RBC originated the precision ground single fracture spherical plain bearing and continues to be the leader in design and innovation. Listed below are the basic types of spherical plain bearings that RBC makes with pertinent selection criteria.

Designed to support heavy radial loads undermisalignment. These bearings also possessmoderate thrust loading capability. They arenon-separable with a single fractured outerring, and are available in open or sealed de-signs and inch or metric sizes.

With an extended inner ring, the need foradditional locational spacers is eliminated.The inner ring bore is relieved to preventexcess bending stress. Available in open orsealed designs and inch or metric sizes.

Due to greater inner ring cross section, theBH-L and MBH series is capable of greatermisalignment. Available in open or sealeddesigns and inch or metric sizes.

B-SA Single Acting Angular ContactDesigned to support heavy unidirectional thrust and combina-tion radial/thrust loads. Elliptical lubricating grooves are astandard feature. Available in both inch or metric sizes.

B-DSA-3 ShimPack® Double Acting Angular ContactB-DSA-3 series bearings can support radial and thrust loads inboth directions. They are commonly used in articulating joint applications. Tapered bore designs are available, as well as inchor metric sizes.

Hardened and Precision Ground Steel Bushings are available for applications that would see costly wear in thehousing or on the shaft and where no misalignment occurs.They are supplied with or without oil holes and grooves and with various oil groove configurations.

Industrial Rod Ends can be supplied with any style radialspherical plain bearing. RBC rod ends are available with amale or female shank.

Standard Radial Outer Rings are the outer rings from thestandard inch and metric spherical plain bearing offering.They can be used whenever the user provides the inner ringor ball stud.

Special Spherical Plain Bearings are available for customrequirements. Unique fractures, nonstandard envelopes, various degrees of metallurgical hardness as well as uniquecoatings and sealing arrangements have been developed forspecific needs. RBC’s experienced team of engineers is available for consultation for your unique requirements.

Up to 300% improved service life provided by innovative lubrica-tion system. The patented system distributes lubrication to theload zone even when no load reversal exists and allows re-lubrication without removing the load. These bearings provide anincreased life to many problem applications. Available in inch ormetric sizes.

RBC's DuraLube™ self-lubricating spherical plain bearings pro-vide long life in demanding applications. Grease-free operation isaccomplished through the use of a durable PTFE liner system thatreduces friction between the spherical surfaces of the inner ringand outer ring. These bearings are ideal for applications in whichre-lubrication is impractical or impossible, but longevity is a must.Available in inch or metric sizes.

The RBC QuadLube®

Long Life Spherical Plain Bearing

Outer Ring

Circular Lube Channels

Tough applications in construction and material handling requires a spherical plain bearing with longer life, less maintenance and less downtime than standard spherical plain bearings. A bearing with total interchangeability to standard designs is preferred. RBC engineering developed the

QuadLube® spherical plain bearing after observing the three predominant factors which contribute tothe failure of spherical plain bearings:

1) Unidirectional loads

2) Heavy loads

3) Neglected lubrication intervals

Each factor contributes to a lack of lubrication in the load zone area which eventually allows for metal tometal contact and premature failure of the bearing in the application.

RBC engineering developed the QuadLube® spherical plain bearing to solve each of these three failuremodes. The RBC QuadLube® spherical plain bearing is manufactured within the same envelope dimen-sions as standard inch and metric spherical plain bearings. The lubrication system contains four precise-ly machined circular grooves on the spherical surface of the inner ring. Each circular groove is connectedby a lubrication groove around the circumference of the inner ring. The bearing is packed with an EPmoly grease and is sealed with lip contacts seals for grease retention.

Industry Applications forThe RBC QuadLube® Long Life

Spherical Plain Bearing

• Construction Equipment• Mining Machinery• Lift Trucks and Material Handling Equipment• Log Skidders• Off-Highway Vehicles• Satellite Dishes

FFEEAATTUURREEDD PPRROODDUUCCTTFFEEAATTUURREEDD PPRROODDUUCCTT

The innovative design of the RBC QuadLube® interconnecting lubricating groove system ensures a more efficient distribution of the lubricant by providing channels that transport the grease throughoutthe entire bearing, including into the contact area of the bearing under load. In cases of unidirectionalload or when lubrication intervals are missed, the groove system retains extra lubricant where it isneeded for added margin of performance. In the dirtiest of environments the grooves and channelscapture any dirt or debris and keep these contaminants away from the raceway surfaces.

The RBC QuadLube® long life spherical plain bearing maintains the same size capacity ratings as conventional bearings with the same envelope. They can immediately replace conventional bearingswithout modifying housings or shafts. Should you have a nonstandard spherical plain bearing in yourproblem application, RBC can design a QuadLube® bearing specifically for your existing envelope sizes.

Advanced Seal Technology

SpreadLock® Seals for spherical plain bearingsemploy double positive contacting lips to keep thedirt out and the lubricant in. Compare newSpreadLock® Seal technology with single or dou-ble lip designs oriented in one direction only.

Positive, yet functional, sealing is one of theongoing challenges in bearing design. In ourquest to develop the definitive seal that wouldwork more effectively with our spherical plain

bearings, we asked several tough questions to help establish the design priorities. How can we provide maximum protection against the entry of contaminants and wear debris while maintainingproper bearing operation? How do we minimize seal wear and protect the seal from outside damage? Also, we wanted to maximize lube loss with constant pressure on the inner sphere, whilemaximizing lube replacement efficiency.

SpreadLock® Seal

Total Protection Package

The design of the outer ring retention groove and the sealing of the inner ring bore to shaft interfaceis critical to the total protection package. The groove profile is engineered to exert optimum pressure on the sealing surface, while reducing the seal profile exposure. Less profile exposurereduces the potential of damage and wear. Optimum pressure is the key to maximizing the lube-in/dirt-out advantage and providing the most efficient re-lubrication and purging.

The integrity of the inner ring/shaft is essential to effective overall performance of the bearing. Eventhe most precise fit is subject to movement under load. Protective SpreadLock® Seals block dirt andretain lube to help assure stability of the interface. In addition, inner ring sealing is particularlyimportant where re-lube is performed through the pin.

Lube reservoir providessecond line barrier

against contamination

Stiff scraping lip keepscontaminants out.

Advanced Technology

RBC's DuraLube™ self-lubricating spherical plainbearings provide long life in demanding applica-tions. Grease-free operation is accomplishedthrough the use of a durable PTFE liner systemthat reduces friction between the spherical sur-faces of the inner ring and outer ring. This proprietary liner system has been developed forrigorous industrial applications, and has beenproven successful time and time again.

Applications

Self-lubricating bearings are being utilized in skid steer, telehandler, off-road forklift, and wheel loader applications primarily on the cylinders, as well as on the pivot points of such equipment. The benefits of using these bearings include improved field reliability and lowered warranty costs.DuraLube™ Self-lubricating Spherical plain bearings has also reduced the cost of ownership by elimi-nating the need for zerk fittings, and costs associated with greasing and maintaining the bearings.

Guidelines for Use

• These are dry lubricant bearings and should not receive additional lubrication. This will minimize entrapment of abrasive dirt and grit.

• DuraLube™ bearings are dimensionally interchangeable with standard steel-on-steel spherical plain bearings.

• DuraLube™ bearings utilize the same housing and shaft fits as standard steel-on-steel spherical plain bearings, thus allowing for easier replacement.

• Required running clearance is developed through initial compression of the self-lubricated liner material.

Advanced Shock Load Protection

The ImpactTuff® spherical plain bearing improvesresistance to shock loads by 300%! In manyrugged applications where substantial impactloads are common, spherical plain bearings canbreak and chip, adding to the high cost of war-ranties. In particular, suspension components inoff-highway construction vehicles have been sub-ject to abuse from impacting rocks or abrupt ter-rain changes. Often, the result is broken bear-ings resulting in costly machinery repair.

ImpactTuff®

Up to the Challenge

The real challenge of the case carburized design is being able to fracture the outer ring to facilitateassembly. We designed a unique outer ring profile with a minimal notch exposure that permits con-trolled fracture through the softer inner core. The ductile inner core provides a high degree of pro-tection against the devastating effects of impact and shock loads. ImpactTuff® technology can beincorporated into almost any traditional RBC spherical plain bearing configuration.

A Clean Solution

Designed specifically for applications that involvehigh levels of dirt or other contamination, the RBCCrossLube® spherical plain bearing utilizes the latest generation of lube groove design technology.

While this system greatly improves lube distribution, it also facilitates relubrication purgingto flush out wear debris and contaminants.

The CrossLube® feature is particularly effective industy, highly contaminated environments, such askingpin applications in farm machinery.

The RBC ShimPack®

B-DSA-3 Double Acting Angular ContactSpherical Plain Bearing

The RBC ShimPack® double acting angular contact spherical plain bearing design eliminates the sliding fit and allows a press fit of the outerring. As the required clearance is determined by RBC application engineers and set at the RBC factory, consistency is maintained from sizeto size and bearing to bearing. The customer simply installs the RBC ShimPack® double acting angular contact spherical plain bearing ashe would any other self-aligning spherical plain bearing, with no need of concern as to the axial clearance or press fit of the outer ring.

The B-DSA-3 ShimPack® Double ActingAngular Contact Spherical Plain BearingThe bearing is mounted with a press fit and cover plate installed.The proper amount of clearance is already preset into the bearingat the factory. As the outer ring is press fit and axially clamped, itwill not rotate and damage the housing.

X

The RBC ShimPack® double acting angular contact spherical plain bearing was developed to ease the installation procedures required onthe assembly line. Traditionally the bearing assembly was completed, clearance was measured and then the assembly was disassembled,shimmed and reassembled. With the RBC ShimPack® double acting angular contact spherical plain bearing, a spacer is preset and indi-vidually calibrated at the factory to provide the optimum amount of axial internal clearance.

Old Method of ShimmingThe cover plate has to be bolted down until all clearance in thebearing is eliminated and gap X measured. The cover plate is thenremoved and shims added. The housing begins to fret and dete-riorate as the outer ring slides because of the loose fit.

Like all RBC spherical plain bearings, the RBC ShimPack® double acting angular contact spherical plain bearing is made to withstandthe harsh environment seen by off-highway vehicles. The B-DSA-3 design is much more tolerant than tapered roller bearings to roughconditions and seal damage. Overloads and shock loads which lead to early failure in tapered roller bearings are better tolerated bythe RBC ShimPack® double acting angular contact spherical plain bearing design. The RBC ShimPack® double acting angular contactspherical plain bearing is the bearing designed specifically for articulating joint applications.

The use of the RBC ShimPack® double acting angular contact spherical plain bearing in articulated joints in place of a tapered rollerbearing offers many advantages. The misalignment capable B-DSA-3 design means that costly line boring is no longer necessary.Alignment becomes less critical allowing the relaxation of bore tolerances and an easier assembly. Assembly also becomes easier asaxial clearance no longer has to be set during installation. Dirt and water, which would destroy a roller bearing, are more easily toler-ated with the B-DSA-3 design. Misalignment from shaft and housing bore wear have less effect on the RBC ShimPack® double actingangular contact spherical plain bearing than on a roller bearing as contact geometry is critical to successful roller bearing operation.

SPHERICAL PLAIN BEARING ENGINEERINGSPHERICAL PLAIN BEARING ENGINEERINGBasic Radial Bearing Design

spherical plain bearings have spherical contact surfaces which permit the inner ring to rotate freely in all directions within bearing and application

design constraints. This gives them the capability to self-align, which means, for example, to adjust automatically tomisalignment stemming from inaccurate machining, framedistortions from welding, or deformations of pin andframe due to static and dynamic forces. Such misalign-ment would generate considerable end loading and causeearly failure of plain cylindrical sleeve bearings. Thusspherical plain bearings are thought to have their origin asreplacement for plain cylindrical sleeve bearings or bushings and are still occasionally called ball bushings.

The first modern radial spherical plain bearing had anon-fractured outer ring with a loading slot slightly widerthan the inner ring width (figure 1). Such a bearing caneasily be assembled and disassembled simply by rotatingthe inner ring 90 deg out of plane to where it fits throughthe loading slot. Because the loading slots take away a significant portion of the contact area, radial and thrustcapacity in the direction of the loading slots are affected.The bearing is sensitive to the orientation of the loadingslots with respect to the main load direction. Lubricatingwith grease is problematic. It may be lost prematurely byescaping through the loading slots. Yet, this type of bearingis still made today for applications where the outer ringcannot be fractured, either because the outer ring material istoo soft for fracturing, or because of application requirementswhich cannot tolerate a fractured outer ring.

Figure 1: Outer Ring with Loading Slots

The RBC Single Fracture DesignThe requirement to keep outer ring halves together and

properly aligned eventually spawned the single fracturedesign. This RBC feature is the industry standard today. Afterbeing fractured at a single point on its circumference, theouter ring is still a single piece (figure 3). To assemble theinner ring, the outer ring must be spread open far enough tolet the inner ring pass through.

The plane of fracture is 90 deg from the lubricating holesfor both single and double fractured outer rings.

Note: The fracture in the outer ring is intentional.It is not an indication of a defective bearing.

Figure 2: Double Fractured Outer Ring

Snap Ring

Figure 3: Single Fractured Outer Ring

The loading slot bearing eventually evolved into abearing with a fractured outer ring. Initially, outer rings weredouble fractured, followed later by a single fractured design.Both designs get by without a loading slot and are insensitiveto the orientation of the fracture plane with respect to theload direction as long as the outer ring maintains a press fitinside a sufficiently rigid housing bore. A double fracturedouter ring consists essentially of two segments of approxi-mately equal size and a means of holding the bearing assem-bly together (figure 2). After pressing the bearing into a housing bore, the fractured surfaces of the two outer ringhalves interlock perfectly. The fracture line cannot be felt. Itfollows that outer ring halves cannot be interchanged amongbearings and must not be inadvertently rotated 180˚ out ofposition.

In typical applications, spherical plain bearings supportheavy static loads allowing for initial misalignment.Dynamic applications are limited to slow oscillations androtations below the recommended maximum pv-value(pressure*velocity). The pv-value is used to measure theamount of heat generated by the bearing. Spherical plainbearings can operate above the recommended pv-value, butonly under special lubrication conditions.

Metric spherical plain bearings have evolved differentlyfrom inch dimensional bearings, not just in their geometry,but also in their load ratings. For comparable inner ringbores, metric bearings have a smaller outside diameter and asmaller width, but by convention, their permissible staticcontact pressure is higher. (See section LOAD RATING).

More Radial Bearing DesignsRBC QuadLube® Design

With few exceptions, steel-on-steel spherical plain bearings used in dynamic applications must be relubricatedperiodically. To be effective, the grease must penetrate intothe contact area between inner and outer ring. If a bearingis subject to a unidirectional load, it must be unloaded during relubrication or only a minimal amount of greasewill ever reach the contact area. Most of the lubricant willaccumulate in the unloaded zone and eventually exit without benefiting the bearing service life.

The QuadLube® design solves the lubricant flow problem of bearings where the load acts always in the samedirection. The additional circular grooves on the sphericaldiameter of the inner ring allow grease to flow into the contact area even with the bearing under load. The grooveshelp to collect wear debris which is purged from the bearing during a subsequent relubrication cycle.

Heavy SectionIn a typical bearing application, the inner ring mounts

on a shaft and its face abuts against a shoulder. If the bearing must support significant thrust loads, the shoulderdiameter should match the outside diameter of the innerring at the face to minimize contact pressure. See the catalog pages for this dimension. A tilting outer ring willeventually make contact with this shaft shoulder, whichdefines the bearings maximum tilt angle (figure 4).

CAUTION: The actual tilt angle of a bearingassembly may be limited by the design of surrounding components.

Figure 4: Maximum Tilt Angle

To increase the tilt angle of a standard bearing, thewidth of the inner ring must be increased. But simplyincreasing the width is not sufficient because there wouldbe no inner ring face left if we did not also reduce theinside diameter of the inner ring. These inner rings withgreater width and wall thickness form the heavy sectionseries BH-L (figure 5). For a given shaft size, the heavy section bearings have greater misalignment capabilities anda greater load carrying capacity compared to the standardseries at the cost of increased overall dimensions.

Tapered Bore Inner RingsBearings with heavy section inner rings are also

available with a tapered bore, see series BT-L (figure 6).The taper is 1:8 or 1.5" per ft on diameter. There are 2 mainreasons for using a tapered bore bearing:

•To prevent rotation between inner ring bore and shaft. •To control the diametral clearance of the bearing

assembly. As the inner ring is forced up the tapered pin, itsoutside diameter expands effectively reducing the diame-tral clearance.

CAUTION: Reducing the operating clearancebelow 0.001" (0.025mm) may increase bearingfriction and wear rate. A substantial thrust forcein the direction of the large end of the taper maycause additional inner ring expansion which couldlock up the bearing.

DuraLube™ Maintenance-Free BearingsRBC offers maintenance-free bearings consisting of a

chromium plated inner ring, an outer ring with a bonded PTFE liner and seals. The liner provides excellent load bearing capacity and a low wear rate (figure 8).

Extended Inner RingsFor applications with substantial outer ring tilt, for

example yoke supported rod ends of some hydraulic cylinders, RBC offers radial bearings with extended innerrings (figure 7). Using a bearing with an extended innerring obviates the need to add separate spacers to the bearing assembly to create the axial space required by theouter ring housing.

CAUTION: Spacers and inner ring extensionsincrease the distance between pin supports. Athigh loads, pin deflection may become a problem.

Sealed BearingsExcept for the very small sizes, all radial spherical plain

bearings can be ordered with integral seals. Their functionis twofold, retain the lubricant as much as possible insidethe bearing and slow the ingress of contaminants. Rubberor plastic seals work best in bearings which experience circumferential motion or very frequent tilting, which tendsto keep the contact surfaces clean. The seals are not effec-tive at scraping off paint or accumulated and hardened dirtduring an occasional tilting motion.

Angular Contact BearingsSingle Acting

Angular contact bearings, RBC series B-SA, are in-tended for applications with thrust loads exceeding thecapability of a radial bearing. Angular contact bearingscan support both radial and thrust loads. Single actingbearings are separable and support thrust loads in onlyone direction (figure 9). To support heavy thrust loads inboth directions, use either 2 single acting bearings mountedin an “O” or “X” configuration (figure 10) or consider a double acting bearing, see below. Angular contact bearingsdo not have the misalignment capabilities of radial bearings,in fact, the angle of misalignment is generally quite small.

Double ActingCombining two single acting angular contact bearings

into a singular unit yields a double acting bearing with aheavy section inner ring, the RBC series B-DSA3 (figure 11).This type of bearing is often used as a locating bearingbecause it can support much heavier thrust loads than astandard radial bearing. Like a single acting bearing itsangle of misalignment is limited. The heavy section innerring allows a tapered bore with the same advantages anddisadvantages as described above.

As in all angular contact bearings, the proper axialclearance after assembly is critical. To eliminate the needfor external shims, RBC produces these bearing assemblies

with an axial clearance preset at the factory. A shim packinserted between the two outer rings determines the actualclearance. The thickness of this shim pack may differ fromone bearing assembly to the next, therefore care must betaken not to mix components from different assemblies.The ties of each bearing should only be cut immediatelybefore installation.

CAUTION: Do not interchange components ofShimPack® Bearings.

The shim pack spacer is an elastic component. To prevent excessive elastic or plastic deformations, the catalog pages list a recommended shim pack compressionforce (figure 12). Such a compression force could be gener-ated by an end plate being tightened down with a numberof bolts. As long as the clamping force does not exceed therecommended shim pack compression force, the listed axialbearing clearance will be maintained. Clamping beyondthat limit will start to plastically deform the shim packspacer and reduce the axial bearing clearance accordingly.Unless such an effect is actually intended, the assemblyinstructions should specify a maximum tightening torquefor the bolts.

CAUTION: Observe the maximum recommendedshim pack compression force.

CAUTION: 2 single acting angular contact bear-ings mounted in an “X” configuration a fair dis-tance apart may bind if there is an appreciabletemperature difference between shaft and hous-ing. Allow for thermal expansion or use “O”configuration.

Material and Specifications

Inner and outer rings are manufactured from throughhardened bearing quality steel per ASTM A485, and, unlessotherwise specified, heat treated to HRc 57 minimum foroptimum wear resistance. The spherical contact surfacesare precision ground. Inner and outer rings are phosphatetreated prior to coating with a dry film lubricant (MoS2).

The inch and metric radial bearings described in this cata-log meet the requirements of series 3 of ANSI/ABMA Std 22.

Except for the larger sizes, the outer rings of radial bear-ings are single fractured which allows assembly of the innerring. Larger bearing sizes have double fractured outer ringsand can be disassembled if necessary. These bearings carrythe suffix -9L. The fractured rings may be slightly out-of-round in the free state, but will round up when mounted in aproper housing bore. It is generally not necessary to orientthe fracture plane relative to the load direction.

Load RatingsBoth inch and metric bearings consist of the same high

quality, high strength bearing steel, with a strength ofmaterial of 285,000 to 300,000 psi [1965 to 2069 MPa].

In most applications the bearings are mated with shafts and housings made of lower strength steel, whichmakes it impossible to realize a contact stress level ap-proaching this magnitude. For practical purposes, thebearings must be down rated to a level where they cansafely work with lower strength mating components. (Seealso sections on housing design, shaft design, typical failure modes). Applications with loads in excess of therecommended load limits are possible but should bereviewed by RBC engineering.

By convention, the permissible contact stress has beendefined differently for metric and inch dimensional bear-ings. The definitions given apply to radial bearings, theyare similar for other bearing types.

A) Inch Dimensional BearingsThe maximum recommended static contact pressure is 50,000 psi [345 MPa]. The maximum recommended dynamic contact pressure is 25% of that or 12,500 psi [86 MPa].

The radial and thrust ratings are based on the projected area and can be derived with the following equations:

B) Metric BearingsThe static radial load limit is given at a pressure of 430 MPa [62,370 psi]. The maximum recommended dynamiccontact pressure is 20% of that or 86 MPa [12,470 psi].The static thrust load limit is based on a contact pressureof 215 MPa [31,185 psi]. No allowance is made to account for the effects of lubricating groove and under-cuts. The equations are then:

CO = 430 * K * C / 1000 [kN]COA = 215 * C2

* (�/4) / 1000 [kN]

CO = recommended static radial load limit [kN] COA = recommended static axial load limit [kN]K = spherical diameter [mm]C = outer ring width [mm]

For comparable bearing inside diameters, e.g. 2.000" and50mm, inch dimensional bearings typically have a somewhatlarger outside diameter and considerably greater width. Inthis particular case, the projected gross radial contact area forthe 2" bearing is 4.3125 in2 (2782 mm2) compared to 2.9078 in2

(1876 mm2) for the 50 mm bearing. For a given load, the inchdimensional bearing typically sees a much lower contact pres-sure but requires more mounting space.

CO = 50,000 * K * C * frCOA = 35,000 * (K2 - fa * (K2 - C2)) * (�/4)

CO = recommended static radial load limit [lbf] COA = recommended static axial load limit [lbf]K = spherical diameter [in]C = outer ring width [in]fr = geometry factor, typically fr = 0.7. Makes

allowance for lube grooves & undercuts.fa = geometry factor,

Working LoadsSTATIC - The static load limits given in the tables are safe

bearing operating loads, provided housing and shaft are sufficiently rigid to prevent excessive deformation. The safetyfactor against static fracture is greater than 1.5. See the sections on shaft and housing designs to check for conditionswhich could require reducing the bearing load.

DYNAMIC - Applications are considered to be dynamic ifthe bearing is subject to more than initial misalignment or anoccasional oscillation. Spherical plain bearings are best suitedfor oscillating motion as in hydraulic cylinders.

The dynamic bearing load for grease lubrication should notexceed:

a) the dynamic capacity given in the tables andb) a pv value (pressure*velocity) of 10,000 psi*ft/min.

These limits do not apply to oil lubrication. To find the p*v-value, use the following equation:

p*v = 46.5 *(F/CO) * K * ß * f <= 10,000 psi * ft/minF = dynamic radial Load [lbf]CO = recommended static radial load limit [lbf]K = spherical diameter [in]ß = angle of oscillation side to side [deg]f = frequency of oscillation [1/min]

The above equation applies to radial bearings under radialload. Please contact RBC engineering for an estimate of servicelife and for other operating conditions and bearing types.

Housing DesignTo safely support the high load capacity of spherical plain

bearings, the housing must have sufficient strength to avoidexcessive deformation and fatigue failure. Certain housingtypes like cylinder rod eyes and pivot brackets under tensilestress experience maximum stress at points perpendicular to the line of force. To obtain the maximum tensile stress, multiply the normal tensile stress of the total cross section by a factor “K” found in figure 16. The result must be less than the endurance limit of the housing material.

Housings must be sufficiently strong to prevent exces-sive outer ring deformation. Sufficient housing strength canbe achieved either by a great enough wall thickness, hereexpressed as a ratio of housing outside diameter divided byhousing bore, or by selecting a higher strength material. Theeffects of housing wall thickness and strength on availablebearing capacity can be observed in figure 17.

Operating Conditions

TEMPERATURE - The maximum operating tempera-ture of sealed bearings is limited by the seal to 250 deg F.Standard bearings without seals can operate without modifications from -60 deg F to + 350 deg F. For operationbelow -60 deg F and above +350 deg F, up to +500 deg F, itis recommended to use bearings temperature stabilized atthe factory. For operation to +1000 deg F and at cryogenictemperatures, contact RBC engineering.

ENVIRONMENT - Standard bearings are phosphatetreated and coated with a dry film lubricant (MOS2). Thissurface treatment provides a certain protection against corrosion from atmospheric conditions and an occasionalsplash. Additional protection should be supplied for operation in continuously wet environments by addinginternal or external seals. RBC can supply bearings withspecial coatings for underwater applications.

Ingress of hard solid particles like debris, sand, gritand mud will accelerate the bearing wear and may clog lubricating holes. The bearing should be protected fromexposure to solid particles.

Mounting - Fractured Outer RingsBearings with single or double fractured outer rings

(series B-L, BH-L, MB, MBH) should be mounted with aninterference fit in the housing. The interference fit correctsany out-of-roundness of the outer ring due to the fractur-ing process and will make the fracture line functionally invisible. For light loads of less than 20% of dynamic capacity, an ISO N7 fit may be used. RBC recommendsusing an ISO R7 fit whenever possible. The internal bearing clearance can accommodate the reduced sphericaldiameter of the outer ring caused by an R7 press fit. Aneven heavier press fit may be required in applications withheavy shock loads, a rotating load on the outer ring, orwhen the housing is made from a light metal. In the caseof heavier fits, the mounted diametral clearance must bereviewed.

Mounting - Solid Outer RingsThe bearings with non-fractured outer rings are the

single and double acting angular contact series B-SA, MB-SA, B-DSA3. While the outer rings of single acting angularcontact bearings may be heavily press fitted, it is oftendesirable to maintain axial adjustability for double actingbearings. An ISO N7 fit is still light enough to move outerrings axially in the housing bore without too great a force.

CAUTION: Outer rings of angular contactbearings subject to heavy thrust loads must notbe clearance fitted.

Mounting - Inner Rings,Cylindrical Bore

It is generally recommended to press fit the inner ringswhere feasible to prevent rotation taking place between in-ner ring bore and shaft. If assembly or operating conditionsrequire a loose fit, it is preferable to let the inner ring slideon the shaft rather than the outer ring rotate in the housing.

Mounting - Inner Rings,Tapered Bore

Heavy section inner rings of the series BT-L and BT-DSA3 feature a tapered bore with a taper of 1:8 (1.5" per fton diameter). Tapered bores are useful to prevent innerring rotation on the pin and to control the diametral bearing clearance by expanding the inner ring.

To ensure sufficient operating clearance for the bear-ing, the inner ring clamping forces given in the tableshould normally not be exceeded.

56

Figure 18: Reduce Contact Pressure by Using aHardened and Tapered Spacer

Grease Lubrication - It is recommended that the bearings be thoroughly lubricated with grease at the timeof installation. Lubrication after installation may make itdifficult for the grease to penetrate into the load zone. Failureto do so may cause surface damage to the bearing rings during the critical run-in period. Steel-on-steel bearings mustbe relubricated periodically depending on operating condi-tions. The frequency and efficacy of relubrication greatlyinfluence the ultimate bearing service life. For example, morefrequent relubrication is necessary if the bearings operate in adirty and dusty environment. The grease flow through thebearing helps purge contaminants.

Radial bearings can be relubricated either through theshaft or the housing. In those cases where rotation betweeninner ring bore and shaft must be expected, relubricationthrough the shaft helps to lubricate that interface.

To become effective, the grease must be able to reachthe contact area between inner and outer ring. In applica-tions where the load direction alternates, e.g. the push-pulltype action of a hydraulic cylinder, the grease will bemoved around due to the different inner ring positions.

By contrast, in applications where the load always actsin the same direction, e.g. in some suspension systems,grease will not be able to flow into the load zone, if thebearing is relubricated under load. For effective lubrication,the bearing must be unloaded. Alternatively, use the RBCdeveloped bearing with special lubricating grooves, theQuadLube® series, which permits relubrication under load.See also section “More Radial Bearing Designs”.

Angular contact bearings with extended lubricationgrooves, series B-SA-1 and B-DSA3-1, have lubricatinggrooves extended to the small diameter of the outer ring tofacilitate grease flow through the bearing while underload. Angular contact bearings without these lube grooveextensions should not be relubricated while under heavythrust load or air may become trapped in the grease passages which will expell the grease promptly.

Recommended grease type: for operating tempera-tures between -40 deg F and +250 deg F, use a lithiumbased grease, NLGI Grade 2, with EP and MoS2 additives.

HARDENED SPACER

Shaft DesignWith the exception of bearings under light load and

press fitted inner rings, it is generally recommended thatshafts or pins be heat treated to a surface hardness of HRc55 min and have a surface finish of 32 rms. Under dynamicoperating conditions and with a loosely fitted inner ring, itmust be expected that rotation takes place between innerring and shaft. Under very heavy loads, even an interfer-ence fit does not guarantee that the inner ring will notrotate on the shaft.

Thrust loads on radial bearings are transmitted via theface of the inner ring. The contact stress of this annulararea should be checked against the yield strength in compression of the shaft material or any spacer which maybe used. Even under static conditions, it may be necessaryto harden the shaft shoulder to prevent plastic deforma-tion. Hardened spacers with a tapered OD may be used ifthe shoulder cannot be heat treated (figure 18).

LubricationStandard RBC spherical plain bearings are phosphate

treated and coated with a dry film lubricant (MoS2). Thissurface treatment is sufficient for static applications andoccasional movements. If used in a dynamic application,the bearings must be lubricated with oil or grease.

Oil Lubrication - Steel-on-steel bearings operating inan oil bath can be essentially maintenance-free. This canbe accomplished by enclosing the entire bearing assemblyin a gearbox style structure or by mounting spring loadedlip seals next to the bearings. The latter is only feasible inapplications with very little tilting motion. Bearings sub-ject to large degrees of tilting will require an oil filled boot.

Note: The integral seals of spherical plain bearings are not suitable for sealing against oilpressure.

For oil lubrication at ambient temperature use #90 gear oil.

Bearing Failure Modes

This section is intended to help the user identify bearingproblems and correct or prevent their causes. By definition,the useful service life of a spherical plain bearing has endedafter one of the following condition occurs:

• Outer ring, inner ring, or both are broken.

• The coefficient of friction exceeds 0.22.

• The diametral clearance has grown to more than the application can tolerate.

1. Component Fracture1.1 Causes of outer ring failure

• During assembly:Pressing the outer ring into the housing bore atan angle, trying to press fit the outer ring bypushing against the inner ring face, trying topress fit the outer ring with hammer blows.

• During operation: Excessive outer ring deformation due to shockloads, thin walled housing, partial outer ringsupport, insufficient interference fit.

1.2 Causes of inner ring failure• During assembly:

Attempting to mount bearing in the housing bypushing against the inner ring face.

• During operation: Excessive clearance between shaft and innerring bore. Excessive shaft deflection.

2. Excessive Friction Due to Adhesive Wear• Appearance:

Inner and outer ring spherical surfaces havedeep gouge marks, chunks of metal are tornout of the surface. The bearing makes ascreeching noise during operation.

• Causes: Excessive pv-value, excessive dynamic load, lackof maintenance, insufficient lubrication wherelubricant does not reach the load zone, contami-nation by hard particles, rust and corrosion.

3. Excessive Diametral Bearing Clearance Due to Abrasive Wear• Appearance:

Inner and outer ring spherical surfaces areshiny, appear polished. Ridges are worn intothe contact area.

• Causes:Contamination by a powdery substance ormud, lubrication insufficient to flush wear particles from the contact area.
