Once the DN factor of a bearing has been obtained, it can be used to consult grease selection charts in order to determine the correct lubricant. Viscosity must be matched to the needs of the bearing in order to obtain maximum efficiency, and to avoid lubricant runout due to overheating, which is a consequence of metal-on-metal contact, as well ...
Grease fitting on a bearing A grease nipple on the driver's door of a 1956 VW Beetle. A grease fitting, grease nipple, Zerk fitting, grease zerk, Alemite fitting, or divit is a metal fitting used in mechanical systems to feed lubricants, usually lubricating grease, into a bearing under moderate to high pressure using a grease gun.
It categorizes greases suitable for the lubrication of chassis components and wheel bearings of vehicles, based on performance requirements, using codes adopted from the NLGI's “chassis and wheel bearing service classification system”: LA and LB: chassis lubricants (suitability up to mild and severe duty respectively)
The test grease is inserted into the container and the plunger is stroked 60 times while the test apparatus and grease are maintained at a temperature of 25 °C. Once worked, the grease is placed in a penetration test apparatus. This apparatus consists of a container, a specially-configured cone and a dial indicator. The container is filled ...
Spherical roller bearing with a brass cage in a cut-through view. A spherical roller bearing is a rolling-element bearing that permits rotation with low friction, and permits angular misalignment. Typically these bearings support a rotating shaft in the bore of the inner ring that may be misaligned in respect to the outer ring.
Nikolai Pavlovich Petrov's method of lubrication analysis, which assumes a concentric shaft and bearing, was the first to explain the phenomenon of bearing friction.This method, which ultimately produces the equation known as Petrov's law (or Petroff's law), is useful because it defines groups of relevant dimensionless parameters, and predicts a fairly accurate coefficient of friction, even ...
The bearing is stripped, and the metal trimmed back to the top surface of the pillow block. Solidified babbitt metal is soft enough to be cut with a knife or sharp chisel. A steel shim is inserted to protect the face of the lower bearing and to space the cap of the pillow block away from the shaft. After resealing the ends with clay, more metal ...
An early pillow-block with a whitemetal plain bearing Stainless-steel-sea-water-resistance-split-plummer-pillow-block-bearing-unit. A pillow block bearing (or plummer block) is a mounting used to support a rotating shaft with the use of bearings and various accessories. The assembly consists of a mounting block which houses a bearing. [1]
