Though originally designed for the exacting requirements of the air handling industry, R Series SLEEVOIL pillow blocks are suitable for a wide range of industrial applications where a precision built, split, babbitted, ring-oiled bearing is required which is self aligning and quiet in operation.

SLEEVOIL pillow blocks have good cooling capabilities. Water cooled (WC) and externally cooled (XC) types operate at higher speeds and load ranges than plain units and function well near high temperature sources.

For standard SLEEVOIL bearings, the shaft tolerance is +0.000” / -0.002” with a surface finish of 32 micro-inches or better.

WHERE SLEEVOIL BEARINGS ARE CURRENTLY USED
 Fans & Blowers  Motors
 Generators  Dynamometers
 Test Stands  Compressors
 Pumps  Turbines

FEATURES AND BENEFITS SLEEVOIL
 Fully split housing for trouble-free assembly and disassembly
 Rugged construction using gray iron housing and liner for
durability
 Babbitt lining offers conformability and shaft protection
 Completely self-aligning as a result of ball and socket
mounting between liner and base
 Dependable oil ring lubrication with self-contained oil
supply
 Convenient oil gage can be positioned on either side of
housing
 Proven reliability and dependable performance guard
against catastrophic failures.
 Extended life is a plus with no metal-to-metal contact during
operation. More than ten times the theoretical life of antifriction bearings
 High speed capabilities because of self-pressurized full oil
film
 Adequate vibration dampening is handled by the
hydrodynamic oil film which absorbs shock
 Effective heat transfer accomplished by journal surrounded
by improved coolant chambers
 Quiet operation accomplished by full separation of mating
parts
