Compared with the cylindrical roller bearings with cage, the kinem<strong>at</strong>ic conditions from the lubricant viewpoint are<br />
extremely undesirable, since slide movements <strong>at</strong> double roller rev speed can occur between the cylinder rollers. In<br />
addition, when the rolling elements change from the unloaded to the loaded zone of the roller bearing, high acceler<strong>at</strong>ion<br />
forces can occur. Therefore, for reasons of efficiency, only some 40% of the rev speed value of the lubricant<br />
will be used.<br />
Tapered roller bearings lubric<strong>at</strong>ion<br />
The axial load r<strong>at</strong>ing of tapered roller bearings depends on the contact angle. A soft, high load lubricant should<br />
be used for the lubric<strong>at</strong>ion of the tapered roller bearings, which provides delivery in the bearing and minimizes the<br />
slide friction on the inner ring board. The base oil viscosity, e.g. of the lubric<strong>at</strong>ing grease, should be about double<br />
the reference viscosity.<br />
Lubric<strong>at</strong>ion of spherical roller bearings<br />
Double row spherical roller bearings are used predominantly in heavy industry machines and plants. In order to<br />
utilise the usage properties of these bearings, the lubricant specific<strong>at</strong>ion and its maintenance should be especially<br />
taken into consider<strong>at</strong>ion.<br />
Because of the good angular adjustment, it can be assumed th<strong>at</strong> there is pure radial load. Defined axial load is,<br />
however, also possible. In this case, the slide friction portions of the boards (with A-specific<strong>at</strong>ion bearings) as well as<br />
the possible, but not definable loads by rolling elements moving into the unloaded row of the double row spherical<br />
roller bearing are to be minimised. In this case, the oper<strong>at</strong>ing viscosity (base oil viscosity for lubric<strong>at</strong>ing greases)<br />
should likewise contain double the reference viscosity and the rev speed of the lubric<strong>at</strong>ing grease only about 60%<br />
used. The selection and, if necessary, the change of the thickener and additive must be done in extensive consult<strong>at</strong>ion<br />
with the lubric<strong>at</strong>ion manufacturer.<br />
Lubric<strong>at</strong>ion of axial cylindrical roller bearings<br />
The rolling of the cylinder rollers in the axial plane is not slip-free, i.e. a high mixed friction can be expected in addition<br />
to the roll friction. On the other hand, the bearing design ensures a high load capacity. For these bearings, a<br />
highly additive lubricant must therefore be used.<br />
Hints rel<strong>at</strong>ed to the type of lubric<strong>at</strong>ion<br />
Grease lubric<strong>at</strong>ion<br />
Grease lubric<strong>at</strong>ion is sufficient in 90% of all the roller bearings, since it has the following benefits:<br />
• simple design<br />
• sealing improved by grease<br />
• high service life of the lubricant<br />
• minimum maintenance.<br />
Standard greases consist of mineral basic oils, metal soaps, and additives to enhance their properties.<br />
Standard DIN 51825 details classific<strong>at</strong>ion of and requirements on lubric<strong>at</strong>ing greases. Greases with the code letter<br />
K are used for roller bearings, greases with code letter P or PF, respectively, may also be used under hard oper<strong>at</strong>ing<br />
conditions. Greases are classified according to the following characteristics:<br />
• consistency (NLGI class according to DIN 51818)<br />
• maximum and minimum oper<strong>at</strong>ing temper<strong>at</strong>ure<br />
• he<strong>at</strong> resistance.<br />
Make sure th<strong>at</strong> the oper<strong>at</strong>ing temper<strong>at</strong>ure remains about 20°C below the maximum temper<strong>at</strong>ure and/or 20°C<br />
above the minimum temper<strong>at</strong>ure listed.<br />
Select the grease type according to the manufacturer’s recommend<strong>at</strong>ions.<br />
