Technical Specifications Overview:
1. General Description: RTB HS bearings are designed for high-speed applications such as turning and milling machine tables. They are available in two versions: ungreased (RTB***HS) and greased (RTB***HS-G) with lithium soap-based grease.
2. Stiffness: The stiffness values consider the deformation of all bearing components and assembled parts. Axial stiffness is calculated with the load applied top-down.
3. Assembly Instructions: For high-speed applications, avoid interference or press fit during mounting to facilitate operating speed.
4. Operating Speed: Operating speeds are determined experimentally. Continuous speeds are considered nominal, while peak speeds are achievable in brief transitory phases.
5. Lubrication: Grease type is lithium soap with a viscosity of 55 cSt at 40°C, NLGI 2. Relubrication intervals are 500 hours under optimal conditions and speeds below nominal. For higher speeds, intervals should be 330 hours.
6. Preload and Temperature Differences: Temperature differences between the shaft and housing can affect bearing operation. Higher inner ring temperatures increase radial preload and contact stress, leading to increased rolling torque and heat generation. Lower inner ring temperatures decrease preload, affecting rigidity and causing wear.
Dimensional and Performance Data: Tables provide detailed specifications for various RTB models, including friction torque, rolling torque, operating speeds, lubrication requirements, and dimensional tolerances. Key parameters such as bore size, radial and axial stiffness, and preload conditions are outlined.
Recommendations: Ensure proper lubrication and assembly to maintain optimal performance. Regularly check and adjust relubrication intervals based on operating conditions.
Specifications: The document discusses the RTB HS series bearings, which use lithium soap grease with a viscosity of 55 cSt at 40°C. It emphasizes the importance of maintaining temperature differences between rotating and fixed components within a few degrees Celsius to prevent bearing damage. High-speed applications require careful temperature monitoring and control to avoid excessive preload or clearance generation.
Procedures: For new applications with RTB-HS bearings, consulting the technical service is recommended. The document also provides a dimensional table for various RTB HS models, detailing specifications such as axial and radial runout, suitable table diameter, and other dimensions.
Standards and Recommendations: The document highlights the need for an adequate cooling system for bearings in high-speed continuous operations. It also mentions the importance of ensuring that adjacent components can dissipate generated heat.

RTB TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS SPECIFICHE TECNICHE The preload of the bearings increases the stiffness and the rotational accuracy. In presence of a load from the outside, the preload of the bearing eliminates or avoids the clearance corresponding to the elastic yielding due to the load itself. In this case, for a given range of loads, the elastic deformations caused by the load are smaller rather than in a non-preloaded bearing. Assuming approximately the stiffness is linear (rollers in contact with tracks) at the same axial load, the axial deflection is smaller in a preloaded bearings system...

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS SPECIFICHE TECNICHE5. FRICTION ■ As for the bearings, the friction depends on many factors, the most important of which are: ■ preload ■ viscosity and amount of the lubricant ■ applied load ■ bearing size ■ rotational speed i.e.: ■ A bigger preload turns out in a bigger rolling friction torque ■ Tightening values affect considerably riotion values. As for RTB bearings the fixing of the inner ring screws reduces to zero the dimensional c r inner axial clearance as well as the elastic comp1' ssion of the inner ring. In general we recommend to use bolt class 10.9 and recommend...
