Instruction Manual for Sleevoil

These instructions must be read thoroughly before installation or operation. This instruction manual was accurate at the time of

printing. Please see www.dodgeindustrial.com for updated instruction manuals.

WARNING: To ensure that drive is not unexpectedly started,

turn off and lock out or tag power source before proceeding.

Failure to observe these precautions could result in bodily

injury.

WARNING: All products over 25 kg (55 lbs) are noted on the

shipping package. Proper lifting practices are required for

these products.

CAUTION: Do not scrape, rebabbitt or otherwise alter this

product. Such action adversely affects bearing performance

and may result in damage to or destruction of equipment.

INSTALLATION

Before mounting the pillow block read all instructions in this

manual to become familiar with the mounting procedure and

pillow block parts nomenclature. Refer to applicable contract/

assembly drawings to verify that all parts are available prior to

assembly. Disassemble and thoroughly clean all parts of the

pillow block (including pipe plugs). The installer is the last person

to inspect all parts for fit, damage and cleanliness. Care MUST be

taken to avoid contaminating the internal surfaces of the bearing.

All instructions in this manual pertain to both standard (STL)

and short series (SSL) pillow blocks with the exception of Step 8

which does not apply to SSL style bearings.

Check mounting structure making sure it is rigid, level and

well supported. Inspect shaft to insure it is smooth (32 micro-

inch finish or better), free of burrs or rough spots. Clean

shaft in the bearing area. Standard shaft tolerance should

be +.000 / -.002 on all sizes unless otherwise specified on

shaft detail.

Disassemble and thoroughly clean all parts of the pillow

block. For ease of installation, the housings and liners are

split and match-marked. The split halves are machined

together and must not be interchanged. Housing and liners

should be interchanged as assemblies only.

WARNING: Because of the possible danger to persons(s) or

property from accidents which may result from the improper

use of products, it is important that correct procedures be

followed: Products must be used in accordance with the

engineering information specified in the catalog. Proper

installation,

maintenance

must be observed. The instructions in the instruction

manuals must be followed. Inspections should be made

as necessary to assure safe operation under prevailing

conditions. Proper guards and other suitable safety devices

or procedures as may be desirable or as may be specified in

safety codes should be provided, and are neither provided

by Dodge Industrial, Inc. nor are the responsibility of Dodge

Industrial, Inc. This unit and its associated equipment must

be installed, adjusted and maintained by qualified personnel

who are familiar with the construction and operation of all

equipment in the system and the potential hazards involved.

When risk to persons or property may be involved, a holding

device must be an integral part of the driven equipment

beyond the speed reducer output shaft.

NOTE: Liner assembly has critical machined surfaces

which are easily damaged. Use care in handling to

protect these surfaces. Liner parts should be placed on

a soft, CLEAN surface.

WARNING: Rust preventatives and solvents can be

toxic and/or flammable. Follow directions and safety

procedures recommended by their manufacturers.

Position housing base on pedestal so that oil gage is in the

position specified on the construction drawing. Also check

construction drawings for special modifications on housing

and/or liner. Do not tighten housing base to pedestal. Apply

oil to the spherical seats in the housing base.

Set liner base in housing base. Make sure the two

thermocouple/RTD holes in the liner are aligned with the

two thermocouple/RTD holes in the housing. If the shaft is

already supported in place, the liner can be rolled around

the shaft into the housing seat. To do this, remove one of

the water pipes from the liner base. Plug the water pipe

hole with clean rag to prevent contaminants from entering

the housing. Apply oil to the liner bearing surface and roll

the liner around the shaft into place. It may be necessary to

bolt the housing base down to allow the liner to slip into the

housing seat. Remove the rag and reinstall water pipe using

pipe sealant. Apply oil to the liner bore.

NOTE: Liner has been machined to close tolerances.

Scraping of bore is not recommended.

NOTE: If shaft is in place, care should be taken when

reinstalling coolant pipes. Use pipe sealant and tighten

securely. Over tightening may result in liner damage.

Apply oil to shaft in the bearing area and set shaft in place.

Check alignment of pillow block by noting clearance

between housing and shaft at each end of the housing—

clearance should be uniform within 1/32". Shim bearing

pedestal where possible, otherwise use full length shims

under base as required. Alignment of pillow block should

be as accurate as possible. The self-alignment feature of

the unit is to compensate for normal shaft deflection and

possible settling of the supports.

Oil rings are shipped disassembled with two extra screws.

Place oil rings around outside of liner base and around top

of shaft.

NOTE: Oil ring halves are match-marked and MUST NOT

be interchanged.

Install and tighten the four screws in each oil ring using low

strength thread locker. Make sure oil rings rotate freely on

shaft.

Older "T-section" brass oil rings have been replaced by new

split bronze Trapezoidal Oil Rings (2014). "T-section" oil

rings have been discontinued. Use Trapezoidal Oil Rings.

NOTE: If pillow block is to be arranged for circulating

oil, read section headed "Circulating Oil".
