INTRODUCTION

The modular design of the SLEEVOIL DIN
Pedestal Bearing allows the use of multiple sizes of
liners and oil seals in addition to different types of
oil seals, all with the same housing. All housings Table 1 lists the sizes of the external connections
and liners have nameplates attached. The (see drawing below) that can be made to the lower
nameplates give a unique number which fully part of the bearing housing. The thread form is

INSTALLATION OF LOWER HOUSING
Check the mounting structure for proper machining
and that it is clean and free from burrs. Inspect the
shaft to ensure it is smooth (Ra 0,63 mm,
equivalent to 25 microinches Ra surface finish or
better), free of burrs or rough spots and clean.
On housing sizes P-9 through P-18, the lifting
eyebolts in the housing cap are the same thread
size as the cap screw holes in the lower housing
joint. These eyebolts may be placed diagonally on With the shaft raised slightly, place the lower

mounting screws. The screws will be fully tightened
after the housing-to-shaft alignment is checked.

Use Grade 8.8 socket head or hex head cap screws.
If specified, install the two optional oil dams.
INSTALLATION OF LOWER LINER AND SHAFT The oil dam is a small piece of preformed sheet
metal used to direct more oil into the liner axial
feed groove.
The bore and thrust faces of the liner assembly are
critical machined surfaces which are easily
damaged. Use care in handling to protect these
surfaces. Failure to observe these precautions may
result in damage to or destruction of the equipment.
The lower liner half is identified by its continuous
babbitted surface on the inner diameter. The
upper liner half has an oil ring slot in the center of
the babbitted bore.
Clean the threaded holes for the 4 liner joint screws
with cleaning solvent and dry. If optional oil dams
are specified, also clean their 2 threaded mounting
holes.

Each oil dam is attached to the lower liner using an
8mm long button head cap screw. Clean the
screws with cleaning solvent and dry. Place one
drop of Loctite 242 on each screw. Install the
screws and torque to the value listed in Table 3.
