DODGE S-2000 SPHERICAL ROLLER BEARINGS
GENERAL INFORMATION
DODGE S-2000 Spherical Roller Bearing mounted units incor-
porate a unique way of sealing the internal components of the
bearing while still allowing a full + or - 1 degree of misalignment.
The patented sealing system (Pat. #5,908,249) has proven
effective, due to its constant contact pressure, in protecting the
internal bearing components under maximum allowable misaligned
conditions.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
NON-EXPANSION BEARING
WARNING
TO ENSURE THAT DRIVE IS NOT UNEXPECTEDLY
STARTED, TURN OFF AND LOCK OUT OR TAG POWER
SOURCE BEFORE PROCEEDING. FAILURE TO
OBSERVE THESE PRECAUTIONS MAY RESULT IN
BODILY INJURY.
1. Clean shaft and bore of bearing. The shaft should be
straight, free of burrs and nicks, and correct size (see
shaft tolerance table). If used shafting is utilized, then
the bearing should be mounted on unworn section of
shafting.
2. Lubricate shaft and bearing bore with grease or oil to
facilitate assembly. Slip bearing into position. When light
press fit is required, press against the end of the inner
ring of bearing. Do not strike or exert pressure on the
housing or seals.
3. Bolt bearing to support, using shims where necessary to
align bearing so inner ring does not rub on seal carrier.
Use full shims which extend across the entire housing
base.
4. Determine final shaft postion and tighten setscrews in the
locking collar(s) of non-expansion bearing to recom-
mended torque while the other bearings remain free.
Rotate the shaft slowly under load, if possible, to prop-
erly center the rolling elements with respect to the
raceways. Then tighten setscrews into the locking collar
of the remaining bearings to the recommended torque.
5. Check rotation. If there is any strain, irregular rotational
torque or vibration, it could be due to incorrect
alignment, bent shaft or bent supports. Installation
should be rechecked and correction made where
necessary.
