Timken Type E Housed Unit

Product catalog summary
Overview
Timken offers a wide range of high-quality bearings and mechanical power transmission components designed to enhance productivity and uptime across various industries. Their products are engineered to withstand harsh environments and are supported by a global team of experts.
Introduction
Timken provides various housed units, including ball, tapered roller, and spherical roller bearings. These units are designed for easy installation and maintenance, with different locking and sealing configurations to suit specific applications.
Ball Bearing Housed Units
These units feature wide-inner-ring ball bearings for additional shaft support and are available in configurations such as pillow blocks and flanged cartridges. They include Timken's Shaft Guarding Technology to prevent shaft damage.
Tapered Roller Bearing Type E Housed Units
Type E units are designed to repel contaminants with double-lip seals and locking collars. They feature a corrosion-resistant finish and are suitable for industries like pulp and paper, mining, and cement.
Spherical Roller Bearing Solid-Block Housed Units
These units are made of solid steel, offering high strength and the ability to handle misalignment. They come with multiple locking and sealing options, making them ideal for rugged conditions in industries such as metals and mining.
SAF Split-Block Housed Units
Available in cast iron, ductile iron, or cast steel, these units are designed for heavy loads and ease of installation. They offer various sealing options to protect against contamination.
SNT Split Plummer Blocks
These blocks are available in metric sizes and are designed for heavy loads. They offer a choice of bore designs and multiple sealing options to suit different industrial environments.
Shelf Life and Storage
Timken provides guidelines for the shelf life and storage of grease-lubricated bearings. Proper storage is crucial to maintain product integrity, and deviations from recommended practices may reduce shelf life.
Storage and Handling Guidelines
Timken provides specific guidelines for the storage and handling of their bearing components to ensure optimal performance. The storage temperature should be between 0°C (32°F) and 40°C (104°F) with minimal fluctuations, and relative humidity should be below 60%. The storage area must be free from contaminants and vibrations, and extreme conditions should be avoided.
Warnings and Cautions
Timken emphasizes the importance of proper maintenance and handling to prevent equipment failure and potential safety hazards. Overheated bearings can ignite explosive atmospheres, so special care is needed in such environments.
Product Features and Benefits
Timken's Type E housed units feature premium tapered roller bearings with a 113% increase in calculated life and 25% more load capacity compared to standard bearings. These units are suitable for various industrial applications, including pulp and paper, power generation, and waste-water treatment.
Engineering and Bearing Life Calculations
The engineering section provides guidance on selecting Type E housed units, considering factors like bearing fatigue life, rotational precision, and environmental conditions. Bearing life is statistically evaluated using the Weibull distribution function, and the L10 life is calculated based on dynamic load ratings.
Specifications and Methods for Bearing Selection
Method 1 – Selection Table (Radial Loads Only): This method involves using a selection table to determine the appropriate bearing based on radial loads.
Method 2 – Bearing Life Equation (Radial Loads Only): If a different L10 life is needed, the bearing life equation can be used to calculate it.
Method 3A – Combined Radial and Thrust Loads: This method calculates an equivalent dynamic radial bearing load for applications with combined radial and thrust loads.
ISO Method 3B: This method uses an equation to determine the equivalent dynamic radial load, considering both radial and axial loads.
ISO Method 4 – Thrust Only Applications: For thrust-only applications, a specific equation is used to determine the equivalent radial load.
Installation and Lubrication
  • Installation: Ensure shafts are clean, free from nicks, straight, and of proper diameter. Align housed units and shafts, using full shims if necessary.
  • Lubrication: Bearings are prelubricated with Timken Premium All Purpose Industrial Grease. Relubricate with compatible grease for roller bearings.
Relubrication Cycle
Relubrication frequency depends on operating temperature and contamination. Higher temperatures require more frequent grease replenishment.
