HOWDEN BUFFALO ON REBABBITING



Howden Buffalo, Inc does not rebabbit liners nor do we recommend that liners be
rebabbited.

The Sturtevant (Howden Buffalo) bearings are babbited by a process of a Kolene
electrolytic cleaning system to assure babbit adhesion, acid pickling, hand tinning, and a
unique patented centrifugal babbiting process to insure uniform density. This yields a
high quality sleeve with a minimum 85% babbit contact by ultrasonic test, but typically
98-99%, with no porosity or other defects.

A typical re-babitter will skip most of these steps, especially the centrifugal casting, and
will end up with possibly as little as 15-25% contact by ultrasound, plus other defects
such as porosity, wrong type of babbit, eccentricity due to improper fixturing, wrong bore
size, taper or tilted bore, elliptical versus cylindrical bore confusion, wrong or no thrust
pockets, wrong or no oil passages, wrong length, no reconditioning of the spherical seats,
etc. In other words the re-babbited sleeve will likely have one or more of these defects,
and will simply be far from OEM quality. Howden Buffalo itself does not re-babbit
sleeves due to the difficulty of reconditioning the sleeve casting; especially the spherical
seat area, even though Howden Buffalo offers a discount of 25% off the price of a new
sleeve for the return of a repairable sleeve. The details of the bearing sleeve exchange
program are located on page 6 of section 4.03 of the Parts and Service price book.

Please feel free to call or e-mail me if you require any additional information. Thank you.

To: All Sales Representatives

Subject: Sturtevant Bearing Domestic Manufacturing


Over the last 8 months we have been transferring the manufacture of our Westinghouse
Sturtevant HD and SAWC bearing line from a European supply to a supply stateside.

We are now manufacturing all parts in the US. This move was driven by a desire to
improve our lead times on parts, eliminate the additional shipping and duty costs
associated with overseas shipments, and ultimately to better serve our customers.

The availability of material and the US regulations associated with pouring lead made it
necessary for us to change our standard babbitt material from a lead based recipe to a tin
based one. For all our fan applications a tin based babbitt is a suitable replacement for our
lead based babbitt. This switch will not create any performance issues and will not affect
the price for our sleeves.

Please take note that our price list has been revised changing the sleeve part numbers
from the lead based part number to the new tin based part number. For the HD bearing,
the sleeve part number changes from a G006 part number to a G003 part number. For
the SAWC bearing, the sleeve part number changes from a G004 part number to a
G005 part number.

We still have some lead based sleeves in inventory. Please note that this inventory will be
supplied until its exhausted. To help insure that the correct part numbers appear on our
customers paperwork and on our paperwork please check for inventory through Anne
Horrigan when an order is eminent to see what part number will be supplied. We anticipate
that the lead inventory should be depleted by the end of 2006.

Please keep a copy of this letter with your price list.

Thank you for your continued support.

STURTEVANT SAWC BEARING

Bearing description

The Sturtevant Self Aligning Water Cooled sleeve bearings are available in six sizes ranging from 2 15/16
to 8. The bearings are a split self-aligning design and although more commonly cooled with water have
been supplied as air and as oil cooled. The babbitted sleeves are bored slightly elliptical to provide a
wedging action of the oil between the shaft and the journal. This design insures a flow of oil over the entire
length of the bearing surface, with the excess oil being forced to lubricate the thrust faces before returning
to the bearing sump.

For normal applications, ring oiling may be used with all sizes up to 1200 rpm and up to 6
diameter at 1800 rpm, dependent on radial and thrust loading. Each bearing comes with two split,
brass oil rings. Friction with the shaft causes the rings to rotate, carrying a supply of oil from the
sump to the shaft in the support area. With higher loads and rpms supplemental oil may be
required from an external oil lubrication system.

Both the upper and lower halves of the bearing sleeves are provided with cored passages for the
cooling medium. Inlet and outlet pipes for each half, pass through the bearing cap (top half of
housing), for access. Also on top of the bearing housing, directly above the oil rings are two
inspection ports with removable caps. This allows frequent checks to verify that the rings are
moving.

When the SAWC bearing is to be used with a circulating oil system, special supply nozzles are
located in the inspection ports in such a manner that the rings can still be observed. In addition,
two drilled and tapped openings are provided in the bearing body for connection of oil return lines.
The bottom of the openings maintains a minimum oil level above the oil rings to give standby
protection. Drawing 247C101details a typical bearing arrangement of this type. Refer to
Application Data 1301 page 13 for a piping schematic of circulation piping for an SAWC
bearing. Additional information pertaining to the piping schematic and bearing connection
arrangement for flood lubrication (circulating oil system) is detailed on drawing 683B599.

A less common method which was used to provide oil circulation cooling to SAWC bearings
involved feeding the oil through the jackets in the sleeve. A specially machined sleeve was
supplied which included drilled holes and pathways through the jackets and Babbitt, which
allowed the oil to travel from the jacket and onto the shaft journal surface. The details of this
arrangement are some on drawings 695C897 and 499D266.

Refer to the Howden Instruction Book under section 6.2 for installation, cooling arrangement data, start up,
and maintenance of these bearings.















Thrust Collars

Two thrust collars are required on the fixed bearing end. Thrust collar is not required for floating bearing
except as the bearing seal used requires.. The collars are non-split and are mounted with a shrink fit. When
thrust collars are installed in the factory they are finished machined on the shaft perpendicular and true.
Field replacement collars in the Howden Buffalo Parts and Service price book are machined complete.

Two basic types exist:

Original type Consists of bearing end cap (to be used w/ interlocking thrust collar) and garlock
auxiliary dust seal rings.

New type Cork Seal w/ Cork Seal retainer


Seal Applications

The following seals are offered on SAWC bearings:

Original Seal type All sizes

- Split design consists of a holding ring, two seal rings (garlock) and a spacer ring
- Seal bolts onto the bearing end cap to provide additional sealing to interlocking thrust
collar/end cap seal
- Most common seal for SAWC bearing
- All parts stocked in Dearborn


New Seal type (post 1969) All sizes

- Also listed as standard seal
- Consists of a single split cork seal and garter spring, with an end cap gasket and seal retainer
(housing)
- Used without the bearing end cap
- Can be used with either thrust collar type
- Can be supplied as a double cork seal assembly (listed as standard seal w/ auxiliary seal)
- Cork seals and garter springs are stocked in Dearborn, the retainers typically are not stocked
- Provides a better seal than original type

WARNING
Refer to applicable Contract/Main Assembly and
Bearing Drawings for identification and location of
parts.
NOTE
Certain Bearing parts which are machined as a unit
and split for installation, are match-marked to assure
correct reassembly. The match-marks are stamped on
both halves of the parts. Parts are made in batches
and are stamped in numerical sequence. All parts of
the Bearing do not have the same number - i.e.;
Housing may be stamped 18 and the sleeve 27, etc.
NOTE
The following installation instructions call for the use
of rubber sealing compound similar to PERMATEX

a straight edge. Any high spots around nicks or gouges must be removed
to permit full contact with shims. Install lower half of Bearing Housing
on top of Bearing Pedestal. (See Figure 6.2-1.) Bearing Housing must be
installed with larger tapped holes at bottom of Housing, outboard (away
from fan).
Prior to aligning unit, it is essential that two (2) full width shims of
approximately 1/16 inch total thickness be placed between base of
Bearing Housing and top of supports. These shims should be slotted as
shown in Figure 6.2-1.
17. Bolt lower Bearing Housing to Pedestal, secure with bolts, hardened
steel flat washers, and nuts provided. Nuts are to be only finger-tight at
this time to allow for adjustment.
NOTE
Shims should be made in two (2) parts and slotted to clear
the Bearing bolts, thus allowing easy installation or
removal. The shims should be solid and extend across the
top of the Bearing Pedestals.
These shims are not for alignment of the Fan Rotor to
Driver. They are used to level the Rotor, end-to-end, and to
allow for any variation in Bearing Housing height if a
replacement should be necessary.
Should it become necessary to replace the Bearings, these
shims will help and may be used to preserve the alignment
of Bearings, Shaft, and Coupling, if the foundation changes
slightly in elevation from end-to-end.
18. Tap out and remove two (2) locating dowel pins in Sleeve. Dowels are
straight shank. (See Photo 16.)

INSTALLATION
NOTE
Before installing Sleeves on Shafts, other non-split
components to be installed with Rotor (Vane and Inlet
Assemblies, Pressurized Shaft Seals, etc.) should be placed
on Rotor and securely fastened in their lifting position.
These components, Vane and Inlet Assemblies, Pressurized
Shaft Seals, may have an inner diameter sufficient to clear
the outer diameter of Sleeve. However, it is safer to install
these items first. Refer to Section 5.7 Rotor Installation.
NOTE
Historically, bearings with Thrust Grooves on babbitted
Thrust Faces indicated that the Bearing Sleeve must be
installed on the fixed Bearing End of Rotor. Grooves were
normally furnished on one Sleeve per Fan only. Today, only
grooved sleeves are supplied and can be used on either
fixed or floating ends.
NOTE
During reassembly, torque all fastenings to values listed in
Section 5.10.
NOTE
The following instructions call for the use of fluid rubber
gasket or Sealing Compound (similar to PERMATEX Form-
A-Gasket #2 or equal) on Internal Pipe Threads, Housing
Split Joints, and Auxiliary Seals. It is recommended that
these NOT be applied until final pre start-up service is
performed to ease disassembly for inspection.
When fluid rubber gasket or sealing compound is used, it
must be a thin film only. Excess quantities will squeeze out
of joints when bolts are torqued, and may cause serious
damage to Bearings or accessories.
22. Identify location of match-marks in Step 20. Raise lower Sleeve Half
to Shaft Journal with extreme care, preventing damage to machined
surfaces. (See Photo 19.)

STURTEVANT HD BEARING


Bearing description

The Sturtevant Heavy Duty sleeve bearings are available in eight (8) sizes ranging from 3 15/16 to 14.
These bearings have a split self-aligning design and can be furnished for non-cooled, air-cooled or water
cooled operation. They can also be arranged for circulating oil system use. The babbitted sleeves are
furnished with a cylindrical bore to maintain a close control of the oil film.

These bearings have been designed with the following features:

A positive oil disc system that provides lubrication to the shaft journal within a few revolutions
upon start-up for operation at all speeds above 100 RPM, and during coast down. An oil conveyor
disc is fastened to the thrust collar on the rotating shaft to continuously carries oil from the
reservoir in the lower housing. This oil is transferred from the disc to a scoop and guide located
above the sleeve, which channels this oil into the journal area and thrust face through a groove in
the sleeve. This oil lubricates and cools the journal and thrust surfaces and returns to the reservoir
to remove the generated heat. This system provides an uninterrupted flow of oil from the
conveyor disc to the shaft journals whenever the shaft is rotating.

The sleeve and housing halves are machined with mating spherical surfaces to provide 360
support. The spherical sleeve support of the bearing housing furnishes the selfaligning feature of
the bearing to provide increased alignment capability and stiff rotor support.

The bearings are designed with a straight through cooling system to provide contamination free
operation. The heat transfer surface of the bearing is located in the lower housing half and runs
straight through the oil reservoir. As the oil circulates over the sleeve and journal surfaces, it not
only provides lubrication, but absorbs the heat generated by the bearing. This heat is removed
from the reservoir by the coolant running through the straight through transfer surface eliminating
the possibility of coolant leaking into the oil.

The bearings are provided with a felt wiper at each end of the bearing housing. A cork seal for
low speed or bushing type seal for high speed operation is located outboard of the felt seal.
Auxiliary seals can be furnished to provide increase protection to the oil.

The bearing sleeve and housing are split into upper and lower sections to permit easy installation
and maintenance. The sleeves are removed or replaced by rotating out the lower half from the
lower housing half. To reduce downtime, all the water and oil connections are located on the
lower half of the bearing housing, which eliminates breaking these connections for normal
inspection and maintenance.

Refer to the Howden Instruction Book under Section 6.1 for installation, cooling arrangement data,
accessories, lubricant selection, start-up, and maintenance of these bearings. Additional information
pertaining to the piping schematic and bearing connection arrangement for flood lubrication (Circulating oil
system) is available in Section 7 of these Instruction Books

Thrust Collars

Thrust Collar Identification:

Standard thrust collars are identified on the following drawings:

Inboard Thrust Collar 696B601
Outboard Thrust Collar 696B602

Standard thrust collars are designed to be factory installed and finish machined on the shaft.

Field replacement collars are machined complete and have tapped holes for handling purposes. No
machining is required after installation.

Field Replacement Inboard Thrust Collar 1591B34
Field Replacement Outboard Thrust Collar 1591B35

Inboard collars are different from outboard collars in that inboard collars have additional machining and
drilled and tapped holes to accept the oil conveyor disc. Inboard collars may be substituted for outboard
collars, but not vice-versa.


Orifice Partition

The satisfactory operation of a self contained oil-film journal bearing depends on its ability to continually
transfer oil from its sump to the cavities between the bearing sleeve and the shaft. In a HD bearing this
process is carried out by the orifice partition, the oil conveyor disc, and the oil scoop and guide.

The orifice partition is located at the sump level of a HD bearing. It acts as a dam and has a hole or holes,
which are located and sized to allow the proper flow of oil to be deposited into the oil conveyor disc. The
oil conveyor disc is fastened to the shaft through the bearing inboard thrust collar and rotates at the shaft
rpm. The oil conveyor disc carries the oil to the top of the sleeve where the scoop and guide directs the oil
into the sleeves oil passage.

The proper function of the orifice partition is dependent on the distance between itself and the oil conveyor
disc. It is therefore dependent on the location of the expansion bearing collar.

There are two types of orifice partitions available for the HD bearing. They are the standard orifice
partition and the orifice partition with trough. The orifice partition with trough must be used when the
distance between the orifice partition and the oil conveyor disc exceeds certain limits based on bearing size.

Calculations are made taking into account temperature and shaft expansion, to determine the orifice plate
type required (consult Howden Buffalo).

STURTEVANT HD BEARING

Short Ended Heavy Duty Bearing (SEHD)

In 1983 a short housing version of the 5 HD bearing was designed. The intent was to use this bearing as a
retrofit for SAWC and SARO bearings and, on new applications, to take advantage of the opportunity to
reduce bearing spans, reducing the rotor weight by reducing the size of the shaft forging. This results in a
cost savings.

The 5 SEHD is essentially a standard 5 HD with a modified housing. The housing overall length was
reduced by approximately 2 inches on the end away from the oil conveyor disc making the housing non-
symmetrical about its centerline. The bearing mounting footprint and centerline height are identical to the
standard HD bearing.

In order to take advantage of the opportunities to reduce bearing span (compared to a standard HD) on
arrangement 3 type fans or to reduce bearing-to-impellor overhand distances on arrangement 1 type fans,
the SEHD must be installed with its short end towards the fan casing. This places the oil conveyor disc on
the bearing end away from the fan casing. This is opposite of the conventional HD bearing installation,
which has the oil conveyor disc end of the bearing nearest the fan casing.

The SEHD may also be applied where reduced bearing span or reduced overhang is not required but only
reduced overall length is needed. For these circumstances, the bearing may be oriented with either end
closest to the fan casing.

The operating limits of the SEHD (speed, load, temperature, oil film thickness) are the same as for the
standard HD.

A special reduced thickness thrust collar must be used on the short end of the non-expansion bearing due to
reduced space inside the bearing housing (P/N 4495B63).

For further description and dimensions of the SEHD bearing refer to the following drawings:

Outline Drawing 2091F38
Assembly & Outline 2091F33

Bolt-On Seals (Labyrinth Type)

In 1989, a bolt-on labyrinth type seal was designed for the 5 H.D. bearing as a retrofit to combat cork seal
leaking problems encountered on 1800 rpm applications. For these applications it was found that oil level
was critical, and therefore, a special orifice partition and oil level sight gage must be furnished with the
seals.

In 1991, it became policy to apply the bolt-on seal package to all new 5 H.D. and SEHD bearings which
were to be operated at or above 1800 rpm.

Assembly drawing numbers are as follows:

5 H.D. Bearing with bolt-on seals, both ends open 5943C59G001

Seal Assembly 2452D07G001
Outline Drawing 5943C61
Field Retrofit Package and Details 5926C87

A similar seal was developed for the 3 15/16 H.D. bearing for a particular application and has been applied
several times. Special orifice partition and oil level sight gage are not required. Refer to drawing 5942C14.
STURTEVANT HD BEARING



Oil Disk Wipers (Slow speed operation)

The oil disk wiper is an optional feature of the H.D. bearing which should be applied to all self-contained
bearings which are expected to run for significant periods of time at slow speeds (less than 100 rpm), such
as turning gear applications. Its purpose is to assure that a sufficient flow of oil is furnished to the bearing
journal when the flow of oil produced by the oil conveyor disk may not be sufficient due to low speed
operation.

The principle of operation of the oil disk wiper is simple. The wiper is a strip of rubber fastened to the
bearing cap internal to the bearing housing. It is positioned over the oil conveyor disk to act as a
squeegee , removing excess oil from the OD of the disk and directing it into the scoop and guide.

It is not necessary to provide oil disk wipers on bearings with forced feed lubrication systems. The forced
feed system provides a constant flow of oil regardless of the bearing operating speed.

Oil disk wiper assemblies have been developed for bearing sizes 5 through 10 (including the 5 SEHD).
Refer to assembly drawing 2467D96. For field installation details refer to drawing 5943C04.

It is essential that two full width shims of approximately 1/16 total
thickness be placed between base of Bearing Housing and top of supports
prior to aligning unit. These shims should be slotted as shown in Figure
6.1-1. (Shims not supplied by HBI).
NOTE
Large fans designed for elevated temperature operation,
may have the floating Bearing supplied with a Trough on
the Orifice Partition as shown in Figure 6.1-2.
The standard Orifice Partition is shown in Figure 6.1-3
Check both Bearing Housing bottom halves and insure that
those with Orifice Partitions having a Trough are installed
on floating bearing side of fan.
NOTE
Shims should be made in two (2) parts and slotted to clear
the Bearing bolts, thus allowing easy installation or
removal. The shims should be solid and extend across the
top of the Bearing Pedestals.
These shims are not for alignment of the fan Rotor to
driver. They are used to level the Rotor, end-to-end, and to
allow for any variation in Bearing Housing height if a

INSTALLATION
NOTE
Before installing Sleeves on Shafts , other non-split
components to be installed with Rotor (Vane and Inlet
Assembly, Pressurized Shaft Seals, etc.) should be placed
on Rotor and securely fastened in their lifting position.
These components, Vane and Inlet Assemblies and
Pressurized Shaft Seals, may have an inner diameter
sufficient to clear the outer diameter of Sleeve and Anti-
Rotation Pin, however, it is safer to install these items first.
Refer to Section 5.4 - Rotor Installation. (See Photo 13)
NOTE
Historically, bearings with Thrust Grooves on babbitted
Thrust Faces indicated that the Bearing Sleeve must be
installed on the fixed Bearing End of Rotor. Photo 14
shows Thrust Grooves. Grooves were normally furnished
on one Sleeve per Fan only. Today, only grooved sleeves
are supplied and can be used on either fixed or floating
ends.
NOTE
During reassembly, torque all fastenings to values listed in
Section 5.10.
NOTE
The following instructions call for the use of thread locking
compound (similar to Loctite or equal) on all internal
threads and fluid rubber gasket or sealing compound
(similar to Permatex Form-A-Gasket #2 or equal) on
Housing split joints and Auxiliary Seals. It is recommended
that these NOT be applied until final pre-start up service is
performed to ease disassembly for inspection.
When fluid rubber gasket or sealing compound is used, it
must be a thin film only. Excess quantities will squeeze out
of joints when bolts are torqued and may cause serious
damage to Bearings or accessories.
