Conditions for oil+air lubrication
rolling bearings
Many fields of engineering require that the Bearing temperature t

bearings increase beyond the limits cited in
rolling bearing catalogs, e g in the case of
bearings for grinding and milling spindles to
increase cutting speeds Beyond the design
and construction of the bearing, another
critical aspect of meeting this requirement is NR
the selection of a suitable lubrication system
Conventional lubrication systems (e g oil
bath lubrication or circulating-oil lubrica-
t
tion), for which the values in rolling bearing
catalogs were prepared, fail in such cases
because friction-related losses, and thus the
temperature, rise beyond permissible limits
due to hydrodynamic losses in the lubricant Amoun of oil delivered

simultaneous cooling of the lubricant, it may
be possible to reduce the temperatures, but Lubricant quantities In practice, however, the values obtained

imprecise in lubricant metering and feeding
Permanent grease lubrication is well suited
and often employed However, the limit on
speed factors achievable using permanent
grease lubrication is significantly lower than
with oil+air lubrication
The limit for permanent grease lubrication
can generally be assumed as a speed factor
n x dm of < 1 to 1,5 x 106 mm x rpm,
depending on the bearing type and the
grease used Further, the grease change
intervals must be adhered to when using
permanent grease lubrication; these are
eliminated in oil+air lubrication For higher
speed characteristics, oil+air lubrication is
therefore an appropriate system that can, of
course, also be used when low speed char-
acteristics are involved

Designs
The MV20x-1 and MV30x-1 are oil+air The MV20x-1 design contains an air MV204-1
mixing valves with metering They are built adjustment screw for setting the quantity of

ondary line connections air cannot be adjusted on the MV30x-1
The lubricant metering is selectable in a design The secondary line connections on
range of 0,01–0,16 cm3 for each lubrication both designs are available with SKF plug
point connectors or fittings for solderless tube
Secondary line connections which are not unions for tube ∅4 mm Another oil+air
needed can be plugged This involves screw- mixing valve must be provided if more than
ing an appropriate metering screw for zero eight lubrication points will be supplied In
metering into the mixing valves this case, the compressed air must be fed
separately to each mixing valve
