NSK manufactures several ranges of mounted units. These include Self-Lube, our recognised standard, and recently introduced ranges such as Silver-Lube, Life-Lube and Molded-Oil units. In each type, there are two basic components, the insert and the housing. Self-Lube bearing inserts The Self-Lube bearing insert, commonly known as a wide inner ring bearing, is designed to suit the wide range of housings offered by NSK in the Self-Lube bearing family and is also suitable for applications where the user’s own housing is preferred. take-up units, cartridge units and hanger units. Choice is very much...

Bearing load ratings and endurance Basic dynamic radial load rating Cr This is defined as the load that can be applied to the bearing to give a basic L10 rating life of one million revolutions. This is the life associated with 90% reliability which has been found by experience to be acceptable for normal engineering bearing applications. The majority of the bearings attain a much longer life and the median life is approximately five times the L10 life. Ratings for each series are given in the bearing tables and are used to calculate life for radial loads of constant magnitude and direction. Static...

Example 1 What nominal life can be obtained from NP55 with a steady radial load Fr = 3900N at speed of 1500 rev/min? The dynamic load rating Cr of the unit from page 23 is 43500N. Since the bearing is not subject to axial load the equivalent load Pr = Fr according to the formula on page 10. Therefore applying the service factor of 1.2 for a steady load. Pr = Fr • 1.2 = 3900 • 1.2 = 4680N. From page 10, L10 life in hours Alternatively, using the loading ratio tables on page 12 an approximate life can be obtained by locating the nearest Cr value in the appropriate rev/min column. Pr From page 10...

Under the heading of Self-Lube bearings there are two basic products: The Self-Lube bearing insert and the Self-Lube bearing unit. Self-Lube bearing unit The range of Self-Lube bearing units offers a wide choice of cast iron, pressed steel or synthetic rubber housings fitted with the full range of spherical outside diameter Self-Lube bearing inserts. They will accommodate initial housing misalignment up to 0.030 radians but are not recommended for running misalignment in excess of 0.001 radians. The general housing types are pillow blocks, flange units, take-up units, cartridge units and hanger...

Relubrication of Self-Lube Bearings NSK Self-Lube Bearings are factory charged with the correct amount of grease and do not require a further grease charge when being fitted. Relubrication is not normally necessary except when operating at extremes of temperature, speed and loading, or where excessive wet or dirty conditions exist. The relubrication frequency varies with the type and quality of grease used as well as the operating conditions. Therefore, it is difficult to establish a general rule, but under ordinary operating conditions, it is desirable that grease be replenished before one third...
