Product catalog summary
Overview of Pedestal Bearing
The Miba pedestal horizontal bearings, specifically types ZR and ZG, adhere to DIN 31690 standards and are suitable for heavy-duty applications such as electrical machines, turbines, blowers, and test rigs. The modular design facilitates easy assembly and maintenance through interchangeable modules like shells and lubricating rings.

Housing Specifications
The housings are constructed from high-strength nodular cast iron, with alternatives available upon request. They feature a spherical seat for optimal alignment and load distribution. Standard features include threaded holes for temperature monitoring, oil inlet/outlet, and an oil sight glass. Custom modifications can include water cooling tubes and vibration sensors.

Bearing Shells
Constructed from low carbon steel lined with high tin-based white metal, the shells are designed for easy assembly and durability. Customization options include various bore shapes and thrust faces.

Oil Supply and Electrical Insulation
The bearings utilize a loose oil ring for self-contained lubrication, with options for external oil circulation. Electrical insulation is available to prevent stray currents, with an option for a grounding wire.

Sealing and Temperature Control
Seals are chosen based on operational conditions, with options for floating labyrinth or rigid seals. Temperature sensors are standard, with additional options for high thrust load applications.

Oil Selection and Bearing Calculation
Recommended lubricants are branded mineral oils with specific properties. Miba offers a calculation program for metrics such as oil film thickness and bearing temperature.

Radial Bore Profile Selection
Selection is based on circumferential speed and specific pressure, with a table provided for preliminary selection.

Oil Flow Specifications
Specifications for oil flow are provided, with options for non-standard enlarged oil outlet threads for larger oil quantities.

Bearing Dimensions
Detailed dimensions for ZR and ZG bearings are provided, including shaft dimensions and seal types.

Bearing Types and Designations
Various bearing types and their designations are explained, with examples of configurations.

Installation Checklist
A checklist is provided to ensure all operating conditions and requirements are met before installation.

Oil supply Fully self-contained lubrication is achieved by using a loose oil ring. Alternatively, where bearings are lubricated by an external oil circulation system, this loose oil ring can be used to permit an emergency shutdown without damage in case an oil system failure occurs. Z-bearings can be used for marine applications, where an oil ring guide assures proper lubrication even if extreme vessel motions occur. Electrical insulation To prevent stray currents conducted by the shaft, Z-bearings can optionally be supplied electrically insulated. In this case, the spherical seat of the housing...

1) Limit dimensions of the shaft acc. DIN 31 698, form and positional tolerance and surfaces roughness acc. to DIN 31 699. 2) Standard thrust clearance is 0,6 mm. If reversible thrust loads or shock load occur, dimension b20 can be reduced by 0,3 mm. If a locating bearing (shell type B,K) is needed only for test runs, dimension b20 can be enlarged by 4 up to 6 mm. 3) If the non-locating bearing must allow larger motions (due to heat expansion or to large thrust clearances caused by the unit), dimension b21 can be enlarged. 4) The plunge cut d32 is dropped, if it is equal or smaller as the shaft...
