Oil volume requirements for sleeve/tilt pad type bearings
The sleeve/tilt pad type bearing is a pressurized lubrication system where oil is flowed into the bearing.
This system does not have an oil sump. The required system flow rate is dependent upon the bearing
size and shaft speed.
5.5.2 Lubricating-oil requirements
Oil quality requirements
Use a high-quality turbine oil with rust and oxidation inhibitors with rated viscosity shown below at 38°C |
100°F.
Oil requirements based on temperature
For the majority of operating conditions, bearing temperatures run between 49°C | 120°F and 82°C | 180°F,
and you can use an oil of ISO viscosity grade 68 at 38°C | 100°F. If temperatures exceed 82°C | 180°F, refer to
the table for temperature requirements.
Temperature
Oil requirement
Bearing temperatures exceed 82°C |
180°F
Use ISO viscosity grade 100. Bearing temperatures are generally about 11°C
| 20°F higher than bearing-housing outer surface temperatures.
Pumped-fluid temperatures are ex-
treme
Refer to the factory or a lubrication expert.

5.5.4 Lubricate the bearings with oil
WARNING:
Risk of explosive hazard and premature failure from sparks and heat generation. Ensure
bearings are properly lubricated prior to startup.
