Achieve optimum centrifugal pump performance

By David R. Mikalonis, SKF USA Inc.
ChemicalProcessing.com
Proper bearings, lubrication and seals as well as proactive maintenance are crucial.
Centrifugal process pumps often must perform in hostile and stressful operating conditions. As a result, the likelihood of
their premature failure increases over time raising risks of incurring considerable costs and lost productivity from
downtime. With pressures mounting to achieve better pump reliability, reduced maintenance and lower energy
consumption, the quest to identify and implement viable solutions for relief ranks as a top priority.
Evaluating pump maintenance and repair practices paying particular attention to bearings, lubrication and seals can
serve as a crucial tool for attaining higher levels of pump reliability and longer service life. The proper bearings, lubricants
and sealing systems can boost economies and efficiencies and, when supported by proactive condition-monitoring
approaches, can help extend the service life of pumps and minimize the need for untimely pump replacement or rebuilds.
Selecting the bearings

Bearings in centrifugal pumps support hydraulic loads imposed on the impeller, the mass of the impeller and shaft, as
well as loads due to couplings and drive systems.
They also keep the shaft axial and radial deflections within acceptable limits for the impeller and shaft seal.
A variety of conditions tend to continually put bearings in many centrifugal pumps to the test. The bearings often will face
high axial loads, marginal lubrication, and high operating temperatures and vibration, all while the bearings attempt to
minimize friction which, if uncontrolled, can result in power loss, excessive heat generation, increased noise or wear,
and early bearing failure.
All these influences can dramatically impact the service life and reliability of bearings and, in turn, pumps. So, first and
foremost, evaluate bearings (types, designs and arrangements) in the context of their anticipated operating environment.
Suitable bearings are available to satisfy even the most difficult conditions faced by centrifugal pumps. As an example,
thrust-type bearings (to support axial loads created by hydraulic forces in the pump) include various versions of angular
contact ball bearings that suit many applications:
Single-row 40 angular contact ball bearings. These are the most popular API pump thrust bearings in service today and
generally are used in moderate-speed centrifugal pumps where high thrust loads can be expected.
Variations designed with robust machined brass cages suit applications where thrust loads vary greatly during operation
and periods of ball skidding are likely. These bearings also will resist destructive vibration forces should cavitation occur.
They normally are mounted in back-to-back paired arrangements to accommodate reversing thrust loads and to provide
adequate shaft support to promote long
mechanical-seal life.
Pay particular attention to internal clearance.
When mounted and at operating temperature,
the bearings should have enough residual
internal clearance to operate cool but not so
much as to promote skidding of the inactive
bearing.
Double-row angular contact ball bearings.
These (Figure 1) are used extensively as the
primary thrust bearing in ANSI standard
centrifugal pumps and some older API-style
pumps. The most effective types feature a
Conrad-design, ABEC-3 precision tolerances,
a 30 contact angle per row, one-piece heattreated pressed steel cages, and multiple
sealing options. Because their contact angles
diverge outwardly, the bearings exhibit
greater rigidity and increased resistance to
misalignment. As with paired single-row
angular contact ball bearings, operating conditions dictate the need for normal or greater-than-normal (C3) internal radial
clearance.
Design variations are becoming more popular. Examples include steeper (40) contact angles to deliver increased thrust
capacity, machined brass cages to offer robust performance under heavy-duty and poor-lubrication conditions, reduced
axial internal clearances to promote load sharing between the two rows of balls and a reduced possibility of skidding in
the inactive ball set, and ABEC-3 (P6) tolerances to contribute better control of the bearings mounted condition and
smoother bearing operation.
Specialized angular contact ball bearing sets. For pumps with minimal thrust, paired 15 angular contact bearings
generally suffice. However, for high-thrust-load conditions, use high-performance matched sets of 40 and 15 angular
contact ball bearings to provide improved robustness by reducing the susceptibility of ball skidding in the inactive
bearing. These designs are intended for centrifugal pumps that dont reverse or only periodically reverse.
The primary benefit of these sets is that the 15 bearing is designed with considerably less internal clearance than the
40 bearing, making it less susceptible to centrifugal and gyroscopic forces producing ball sliding and shuttling, while
providing additional radial stiffness to maintain integrity of the shaft and seals.
Split-inner-ring angular contact ball bearing sets. These, by matching a single-row 40 angular contact ball bearing with a
split-inner-ring ball bearing or four-point contact ball bearing, are designed to accommodate thrust loads in either
direction. This arrangement commonly is used in vertical pumps to handle the primary thrust load but also can be utilized
in horizontal arrangements, provided the loading is such that the split-inner-ring bearing doesnt support radial load on its
own.
Because two bearings acting in tandem share the thrust load, this arrangement offers an extremely high thrust-carrying
capacity. Reversing thrust load can be accommodated on the backside of the split-inner-ring bearing. These two-bearing
sets behave like triplex sets with the added advantage of saving space and costs.
Supplying the lubrication
Proper lubrication for pump bearings is essential for reliable service improper lubrication accounts for more than 30%
of bearing failures, according to some studies.
Good lubricants primarily provide a separating film between a bearings rolling elements, raceways and cages to prevent
metal-to-metal contact and undesired friction that otherwise would generate excessive heat that could cause wear, metal
fatigue and potential fusing of the bearing contact surfaces. Adequate lubrication for bearings also acts to inhibit wear
and corrosion and help guard against contamination damage.
The common methods for the effective lubrication of pump bearings include:
Grease. Easy to apply, grease can be retained within a bearings housing and provides extra sealing protection.
Depending on the rotational speeds and operating temperatures, relubrication may be required to combat short grease
life.
When the operating conditions allow, greased-for-life bearings, which eliminate requirements for relubrication and
related maintenance tasks, can offer an attractive alternative.
Oil bath. This option establishes an oil level at the center of the bearings bottom rolling element and represents the
comparative baseline of bearing friction among the lubrication methods. Best results over time can be achieved using a
constant-level oiler.
Oil ring. In this method, an oil ring is suspended from the horizontal shaft into an oil bath positioned below the bearings.
The rotation of the shaft and ring flings oil from the bath onto the bearings. The lower oil volume in the bearing reduces
the viscous friction in the bearing system to allow higher shaft speeds and better cooling.
Oil mist and air-oil. Here, oil is atomized and carried by an air stream to the bearing. Among all pump bearing lubrication
approaches, this one generates the least amount of friction (allowing rotational speed to be based on the bearing design
instead of lubrication limitations) and creates a positive pressure within the bearing housing (fending off invasive
contaminants).
Regardless of lubrication method, always specify lubricant according to the demands on vertical shafts and resistance to
solids, pressure, temperatures, loads and chemical attack. Where pump locations may be difficult to access, fully
automatic systems can be integrated to enable timely, proper and effective delivery.
Sealing the system
Bearing seals in centrifugal pumps handle four crucial tasks. They retain lubricants or liquids, exclude contaminants,
separate fluids and confine pressure. So, the seals have their work cut out for them. Solid contaminants, depending on
particle size, hardness and brittleness, will produce either indentations or wear on the bearing surfaces; water will affect
the efficiency of the lubricant; and contamination in the lubricant can dramatically reduce bearing life.
When a seal fails, contamination can infiltrate the bearing area, entering the lubricant and then the bearing. In addition,
loss of lubricant from the bearing can lead to dry-running operation, which ultimately can cause bearing failure.
The choice of seal for centrifugal pump bearings depends on the unique demands and operating conditions of the
application. Keep in mind, though, that the bearing and sealing arrangement represent an integrated system.
Dynamic radial seals generally are the best choice for centrifugal pumps. These seals create the barrier between surfaces
in relative motion (one usually stationary while the other rotates).
Typically, radial shaft seals incorporate:
Steel or elastomer shell. This is bonded to the sealing material and enables the requisite interference fit of the seal in the
housing bore to be maintained (as well as facilitates proper installation); and
Elastomer sealing lip. Usually installed against the shaft, this provides dynamic and static sealing against the shaft and
features a sealing edge formed by pressing, cutting or grinding. Most sealing lips are made from a formulation of nitrile
rubber.
However, materials specifically for use with fuels, industrial fluids and highly compounded lubricants are available.
Seal selection ultimately must be based on a thorough review of application parameters and environmental factors.
Particularly in pump applications, for example, seals will be exposed to relatively constant pressure differentials making
pressure seals (in which the seal cavity is pressurized) the preferred choice.
Due to the nature of their design and the harsh operating environment, seals usually provide a much shorter life than the
components they protect. So, dont fall into the common but unfortunate habit of scheduling seal replacement only at
intervals dictated by requirements of other components such as bearings. Many bearing failures can be prevented if seals
are replaced when the first signs of wear or leakage have been detected.
To get an inkling of how long seals should last, consider the amount of contamination a seal will encounter, cycle times,
speed and heat. Of course, contamination isnt the only reason for premature seal failures. Others culprits can include:
poor selection;
improper installation, resulting in leakage; and
change of lubricant, causing adverse reactions in common sealing materials.
To head off problems, institute a rigorous seal inspection and replacement program.
Dont automatically replace a failing seal with another of the same design. For example, if an oil analysis shows higherthan-anticipated ingress of contaminants, it may be time to upgrade the entire sealing arrangement (perhaps using a
more chemically resistant material or adding elements to bolster the sealing system). Or, in cases of excessive wear, it
may make sense to switch to a non-contact labyrinth seal design.
Monitoring pump health
Taking a more proactive approach to pump maintenance can play an important role in boosting uptime. So, its not
surprising theres increasing interest in condition monitoring. This involves regular measurement and analysis of key
physical parameters such as vibration and temperature, and enables detection of pump system problems before they can
result in unscheduled downtime, high repair or replacement costs, and lost productivity.
Basic instruments can assess and report on vibration, temperature and other parameters. More advanced tools include
online surveillance systems and software that can deliver real-time data for review and foster more timely remedial action
should this become necessary.
Many problems will manifest as vibration, which is widely considered the best operating parameter to judge pump-train
condition. Vibration can detect problems such as imbalance, misalignment, bearing oil-film instabilities, rolling bearing
degradation, mechanical looseness, structural resonance and a soft foundation.
Vibration measurements are quick and fairly non-intrusive because pump equipment remain undisturbed. In addition,
established industry standards identify vibration levels for specific types of equipment.
A significant increase in overall vibration (the sum of all vibration within the frequency range of the instrument)
compared to a baseline value will signal an impending problem, allowing it to be addressed before equipment failure
occurs.
A wide range of technologies from hand-held vibration monitoring tools such as low-cost vibration pens and overall
vibration meters to more sophisticated portable data collectors and related instruments combining compact size with data
storage capabilities (Figure 2) can handle data collection.
Figure 2. This instrument provides a range of testing and analysis techniques as well as data
recording.
Regular monitoring of temperature also can shed light on system conditions. Its a useful indicator of mechanical
condition or the load applied to a specific component such as a thrust bearing. For example, as a thrust bearing fails,
friction causes its temperature to rise. Thermocouple sensors installed in the housing of a bearing and measuring
temperature changes within the bearing or lubricant can send a signal about problems beginning to develop, enabling
appropriate maintenance actions to be scheduled.
The technology toolbox for condition monitoring also includes online surveillance systems. These perform round-the-clock
monitoring of pumps regardless of their location. Such technology can collect data continuously or at a predetermined
frequency from permanently installed sensors and then send its findings to a host computer for subsequent analysis.
Involving the operator
Operators can play a pivotal part in proactive maintenance strategies and boosting pump uptime by serving as the
eyes and ears in a plant to detect equipment faults before problems can escalate.
Under Operator Driven Reliability (ODR), the operators perform basic maintenance activities above and beyond their
classic duties (Figure 3). ODR enlists operators to observe and record the overall health of pumps by checking for leaks,
listening for noises, monitoring temperature, lubrication and vibration, and taking responsibility to identify any abnormal
equipment conditions and, in some cases, to respond with the appropriate corrective actions. Hand-held technology
allows operators to translate early detection of developing problems into prompt corrective action.
Figure 3. Operators can serve as a plants eyes and ears to detect developing problems.
Operators can monitor:

Bearings. Detecting faults in a bearings outer
ring, inner ring, rolling elements and cages also
can suggest potential problems elsewhere in a
pump system.
Lubrication. Spotting under- or over-lubrication
within pump bearings can lead to a moreeffective lubrication program.
Shaft. Checking pump shafts can uncover
imbalance, misalignment, bending, rub,
excessive thrust and looseness.
Seal integrity. Watching for leaks and inspecting
lubricant cleanliness can provide an indication of
the condition of pump seals.
Foundation. Inspecting pump foundations and
bases can warn of looseness caused by loose or
corroded hardware, deteriorated grouting, baseplate straightness, and pump housing soft- and
sprung-foot conditions.
Vane blade pass. Its important to look for
conditions such as wear, blade/vane failure and
looseness of shaft fit, as well as contamination
and obstructions due to foreign debris within the
process.
Impeller clearance. Proper settings are key for
optimum performance and represent a good
indicator of pump impeller and wear ring
conditions.
Cavitation and flow turbulence. Such problems can impact performance and overall pump health over time.
Temperatures. This should involve monitoring several aspects, including bearings, lubrication, sump and the pump
housing.
Process parameters. Shaft speed, head pressure, discharge pressure, differential pressure, vacuum, suction, flow,
reservoir levels, valve positions and product consistency all deserve attention.
Coupling operator oversight and effective proactive maintenance with proper pump bearings, lubrication and seals can
contribute to smoother flowing operations, better performance and service life and, ultimately, optimum uptime.

Best practices for lubing API centrifugal

pump bearing housings
Rojean Thomas
Tags: bearings, maintenance and reliability
More and more plants have goals focused toward extending the mean time between repairs
(MTBR) for their rotating equipment, which includes centrifugal pumps for use in petroleum,
petrochemical and natural gas industries. Maximizing the lubrication effectiveness in API
process pumps will be a big contributor toward meeting this goal. In this article, you will learn
about optimal ways of lubricating the bearings in API process pumps, including data on discs vs.
oil ring lubrication, maintaining the proper level and contamination control. Bearings that are
properly lubricated with minimal contamination will operate at lower temperatures and for
longer periods of time.
Introduction
This article is focused on horizontal centrifugal API (American Petroleum Industry) process
pumps but many of the topics/concepts can also apply to ANSI pumps. There have been various
studies done on why rolling element bearings fail prematurely, and consistently, the No. 1
cause can be attributed to poor lubrication. One particular study stated that 50 percent of
damage is caused by defective lubrication. Poor or defective lubrication can be classified as:
Incorrect lubricant
Incorrect quantity of lubricant
Contaminated lubricant

Lubricant degradation
Figure 1: Typical Bearing Failure Causes

The API Standard 610 requires a minimum bearing life (L10) of 25,000 hours with continuous
operation and rated conditions and at least 16,000 hours at maximum loads and speed. The L10
life is the number of revolutions that 90 percent of a group of identical bearings under identical
conditions will endure before the first sign of fatigue failure occurs. If we assume 80 percent run
time per year (292 days per year), the minimum expected bearing L10 life would be 3.5 and
2.2 years, respectively.
As cited above, poor lubrication will cause 50 percent of these bearings to fail before any signs
of fatigue occur. These failures can occur within a few hours after installation, after one year, or
just before fatigue. At what point prior to fatigue do these bearings fail can be extended by
following the 5 Rs of Lubrication: Right lubricant, Right quantity, Right location, Right time and
Right quality.
Many companies are requesting L10 life ratings of 40,000 hours (5.7 years) when purchasing
new pumps, but it is still important to address poor lubrication practices.
Incorrect Lubricant
Anti-friction bearings in process pumps can either be grease, mineral oil or synthetic oil
lubricated. The primary purpose of oil, or the oil constituent of grease, is to separate the roller
elements and raceway contact surfaces, lubricate the sliding surfaces within the bearings, and
provide corrosion protection and cooling.
Viscosity is the single most important property of a lubricant. Use of the correct viscosity
lubricant for the speed, operating temperature and load ensures the development of a full oil
film between rotating parts. When the incorrect viscosity is used, the load-carrying ability of the
lubricant is negatively affected. The oil degrades to a point where it is too thick to penetrate
between the surfaces and the oil supply may not be adequate to prevent sacrificial contact.
Viscosity is influenced by load, temperature, water, contaminants and chemical change. The
OEM operation manual should be consulted for recommendations on viscosity, but it is also
important to measure the oil sump operating temperature since viscosity decreases as
temperature increases.

Table 1: SKF Recommendation for Ball Bearings in Pumps

Oil in process pumps is typically an ISO grade 46, 68 or 100. These numbers relate to the
Kinematic viscosity in centistokes. The oil is usually hydrocarbon oil, although synthetic oils are
sometimes used for specific lubrication applications. The viscosity of synthetic oil is less
sensitive to temperature changes and more widely used when temperature fluctuations exist. If
temperature also exceeds 100 degrees Celsius (212 Fahrenheit), a synthetic is recommended as
the oxidation rate of mineral oil accelerates faster at higher temperatures.
Incorrect Quantity of Lubricant
Selecting the right lubricant for the application was the first step, and the next is to determine
the correct quantity is initially applied and maintained. It is important to understand the design
of the bearing housing assembly and, more specifically, the designed oil level.
Oil Level Design
The most common types of methods for lubricating rolling element bearings in horizontal
process pumps are:
Grease
Oil splash (direct contact, rings or flingers)
Pure oil mist
Purge oil mist
The use of grease is primarily limited to lower horsepower pumps where the parameters are in
the size and speed range of rolling element bearings. Oil splash lubrication is the most common
method utilized. Oil splash designs include direct contact, oil rings, flinger discs or combinations
of each.
In direct contact, as the shaft rotates, the rolling elements in the bearing make contact with a
level of oil. The bearings should not be submerged in the oil more than one-half the diameter of
the lowest rolling element or ball (Figure 2). Oil rings are utilized where speed or loads are
factors and the oil is not in direct contact with the bearing. Oil rings make contact with the oil
and provide splash type lubrication without direct bearing contact. Flinger discs are similar to oil
rings in that the oil is not in direct contact with the bearing. The discs make contact with the oil
and provide splash type of lubrication. Oil rings are more dependent on the shaft speed relative
to the depth of submersion, but a good rule of thumb to use is to use three-eighths of an inch

at the deepest point. Flinger disks are less susceptible to problems of over-lubrication since
they are attached directly to the rotating shaft and they should also submerge about 3/8 inch
into the oil. A combination design would incorporate a metallic disc and direct contact. The
bearings directly contact the oil and the disc provides additional splash lubrication for cooling.
Figure 2: Pump Cross Section Oil Splash/Direct Contact

The basic concept of the oil mist lubrication system is dispersion of an oil aerosol into the
bearing housing. Air atomizes the oil into particle sizes of one to three microns. Airflow
transports these small oil particles through a piping system into the pump housing which flows
through bearings. It is a centralized type of low-pressure lubrication system. In pure mist
lubrication, the oil/air mist is fed under pressure to the housing. There is no reservoir of oil in
the housing and oil rings are not used. Purge mist lubrication utilizes the same principles of
pure mist, but a reservoir of oil in the housing exists. A slinger/flinger disc or oil rings can also
be used to provide splash lubrication.
Low Level
In a low-level operating condition, the bearing will not receive enough lubricant necessary for
proper film strength a precursor to surface contact, skidding and possible catastrophic failure.
Without enough oil to prevent friction, thermal runaway can happen quickly to a steel bearing.
As the temperature of the bearing increases, the ball and race both expand, which creates an
even tighter fit. This increases the temperature even more, and the cycle continues to a rapid,
catastrophic failure.
04/02/2010
Page 5 of 10
A low level of oil will affect all types of oil splash lubrication. In direct contact, there will be
insufficient film strength and rings or discs may not be able to pick up enough oil to
satisfactorily lubricate the bearings.
High Level
In a high-level operating condition, churning of the lubricant will occur, accelerating the
oxidation rate due to excessive air and elevated temperatures. It is a common mistake to
believe that more is better especially when it comes to oil sump lubrication. Too much oil can
affect the operation of oil rings, flingers and direct bearing contact. Another result of high
lubricant levels is leaking seals. If the oil level is too high, the ring will become submerged and
no longer sling the oil. Flinger discs are less susceptible to this as they are directly attached to
the shaft.
Maintaining Proper Level
Oil sump lubrication does not require that a specific level be maintained for proper bearing load
only that oil levels do not reach critically low or high points (Figure 3).
Figure 3.Typical Oil Level Conditions

Maintaining the proper quantity of lubricant is perhaps the easiest means of increasing
lubrication life and effectiveness. Consult with your equipment manufacturer or the operation
manual for recommended oil levels, optimum lubricating equipment and preferred practices.
The majority of equipment will have an external marking on proper oil level that is either cast
into the housing or a tag is applied.
One of the most widely used methods of maintaining the proper level lubricant in a bearing
housing is the constant level oiler (Figure 2). The constant level oiler replenishes oil lost by
leakage through seals, vents and various connections, and plugs in the bearing housing. Once
04/02/2010
Page 6 of 10
the proper level has been set, replacing the oil in the reservoir is the only required
maintenance. View ports (bullseyes) can also be used to verify proper oil level.
Constant level oilers have a control point that must align with the proper oil level of the
equipment. The oiler is installed on the equipment and oil is filled to the proper level. All
constant level oilers require air to function properly. If the oil level within the sump lowers, the
seal at the control point is broken, allowing air to enter the reservoir, displacing the oil until the
seal is re-established. If the constant level oiler is set correctly and there is oil in the reservoir,
the equipment will always have the optimum oil level within the sump.
Contaminated Lubricant
The quality of lubrication is affected by contamination, which is a large contributor to premature
bearing failures. The major types of contaminants are particulate, moisture, incompatible fluids
and air entrainment. Particles impede lubricant performance and further localize pressure on
components causing denting, fatigue, spalling and abrasion to the surface of mating surfaces.
Water will affect the lubricants ability to provide a proper fluid film, causing premature failure
and excessive wear. Corrosion, cavitation, and premature oxidation and filter plugging of the oil
are other symptoms of water contamination. Air contamination affects oil compressibility,
causes poor heat transfer, film strength loss, oxidation and cavitations.
The sources of these contaminants are:
Generated contamination
External ingression of contaminants
Maintenance induced
Generated Contamination
Particle contamination can be generated during the break-in or during operation of the pump.
Oil rings are typically made of bronze and are sensitive to horizontality of the shaft, speed and
oil levels. They can tend to skip or hang up due to these sensitivities and make contact with
other components. The rings will wear, being a softer material, and particle debris is generated.
These small particles can penetrate the critical area between the rolling elements and the
raceway resulting in abrasive wear.
External Ingression of Contaminants
Pressure differentials between the equipment housing and surrounding atmosphere are a
leading cause of contamination ingression. Pump operation where housing temperature
fluctuations occur during frequent on/off running conditions, process fluid temperature changes,
outdoor use and air flow over the pump create this atmospheric exchange as pressure is
equalized. During this air exchange, contamination (dirt, water, etc.) from surrounding
environment is breathed into the oil sump through vents, seals and oilers.
04/02/2010
Page 7 of 10
Housing components including oilers, seals and vents when specified properly can be very
effective in preventing contamination. For many years, constant level oilers were used to
maintain oil levels. Most of these were vented to the surrounding atmosphere, which can lead to
contamination ingression to the housing sump. By switching to a non-vented oiler and removing
vent plugs, ingression can be significantly reduced. Bearing isolators are used to prevent
lubricant leakage and contaminant ingress. Labyrinth-type bearing isolators are most widely
used on horizontal pumps. Bearing isolators allow increased pressure created by normal pump
operation to vent through the seal and have proved to be very effective at reducing
contamination ingression. The rotor and stator are not in contact, which allows for the venting
to occur while preventing wear prolonging the life of the seal. Magnetic or face seals are used
to prevent damage to bearings due to contamination and lubricant leakage. Face seals are
characterized by optically flat stationary and rotating faces loaded together by magnetic force or
springs.
Maintenance Induced
Contamination can exist in the oil prior to being put into the equipment. It cannot be assumed
that new oil is clean. Proper storage of oil and proper dispensing containers will also decrease
the possibility of water or other contaminants from entering into the bearing housing. Proper
care should be taken during the pump rebuild process to ensure any contamination is properly
removed.
Lubricant Degradation
All lubricants will degrade over time, requiring the oil to be changed. The frequency of these
changes can be extended by maintaining the quality of the lubricant.
Elevated operating temperatures are a major contributor of oil oxidation. Combined with air,
particulate and water contamination, the chain reaction of oil oxidation begins. Additives are
affected first, followed by the basestock, which leads to machine and component surface wear
and fatigue. For every 8 degrees C (18 F) increase in oil operating temperature, the oxidation
rate doubles. This can be significant when considering pump operating temperatures are
frequently near, or above, 60 C (140 F). By simply lowering the operating temperature of the oil
to 50 C (122 F), a 50 percent reduction in the rate of oxidation would be realized doubling the
effective life of the oil.
The most basic methods to reduce (or maintain) lower oil operating temperatures are:
Use the correct viscosity oil.
Use quality oil.
Use the right amount of oil.
Keep the oil clean.
04/02/2010

Air entrainment is a primary source of oxygen in the oxidation failure of oil. New oil can contain
as much as 10 percent air at atmospheric pressure. Splash-type bearing housings utilizing
flinger rings or slingers are all aeration-prone applications. Excessive aeration has a negative
effect on acid number (AN), oil color, film strength and viscosity. In addition, air entrainment
can lead to accelerated surface corrosion, higher operating temperatures and oil varnishing.
Operating temperatures can vary with each type of lubrication method. The graph below was
based on laboratory testing measuring operating temperature of the oil sump from startup until
the temperature leveled off. Two tests were run using ISO 68 weight oil and operating speed of
3,600 rpm. One test had the oil level at mid-ball of the lowest rolling element and the other had
the oil level dropped below and a flexible flinger disc was installed to provide splash lubrication.
The flexible flinger disc operating temperature was 9 F lower than the direct contact operating
temperature. As stated above, this reduction in temperature results in a 25 percent decrease in
rate of oxidation.

Summary
The importance of proper lubrication in process pumps is well known, but achieving it is not
always easy. It is important to start with the basics:
z Use the correct lubricant for the application
z Viscosity
z Mineral or synthetic
z Understand how the pump is designed to properly lubricate the bearings
z Oil splash, oil mist
z Maintain the lubricant at the proper level
z Constant level oilers
z Visual verification of level via bulls-eyes or sight gauges
z Keep the lubricant free of contaminants
z Close up housing reliable seals, breathers, non-vented oilers, expansion chambers
z Proper storage and handling of lubricant

z Oil analysis for verification of type of contaminant

z Maintain the operating temperature within the pumps design parameters
z Follow above guidelines
Understanding the pumps components as well as the surrounding environment is critical for
applying the correct and most economical lubrication management system. Obtaining the
designed L10 rating of the bearing can be obtainable by eliminating poor lubrication.

Bearings for Centrifugal Pumps:

Selection of the Proper Bearing Solution
The most common cause of pump bearing
failure is not fatigue
Thrust bearings for centrifugal pumps seldom
achieve the theoretical life specified by API and
ANSI standards. This is because pump bearings
usually fail from causes other than fatigue.
Causes include:
Impact
Static vibration
Contamination
Insufficient loading
Excessive thrust
Misalignment
Inadequate/ineffective
lubrication
Users tend to ignore the fact that bearings are
designed for specific operating conditions and
use the same bearing for most pump applications. Consequently, the 40O single-row angular
contact ball bearing is applied in applications
where it may not be the best choice.
High contact angle vs. low contact angle

Bearings with low contact angles are designed
primarily for radial loads. Bearings with high
contact angles are most suitable for thrust (axial)
loads. Neither bearing does both well and
compromises are often required to achieve
acceptable bearing performance. Pump applications are not consistent and loads may vary from
high thrust, to near zero thrust, to thrust in the
opposite direction. High contact angle bearings
require substantial thrust load in order to overcome the centrifugal and gyroscopic forces
acting on the balls and prevent ball skidding.
(The higher the contact angle, the more thrust
load required.) Low contact angle bearings
require little or no thrust load to prevent ball
skidding. In addition, remember that only one
bearing in a pair, mounted back-to-back or faceto-face, is thrust loaded. However, the unloaded
bearing has the same minimum thrust load
requirement as the loaded bearing. Therefore, an
axial preload must be applied to the pair to be
sure that both bearings have adequate thrust
load to overcome the centrifugal and gyroscopic
forces.
Assuring minimum required thrust load

Operating preload plus the external thrust on the
primary bearing is additive and the load may be
high enough to cause unacceptably high

operating temperatures. In this publication, the
minimum required thrust load for all bearings is
listed. To select the proper bearing, the external
loads, temperatures, shaft fits and speed must
be considered. Only with this information can an
optimum bearing solution be found. If the above
conditions cannot be determined, reasonable
assumptions must be made in order to make the
initial bearing selection.
Reasonable assumptions are:

Open impellers develop relatively
high thrust load, usually toward the
intake (suction)
Closed impellers develop relatively
low thrust load, usually toward the
intake (suction)
Double suction impeller pumps
(always closed) usually have little or
no thrust load
Thrust load in a direction opposite the
intake (suction) is usually low
These assumptions should be used only as a
guide for tentative bearing selection. Once the
bearings have operated, the loads can be more
accurately determined by observing the location
and width of the ball path on the raceways.

loads and speeds. Start the selection process

Why a Preload or Clearance?

Angular contact bearings require a minimum
thrust load to keep the balls tracking at the
designed contact angle. With less than the
minimum required thrust load, centrifugal force
will cause the balls to track at different contact
angles on the outer ring and inner ring raceways.
This condition will eventually result in premature
bearing failure.
Angular contact bearings with a high contact

angle require a heavier minimum thrust load
than a bearing with a low contact angle.
Due to this fact, bearings with a low contact
angle like the MRC PumPac Diamond 8000BB
series often work best in pumps where little or
no thrust load is present and the loads are
primarily radial in nature.
The thrust load is assured by providing an

adequate operating preload. Operating preload
is dependent upon:
MRC offers a wide range of angular contact

bearings for various application conditions,
including 15, 29 and 40 contact angle
bearings.

Handling and Maintenance

Contamination
A high percentage of ball and roller bearing
problems can be attributed to foreign matter
entering the system. Because bearings are
highly sensitive to dirt and moisture, care must
be taken to keep the bearings and pump cavity
clean. Testing has shown that particles passing
through a filter as fine as 5 microns may cause
severe damage. Experience has shown that
lubricating systems that pressurize the bearing
cavity, such as air-oil-mist, greatly reduce
contamination and increase bearing life.
Lubrication
Generally, for ball bearings, it is a good rule to
select an oil that will have a viscosity of at least
70 SUS (13 cSt) at the bearing operating temperature. From the chart on page 6, the operating
viscosity of an ISO grade oil can be determined at
the bearing operating temperature. The frequency
of oil change depends upon the operating
conditions and the quality of the lubricant. Mineral
oils oxidize and should be replaced at three month
intervals if operated continuously at 212 F (100 C).
Longer intervals are possible at lower operating
temperatures. Synthetic oils are more resistant to
deterioration from exposure to high temperatures
and may allow for less frequent replacement. Early
blackening of the oil strongly indicates a poor
lubrication condition and can result from many
sources. Multi-grade oils, and lubricants with
detergents and viscosity improvers, are not
recommended.
Shaft and Housing Fits

The standard recommended shaft and housing
fits are included in the technical data section for
each individual bearing. The tolerances are
those recommended for bearings mounted on
solid steel shafts. The interference fit between
the bearing bore and the shaft journal causes a
reduction of clearance in the bearings and an
increase in operating preload. Excessive preload
may result in a hot running condition. Bearings
such as the 7000PDU that have a GA preload in
the unmounted condition usually employ a light
interference fit such as an ISO h5 shaft fit. With
bearings that have internal axial clearance CB,
heavier interference fits are usually acceptable.
Each time a pump or motor is rebuilt, both the
shaft diameter and bearing bore should be
measured to be absolutely sure that both meet
specification and to eliminate the chance of
creating excessive operating preload.
Stainless steel shafts have a higher coefficient
of thermal expansion than carbon steel shafts.
When bearings are installed on stainless steel
shafts, it may be necessary to reduce the
interference fit and/or select a bearing having
greater clearance.

The API 610 Standard recommends that
bearings, other than angular contact bearings,
have greater than Normal internal radial
clearance. All MRC single-row deep groove ball
bearings, without filling slots, have greater than
Normal internal radial clearance (e.g. C3
clearance) as standard.
MRC single-row deep groove ball bearings are
assembled with a two-piece, riveted steel cage.
API 610 strongly recommends against the use
of filling slot bearings. MRC product is API 610
compliant.
S-type bearings are available with a wide
assortment of seals, shields and snap rings.
Sealed and shielded bearings are prepacked
with a premium quality polyurea grease suitable
for non-continuous operating temperatures as
high as 300 F (150 C).
A typical application of a single-row

deep groove ball bearing in the radial
position of a centrifugal pump.
Hybrid Bearings
MRC 200S and 300S series single-row deep
groove ball bearings are also manufactured as
hybrid bearings. These bearings combine SAE
52100 steel rings with silicon nitride (ceramic)
rolling elements. They are typically utilized in
applications where there is ineffective lubrication,
excessive contamination, or stray electrical
currents. Even under poor lubrication conditions,
metal-to-metal contact between the raceways and
balls is eliminated due to the use of the ceramic
material. Hybrid bearings can achieve a service
life which is three to thirty times longer than the
standard all-steel bearing under these adverse
conditions. Most of the sizes found on the
following pages are available as hybrid bearings.
For more information, please contact MRC
Bearing Services at 1-800-MRC-7000 and request

30 double-row angular contact ball bearings
improvements in the bearings. These small, but
effective, modifications to the bearings internal
geometry lead to measurable improvements in
both performance and service life. One benefit of
this fine tuning is that MRC double-row ball
bearings are less sensitive to axial overloading.
Double-row angular contact ball bearings are

used extensively in ANSI standard centrifugal
pumps and some older API style pumps. They
are typically used as the primary thrust bearing;
however, in some rare cases, they have been
used as the radial bearing of some pumps and
motors. MRC 5000C bearings are compliant with
ANSI requirements. Double-row bearings with
ball loading grooves (filling slots) are not
recommended for pump applications.
Proven Track Record

Long service life and reliable performance have
earned MRC angular contact ball bearings an
excellent reputation in the pump industry. The
standard product features which have contributed
to this exceptional performance include: ABEC-1
precision tolerances, a 30 contact angle per row,
ABMA C3 internal radial clearance, one-piece heat
treated pressed steel cages, as well as multiple
sealing options. In addition, the contact angles
diverge inwardly, which provides greater rigidity
and increased resistance to misalignment. These
features have allowed MRC double-row bearings
to accommodate combined axial and radial loads,
high speeds, poor lubrication conditions, and
contaminated environments.
Improved precision tolerances

MRC double-row angular contact ball bearings
are manufactured to ABEC-3 (P6) dimensional
and running accuracies. This feature provides
smoother and truer operation with less heat
generation, lower vibration, and more precise
shaft guidance.
Improved ball quality
The balls used in MRC double-row angular
contact ball bearings are one ISO grade better
than the balls previously utilized. The more
precise ball diameter improves running accuracy
even at high speeds, while reducing noise and
bearing operating temperature.
New crown cage
have a newly developed one-piece crown cage
of heat-treated pressed steel. The new cage
design will allow for improved ball guidance and
better lubricant film formation.
*While a significant number of the bearings incorporate the
technical improvements described above, the implementation
of the improvements across the entire product range is an
ongoing process. Please contact MRC before ordering to
determine which sizes have been converted.
Technical Improvements*
Improved materials
are manufactured from an extremely high quality
bearing steel with a very low oxygen content and
a minimum number of impurities. The rings are
manufactured from cold rolled blanks, and both
rings are heat treated to provide dimensional
stability up to 300 F (150 C). These advantages
allow the bearings to maintain built-in clearances
over their entire service life.
Improved internal geometry
Twenty-first century computer-aided design and
manufacturing programs have permitted subtle
Typical application of double row

bearing in an ANSI process pump.

5300UPG series
40 double-row angular contact ball bearings
Upgrading the double-row angular contact
ball bearings in API 610 Standard, 5th Edition
and ANSI-style pumps to duplexed single-row
angular contact ball bearings to meet ANSI +
standards typically meant expensive and
time-consuming modifications.
MRC has taken the features of the industry
leading 7000PJDE single-row angular contact
ball bearing and incorporated them into the
standard double-row angular contact ball
bearings dimensional package.
Machined brass cage
CB axial internal clearance
ABEC-3 (P6) tolerances
Each feature of the MRC Pump Bearing directly
addresses the most common operational
challenges faced by ANSI-style pumps: high
loads and poor lubricationwhich lead to high
bearing operating temperatureslubricant
degradation, and ultimately premature failure.
U = Split inner ring

P = 40O contact angle
G = Snap ring (standard)
The MRC Pump Bearing

40 Contact Angle
ABEC-3 (P6) Tolerances
Steeper than the contact angle of the standard

double-row angular contact ball bearing,
the Pump Bearings 40 contact angle gives
the bearing increased thrust capacity.
A feature found in MRC single-row angular

contact ball bearings, ABEC 3 (P6) tolerances
contribute to better control of the bearings
mounted condition and, ultimately, smoother
bearing operation.
Machined Brass Cage

Proven in single-row angular contact ball bearings
to be robust for performance in heavy duty and
poor lubrication conditions. Takes longer to fail
and produces noise on impending failure,
therefore giving operators a longer time to react
for maintenance and effectively reducing
unexpected downtime.
CB Axial Internal Clearance

Building on the success of the reduced end
play in single-row angular contacts, the Pump
Bearings new optimized axial clearance promotes load sharing between the two rows of
balls and reduces the possibility of skidding
in the inactive ball set.

During operation, one row of balls in the MRC Pump Bearing supports the primary axial load, while the other row of balls handles thrust
in the opposite direction.

7200DU and 7300DU series

29 angular contact ball bearings
The MRC 7000DU series is a medium contact
angle bearing. Similar in design to the MRC
7000PDU series, the lower contact angle
allows for higher speeds, lower thrust load
requirements and greater radial loads.
ABEC-1
Heavy-stock, stamped steel cages
GA preload
Stocked as universally ground half pairs
Due to the 29 contact angle and smaller balls,

this bearing can run with a relatively low thrust
load. It also runs well with a combination of
moderate thrust and radial load.
The 7000DU series should be considered for
applications where thrust is moderate and the
pump has a history of running hot. Many older
style API pumps were equipped with the 7000DU
bearing-type. When replaced with a 40 angular
contact bearing, these older pumps often run
much hotter.
These bearings are stocked with flush ground
faces (GA preload). When heavier than
recommended shaft interferences are employed,
a bearing with an axial clearance (CB) may be
necessary. Special axial clearances can be
obtained on a Made-To-Order basis.

7200PDU and 7300PDU series

with land-guided, machined bronze cage
MRC 7000PDU bearings are especially
recommended for pumps, motors and other
devices that generate heavy axial loads at high
speeds. 7000PDU bearings are not intended to
run in pumps that generate only small- or nothrust loads. See the table on pages 32 and 33
for minimum thrust loads. The bearing with an
aircraft-style machined bronze cage runs
particularly well in applications where thrust
loads vary greatly during operation and periods
of ball skidding are unavoidable. Similarly, this
bearing type resists destructive vibration forces
when cavitation occurs.
Experience has shown that this bearing, with a
land-guided, machined bronze cage is very
forgiving when ball skidding occurs. With oil
lubrication, this cage type runs cooler than
most other executions.
ABEC-1
Land-guided, machined bronze cage
Stocked with GA preload (other preloads
available on a Made-To-Order basis)
Stocked as universally ground half pairs
The MRC 7000PDU series angular contact ball
bearing has been traditionally supplied with the
faces ground flush (GA) and used with an h5
shaft fit. When heavier interference fits are
employed, a bearing with axial clearance (CB)
may be needed. Call 1-800-MRC-7000 for
assistance in selecting special axial clearances.

7200PJDE and 7300PJDE series

with ball-centered cage and CB clearance
Single-row 40 angular contact ball bearings
are the most popular pump thrust bearings in
service today. MRC 7000PJDE series bearings
are compliant with API 610 requirements.
Proven Track Record

excellent reputation in the pump industry.
The standard product features which have
contributed to this exceptional performance
include: ABEC-3 precision tolerances,
a 40 contact angle, controlled internal CB
axial clearance, one-piece ball-guided machined
brass cages and universal grinding. These
features have allowed MRC single-row
duplexed bearings to accommodate combined
axial and radial loads, high speeds and poor
lubrication conditions.
Improved materials
MRC 7000PJDE series single-row angular contact
ball bearings are manufactured from an extremely
high quality bearing steel with a very low oxygen
content and a minimum number of impurities. The
rings are manufactured from forged blanks, and
both rings are heat treated to provide dimensional
stability up to 300 F (150 C). These advantages
allow the bearings to maintain built-in clearances
over their entire service life.
improvements in the bearings. These small, but
effective, modifications to the bearings internal
both performance and service life. One benefit of
this fine tuning is that MRC single-row 40 ball
accuracy. This feature provides smoother and

truer operation with less heat generation, lower
vibration, and more precise shaft guidance.
The balls used in MRC 7000PJDE series singlerow angular contact ball bearings are one ISO
grade better than the balls previously utilized.
The more precise ball diameter improves running
accuracy even at high speeds, while reducing
noise and bearing operating temperature.
New cage
MRC 7000PJDE series single-row angular
contact ball bearings have an improved
machined brass cage which has been manufactured to closer tolerances. The new cage will
allow for superior ball guidance as well as better
lubricant film formation.
*MRC continuously works to improve the performance
and durability of our products. With these technical
improvements, you will notice the longer service life
and higher reliability associated with our single-row 40
angular contact ball bearings. While a significant number
of the bearings incorporate the technical improvements
described above, the implementation of the improvements across the entire product range is an ongoing
process. Please contact MRC before ordering to

MRC 7000PJDE series single-row angular contact
ball bearings are manufactured to ABEC-5 (P5)

Hybrid Bearings
MRC single-row 40 angular contact ball bearings can also be manufactured as hybrid bearings. These
bearings combine SAE 52100 steel rings with silicon nitride (ceramic) rolling elements. They are typically
utilized in applications where there is ineffective lubrication, excessive contamination, or stray electrical
currents. Even under poor lubrication conditions, metal-to-metal contact between the raceways and balls is
eliminated due to the use of the ceramic material. Hybrid bearings can achieve a service life that is three to
30 times longer than the standard all-steel bearing under these adverse conditions. For more information,
please contact MRC Bearing Services at 1-800-MRC-7000 and ask for our applications engineering
department.

7200PJDU and 7300PJDU series

with ball-centered cage and GA preload
Single-row 40 angular contact ball bearings
are the most popular pump thrust bearings in
service today. MRC 7000PJDU series bearings
are compliant with API 610 requirements.
Proven Track Record

excellent reputation in the pump industry.
The standard product features which have
contributed to this exceptional performance
include: ABEC-3 precision tolerances,
a 40 contact angle, controlled internal GA
preload, one-piece ball-guided pressed brass
cages and universal grinding. These features
have allowed MRC single-row duplexed bearings
to accommodate combined axial and radial
loads, high speeds and poor lubrication
conditions.
Improved materials
MRC 7000PJDU series single-row angular
contact ball bearings are manufactured from
an extremely high quality bearing steel with a
very low oxygen content and a minimum number
of impurities. The rings are manufactured from
forged blanks, and both rings are heat treated
to provide dimensional stability up to 300 F
(150 C). These advantages allow the bearings
to maintain built-in preloads over their entire
service life.
improvements in the bearings. These small but
effective modifications to the bearings internal
both performance and service life. One benefit
of this fine tuning is that MRC single-row 40 ball
dimensional accuracy. This feature provides

smoother and truer operation with less heat
generation, lower vibration, and more precise
shaft guidance.
The balls used in MRC 7000PJDU series singlerow angular contact ball bearings are one ISO
grade better than the balls previously utilized.
The more precise ball diameter improves running
accuracy even at high speeds, while reducing
noise and bearing operating temperature.
New cage
contact ball bearings have an improved pressed
brass cage which has been manufactured to
closer tolerances. The new cage will allow for
superior ball guidance as well as better lubricant
film formation.
*MRC continuously works to improve the performance
and durability of our products. With these technical
improvements, you will notice the longer service life
and higher reliability associated with our single-row 40
angular contact ball bearings. While a significant number
of the bearings incorporate the technical improvements
described above, the implementation of the improvements across the entire product range is an ongoing
process. Please contact MRC before ordering to

contact ball bearings are manufactured to
ABEC-5 (P5) running accuracy and ABEC-3 (P6)

8000 series PumPac

40O/15O angular contact ball bearings
The three PumPac series are matched sets of
40 and 15 angular contact ball bearings with
computer optimized internal design. The 8000
series has one 40 bearing mounted back-toback with one 15 bearing. The 8000AAB series
has two tandem mounted 40 bearings matched
back-to-back with one 15 bearing. The 8000BB
series has two 15O bearings mounted back-toback.

The PumPac 8000 series is used in centrifugal

pumps, large vertical electric motors, compressors, centrifuges, and other applications subject
to thrust loads while operating at relatively high
speeds. The bearings are mounted so that the
40 bearing takes the primary thrust (axial) load.
bearing will cause the balls to rotate at an angle

contrary to their true rolling axis; and, as a result,
the balls will momentarily lose contact with the
raceway. In addition, a microscopic wear or
lapping process occurs, giving the appearance of
a burnished or polished raceway. While the oil
film thickness separating the ball and raceway is
reduced, friction and heat are generated, oil
viscosity is lowered, and wear is accelerated.
This thermally unstable condition dramatically
reduces bearing service life.
Traditionally, matched sets of 40 angular contact

bearings are used to obtain maximum theoretical
fatigue life; but, in most instances, only a fraction
of the calculated life is actually achieved. At the
heart of these premature failures are phenomena
known as ball sliding and ball shuttling in the
unloaded or inactive bearing. Angular contact ball
bearings used in high speed (3600 RPM) pumps
and other applications require a minimum axial
load for proper operation. Without axial load,
centrifugal and gyroscopic forces in the unloaded
The main benefit of the PumPac bearing system

is that the 15 bearing is designed with considerably less internal clearance than the 40
bearing, making it less susceptible to the
centrifugal and gyroscopic forces which result
in ball sliding and shuttling. This bearing also
provides additional radial stiffness, helping
to maintain the integrity of the shaft and
mechanical seals. The 40 loaded bearing
provides sufficient axial rigidity under the
imposed thrust load.

8000BB series PumPac Diamond

15/15 angular contact ball bearings
The PumPac Diamond series consists of two
B bearings from the regular PumPac series.
These 15 angular contact ball bearings are
placed back-to-back, so that the etching on the
bearing outside diameters form a diamond. This
bearing system is designed to carry primarily
radial loads with light thrust loads in either
direction. It incorporates all of the other PumPac
features including the land-riding, machined
brass cage and special heat treatment for
optimum dimensional stability.
ABEC-3 tolerances
15O/15O contact angles
CB axial clearance
Diamond etched O.D.
The PumPac Diamond is used in centrifugal

pumps and motors where the thrust loads are
light and radial loads predominate. Double
suction impeller pumps, including the popular
axially split case or between bearings design,
and pumps with closed impellers usually benefit
from this bearing solution. The 15 contact angle
causes the bearings to run cooler in these types
of pumps. Vibration is also substantially reduced.
Even though the calculated life of the PumPac
Diamond may be less than that for a 40 bearing
solution, longer service life in a low thrust load
application can be expected. PumPac Diamond
bearing sets are supplied in pairs, strapped
together, ready for assembly. PumPac Diamond
can not be installed backwards, because both
bearings are identical. In high temperature
applications, it may be necessary to provide
extra clearance in the set to avoid radial preload.
Call 1-800-MRC-7000 for assistance in
determining the correct clearance.

29 angular contact split inner ring ball bearing sets
97000UP2 (and 9000UP) series

40 angular contact split inner ring ball bearing sets
The extraordinary feature of the MRC 9000U
and 9000UP series angular contact ball
bearings is the split inner ring that allows the
assembly of an optimum ball complement
while accommodating thrust in either
direction. The thrust capacity in either
direction is equal to the equivalent size
7000DU or 7000PDU bearing.
ABEC-1 tolerances
Split inner rings
9000U: 29 contact angle
9000UP: 40 contact angle
Land-guided machined bronze cage
The split inner ring bearing can be matched in

tandem with a single 7000 or 7000P series type
bearing with the same contact angle. This configuration yields two bearing shared thrust capacity
in one direction and one bearing thrust capacity
in the opposite direction.
The spilt inner ring bearing is usually paired with
a 7000 or 7000P series bearing for use in pumps
or motors, as a 97000U2 or 97000UP2 set. The
letter P identifies the bearing or set as having a
40 contact angle.

This bearing set is commonly used in vertical

motors or pumps to handle the primary thrust
load. Because two bearings acting in tandem
share the thrust load, this solution offers an
extremely high thrust carrying capacity.
Reversing thrust load can be accommodated
on the back side of the split inner ring bearing.
Another common application of this bearing
system is stirrer motors for ethylene reactors. In
this application, the bearing depends upon the
reactors plasma for lubrication. MRC offers a
variety of materials and cage designs to provide
optimum service life with marginal lubrication.
For proper mounting orientation, please refer to
the stuffer provided in the bearing box.

Increase mean time between

failure of heavy-duty slurry
pumps with unique shaft
solutions from SKF.
When a heavy-duty slurry pump is subjected to severe cavitation and abrasives, the
resulting wear and damage to the impeller
cause an imbalanced condition. Though it is
virtually impossible to eliminate the imbalance, it is possible to substantially reduce
the damage that it causes.
To reduce the damaging effects of
impeller imbalance, the SKF total shaft
solution, combines unique bearing and seal
arrangements with SKF adapter sleeves and
special mounting tools. With this combination of SKF products, your pump bearings
will run cooler, smoother and longer
providing extended service life for your
customers and added value for you.
The SKF self-aligning bearing

solution
SKFs unique self-aligning bearing system
uses a spherical roller bearing in combination
with a spherical roller thrust bearing on the
dry end of the pump shaft, and a CARB
toroidal roller bearing on the wet end of the
shaft. This unique bearing system can substantially reduce vibrations caused by impeller
imbalance. The CARB bearing also accommodates thermal elongation of the shaft within
the bearing, to avoid the problem of induced
axial loads on the bearings; enabling the
system to tolerate heavier axial loads for
improved flow rates and efficiency.

1 SKF bearings for the locating positions

When an SKF Explorer spherical roller
bearing and an SKF Explorer spherical
roller thrust bearing are combined properly,
they can:
Accommodate up to 1.5 of shaft
misalignment
Resist wear and damage caused by contaminants to extend service life
Maximize the effects of the lubricant to
reduce heat generated by the bearings,
and increase service life
Accommodate considerably heavier
thrust loads than other types of similarly
sized thrust bearings
Simplify mounting or dismounting when
used in conjunction with adapter sleeves

2 CARB bearings for the non-locating

position
To accommodate thermal expansion of the
shaft, pump designers traditionally use a
cylindrical roller bearing on the wet end of
the shaft. However, these bearings do not
accommodate the vibrations or shaft
deflections that typically occur at the first
signs of impeller imbalance. As a result,
SKF recommends using a CARB bearing on
the wet end of a shaft.
Key benefits include:
Accommodate thermal expansion of the
shaft within the bearing, to virtually eliminate the problems caused by induced axial
loads
Tolerate shaft misalignment to reduce
edge loading
Tight fit on the inner and outer rings
prevent fretting corrosion and limit shaft
vibrations
3 Adapter sleeves/ hydraulic nuts

Mounting and dismounting a bearing on a
tapered shaft is a precise and time-consuming task. Done incorrectly, internal
clearance will be either too small or too
large, and the bearing will fail prematurely.
To install bearings in heavy-duty slurry
pumps accurately and easily every time, the
SKF drive-up method is recommended.
This method uses a hydraulic nut, a
hydraulic pump, adapter sleeves, lock nuts
and locking devices that were specially
designed to maximize bearing service life.
