a pick-up ring performance as well as cost savings.
Oil lubrication with a pick-up ring († fig. 1)
is normally used with SONL housings. It
provides a uniform supply of lubricant to the
bearing, resulting in favourable operating
conditions. This oil lubrication method uses
a ring that hangs loosely from a shaft spacer
sleeve on one side of the bearing. It hangs
deep into the oil reservoir in the bottom half
of the housing († fig. 1, page 16). Then, as
the shaft rotates, the ring follows and picks up
the oil from the bottom half and brings it to
a collecting trough. The oil then flows through
the bearing and back into the oil reservoir. In
the fifty years that this lubrication method has
been used, there has not been any record of
wear where the ring contacts the seat –
regardless of the shaft dimensions, or how
fast it is running.

Maintenance and condition

Lubrication
recommendation
Before starting up a bearing arrangement with
an SONL housing and oil pick-up ring for the
first time, make sure that the oil collection
trough and the bottom of the bearing are filled
with oil. This prevents the bearing from run-
ning “dry” until the pick-up ring can supply an
adequate amount of lubricant.
Even if the housing is carefully cleaned and
painted inside, there is a risk that impurities
will remain. Therefore, SKF recommends
changing the oil after an initial trial running
period of a few hours. Subsequent oil changes
can then be made at convenient intervals but
should be performed at least once a year. The
bearings must be at a standstill when the oil
is changed.
If there are no oil leaks from the housing
during the trial run, a monthly check of the
oil level should be adequate.
Inspections
Although SONL bearing arrangements are

service life, they should be checked regularly.

It is generally not possible to mount larger
bearings in the cold state, as the
force required to mount a bearing increases
considerably as the bearing size increases. For
this reason, the bearings are heated prior to
mounting.
The requisite difference in tempera-
ture between the bearing ring and shaft or
housing depends on the degree of interfer-
ence and the diameter of the bearing seat.
Bearings should not be heated to more than
125 °C. Otherwise, dimensional changes
caused by alterations in the structure of the
bearing material may occur.
When heating bearings, local overheating
must be avoided. To heat bearings evenly,
SKF electric induction heaters († fig. 3)
are recommended. Detailed information on
SKF heaters can be found in the catalogue
“SKF Maintenance and Lubrication Products”
or online at www.skf.com.
To handle heated bearings in a safe manner
heat and oil resistant gloves should be worn.
If a heavier hot bearing is to be mounted,
lifting tackle should be used († fig. 4). A Fig. 4
spring between the hook of the lifting tackle
and the belt facilitates positioning when the
bearing is pushed on the shaft. The bearing
should be held in place until it has cooled
sufficiently to maintain its position.

Other related SKF products
Robust, high-performance
standard bearings
SKF produces spherical roller bearings, self-
aligning ball bearings and CARB toroidal roller
bearings normally incorporated in SONL
plummer block housings. These bearings are
available in many sizes and several designs.
All three bearing types are self-aligning.
The spherical roller bearings and the self-
aligning ball bearings can be used in both the
locating and non-locating bearing position.
CARB bearings accommodate axial displace-
ments within the bearing and are always non-
locating. It is common practice to combine
a CARB bearing at the non-locating side with
a spherical roller bearing or a self-aligning
ball bearing arranged as a locating bearing
at the other side.

Accessories
Adapter sleeves for easy mounting
Bearings with a tapered bore can be mounted
on straight shafts with the aid of an adapter
sleeve. These sleeves are produced by SKF
in sizes appropriate for the range of bearings
that can be used in SONL housings.
Adapter sleeves are slotted sleeves with
a tapered outside diameter. The sizes used with
bearings for SONL housings have an external
taper of 1:12 and are supplied complete with
lock nut and locking washer (sleeves for CARB
bearings up to and inclusive size 22 have
a KMFE locknut without locking washer).
Their dimensions are in accordance with
ISO 2982-1:1995. D
