MRO-PT has Dodge Sleevoil RTL Series bearings for sale available in stock for a variety of different dimensions and compatibility with the specifications of your equipment.
General Characteristics
RTL pillow block blocks offer excellent radial and thrust load capacities. Large coolant chambers provide especially effective heat dissipation when used with circulating coolant systems. This provides exceptionally strong bearing performance near high heat sources or gases. The inner liner of the RTL has a center cavity which provides flooding lubrication to the thrust plates. This cavity acts as a reservoir to provide lubrication even during start-up and divides the radial area into two individual load sections. A single thrust collar is required. If a split collar is used, a shaft recess is necessary. Coolant chambers, which cool both the thrust plates and radial load sections, are of sufficient size to allow the use of water, air, or oil as the internal coolant. Expansion pillow blocks are furnished as standard. When nonexpansion blocks are specified, a thrust collar and thrust plate kit are required.
