use of high quality oil from a reputable manufacturer cannot be
overemphasized. Use a high grade straight mineral oil with rust
and oxidation (R & O) inhibitors and antifoam agents. Oil viscosity
is determined by the equipment manufacturer and normally
specified on the construction drawing or in the operating manual,
otherwise, see Table 8. Information regarding qualities and
properties of specific oils should be referred to the lubricant
manufacturer.
Oil film temperature in liner during operation should
not exceed 180ºF. If in doubt, consult equipment
manufacturer.
Use high grade, high quality, well refined petroleum
oils of the straight mineral type, with rust and
oxidation inhibiter and antifoam agent only.
NOTE: Bearings should NOT be stored outdoors before
installation. For extended or outdoor storage, contact
equipment manufacturer for special precautions against
corrosion.
NOTE: Bearings (and shafts) allowed to set idle for extended
periods after being run MUST be protected against corrosion.
If the unit cannot be run for several minutes at least once a
week, consult equipment manufacturer for special lubrication
instructions.
9.1 Temperature
The bearing temperature will increase after start-up until its
normal operating level is reached. Some fluctuation due to
ambient temperature change is normal, but a drastic change
MUST be investigated. Normal running temperature should not
exceed 180ºF. (Check with equipment manufacturer to see if
another operating temperature has been specified.) Low ambient
and operating temperatures can be as harmful to the bearing
as high temperatures. A heater and thermoswitch is required for
such applications.
9.2 Minimum Temperature at Start-Up:
ISO 32 oil, 60ºF
ISO 68 oil, 85ºF
ISO 100 oil, 100ºF
9.3 Vibration:
Any significant vibration or imbalance MUST be corrected. Check
with equipment manufacturer for acceptable conditions.
9.4 Options Available:
• Heater and Thermoswitch:
WARNING: When installing heater and thermoswitch,
follow directions and safety procedures recommended
by the manufacturer. Install wiring in accordance with
the National Electrical Code and local codes. Failure to
follow these precautions could result in bodily injury.
• Vibration Detector Kit
