Proper storage conditions include maintaining temperature between 0ºC and 40ºC, humidity below 60%, and avoiding extreme conditions. Products should remain in original packaging until ready for use.
Cylindrical Roller Bearings
Timken cylindrical roller bearings are designed for high performance in harsh environments and high radial loads. They offer cooler operating temperatures, high durability, and longer-lasting performance, contributing to reduced overall operating costs. Each bearing is supported by a global team of experts providing design and application knowledge.
Specifications
Radial cylindrical roller bearings consist of an inner and/or outer ring and cylindrical rollers. Depending on the bearing style, either the inner or outer ring has two roller-guiding ribs, while the other ring is separable and may have one rib or none. These bearings are available in various types, including single-row, full-complement, two-row, and four-row designs, with sizes ranging from 60 mm to 2000 mm.
Industry Applications
Timken cylindrical roller bearings are used in various industries, including power generation, oil fields, gear drives, mining, and wind energy, among others.
Engineering and Design
The engineering section covers topics such as bearing design types, cage design types, fitting practices, and lubrication recommendations. It serves as a guide for selecting the appropriate cylindrical roller bearing.
Mounting and Fitting Practices
Cylindrical roller bearings can be mounted individually or in combination with other bearings. The document provides guidelines for interference fits, which are crucial for preventing inner rings from creeping or turning, potentially causing wear and damage.
Setting and Installation
Proper setting involves considering fitting practices and thermal gradients. Interference fits reduce radial clearance, and adjustments may be necessary for high-speed applications. The document advises against operating bearings in a preloaded condition to avoid damage.
Radial Internal Clearance
The document lists radial internal clearance limits for cylindrical roller bearings, categorized by bore size and clearance class (C2, C0, C3, C4, C5). It highlights the importance of selecting the correct clearance based on operating precision, speed, and fitting practice.
Warnings
The document includes safety warnings, emphasizing the importance of proper maintenance, handling, and lubrication practices to prevent injury and equipment damage.
Figures and Tables
The document contains tables listing critical tolerances and recommended fitting practices, as well as figures illustrating bearing assemblies and gear reducers.
Specifications and Clearances
The document begins by discussing the clearance calculation for cylindrical roller bearings, highlighting that the minimum mounted clearance is less than the recommended minimum, necessitating a reevaluation of the C3 ric clearance limit.
Mounting and Installation Procedures
The document outlines two primary methods for mounting bearings: the heat expansion method and the arbor press method.
Safety and Precautions
Several safety notes are provided, including avoiding the use of steam or hot water for cleaning bearings to prevent rust, and not exposing bearings to open flames.
Shaft and Housing Fits
The document includes detailed tables specifying shaft and housing fits for various operating conditions. These tables provide guidelines for selecting the appropriate fit based on load limits and shaft diameters.
Key Tables and Figures
The document includes tables for NLGI grease classifications and a grease compatibility chart, highlighting the importance of selecting the right grease for specific applications. Additionally, detailed tables provide dimensions, load ratings, and other specifications for various bearing types.
Lubrication and Grease Management
Proper lubrication is crucial for bearing performance. Grease can become thinner, reducing its lubricating effect and increasing leakage. Excess grease can cause churning, increasing torque. Ample space in the housing allows excess grease to be expelled, but grease must be retained around the bearing. In low-speed applications, housing can be filled with grease to prevent contamination. During non-operation, fill housings with grease for protection, but remove excess before restarting.
Grease Application Methods
Grease is easier to use than oil for industrial bearings. Bearings initially packed with grease require periodic relubrication. Grease should be packed between rolling elements, and a small amount should be smeared on the outside. High operating temperatures and inefficient seals require more frequent regreasing. Consult equipment manufacturers or Timken engineers for regreasing cycles.
Grease Consistency and Compatibility
Grease consistency varies from semi-fluids to solid grades. Consistency is measured by penetration number, with classifications by the National Lubricating Grease Institute (NLGI). Mixing greases can lead to improper lubrication, so follow equipment supplier instructions.
Conclusion
Timken's cylindrical roller bearings are engineered for demanding applications, offering high load capacity, durability, and flexibility in design. The catalog serves as a comprehensive guide for selecting and applying these bearings in industrial settings.

TIMKEN Overview Most bearing types are typically shipped protected with a corrosionpreventive compound that is not a lubricant. Such bearings may be used in oil-lubricated applications without removal of the corrosionpreventive compound. When using some specialized grease lubrications, it is advisable to remove the corrosion-preventive compound before packing the bearings with suitable grease. Some bearing types in this catalog are pre-packed with general purpose grease suitable for their normal application. Frequent replenishment of the grease may be necessary for optimum performance. Care must...
