21、andardization of Thrust Loading Device8.1 Pack a bearing, and install it into the holder. Place theassembly into a plastic jar as described in 10.1-10.4. Place thejar onto the base of the motor drive spindle and center it underthe indexing pin of the drive. Lower the drive until the O-ringjust conta
22、cts the 1-kg weight. Run the bottom nut of the depthgauge (see Fig. 3) down to the stop. Place a 3-mm spacer ontop of this nut. Bring the top nut down to the spacer. Whileholding the top nut in position, remove the spacer and run thebottom nut up and tighten it against the top nut. When theO-ring is
23、 compressed against the 1-kg weight until the adjust-ment nut hits the stop, there will be a 29-N load added, givinga total load of 39 N on the bearing. (The loads described areprovided by the forces of the spring in the thrust loadingspindle and the sum of the 1-kg weight and spring, respec-tively.
24、 These loads are approximate. The 1-kg weights shouldbe within 0.010 kg of their stated values. The thrust loadingspindle should be calibrated by some suitable method when itis first put into service, recalibrated periodically, and replacedif its spring does not provide sufficient force to spin the
25、testbearings without slippage during the 60-s run to distribute thegrease.) Examine the O-ring periodically, and replace it if itshows any cracks or other signs of deterioration.8.2 The thrust loading device should be standardized beforeuse, once per day if used daily, and again if there is reason t
26、obelieve that the standardization has changed. The thrust load-ing device may be standardized using one of the greases to betested.9. Preparation of Bearings9.1 Examine the test bearings carefully and select onlybearings that have outer races (cups) and rollers entirely free ofcorrosion. During the
27、bearing preparation, handle the bearingswith tongs or rubber or plastic gloves. Do not touch bearingswith the fingers at any time.9.2 Wash the selected bearings thoroughly in hot (52 to66C) mineral spirits, reagent grade (Warningsee 7.5)to4The sole source of supply of the apparatus known to the comm

To ensure complete removal of therust preventive, subject the bearings to a second wash in freshhot mineral spirits, reagent grade.NOTE 1The washing temperatures specified are considerably abovethe flash point of the solvent. Accordingly, the washing
32、 operation shouldbe carried out in a well-ventilated hood where no flames or other ignitionsources are present.9.3 Transfer the bearing from the mineral spirits, reagentgrade to the solvent rinse solution (Warningsee 7.4.3)toremove the mineral spirits, reagent grade and any fingerprintsthat may be p

Then rinse the bearing and slowly rotateit in fresh hot (66 6 5C) solvent rinse solution.NOTE 2Fresh solvent rinse solution must be used to avoid selectiveevaporation of the components at the rinse temperature.9.4 Remove the bearing from the solvent rinse solution andplace it on filter paper
34、 to drain. After draining, dry the bearingin an oven at 70 6 5C for 15 to 30 min.9.5 Permit the bearing to cool to room temperature andreexamine its surfaces to ensure that corrosion-free and free-turning specimens have been selected. (Take care not to spinthe bearings after cleaning and drying.)9.6
35、 Wash and dry the bearing packer using the sametechnique as for the preparation of the bearings.10. Procedure10.1 With the reservoir of the grease packer resting on aclean bench top, and while wearing gloves, place the bearingFIG. 3 Run-in Stand DrawingFIG. 4 Spindle/Thrust Loading DeviceD5969 1114c
36、up with the small diameter face down into the recess of thepacker. Place the bearing cone over the cut, and while holdingthe bearing assembly against the packer, lift and invert thewhole unit and return it to the bench.10.2 Fill the reservoir with the grease sample, and use theplunger to force greas
37、e through the bearing. Carefully removethe plunger from the reservoir to avoid sucking air into thebearing, and slide the packer unit over the edge of the bench.While holding the bearing assembly in the packer, invert theunit to its original position on the bench.10.3 Using a small square-ended spat
38、ula, remove excessgrease from the bearing bore and the annulus between thegrease packer and outer perimeter of the bearing cup. Thebearing is removed from the packer by either the use of thepliers4or by placing a gloved index finger in the bore andlifting it out.10.3.1 While holding the bearing, use
39、 the spatula to removeexcess grease above the cage on both sides of the bearing. Thisprocedure is done to ensure that approximately the samevolume of grease is used each time.10.4 Using Fig. 1 as a guide, hold the packed bearingbetween gloved fingers with the large inside diameter of thecup downward
40、 and insert the small diameter plastic flange ontop of the bore, and the larger flange into the bottom of thebore. Slide the bearing assembly onto the 1-kg weight so thatthe large diameter flange fits into the recess on top of theweight. Insert the bolt through the assembly and screw the bolttightly
41、 into the weight. Lower the plastic bearing holder (Part8) over the bearing. (The large O-ring faces upward.) Pressdown the holder so that the bearing fits squarely into the holder.10.5 Invert a plastic jar over the bearing assembly. Slide thetwo components over the edge of the bench, and with finge
42、rspressing the weight against the inner bottom of the jar, invertthe entire assembly.10.6 Place the jar onto the base of the motor-driven spindleand center under the indexing pin of the drive. After the pin isengaged, start the motor and bring the drive into the center ofthe 1-kg weight. Load until
43、the nut hits the depth stop. Run for60 6 3 s and allow the bearing to coast to a stop. Hold it withtwo fingers and then raise the drive. Take extreme care not tobreak the contact between the races and rollers at this point andin the following steps.NOTE 3At no time during or after the 60-s run shall

The synthetic sea water should be no morethan
45、 one week old.10.8 Fill a clean syringe with 100 6 5 mL of the freshlyprepared synthetic sea water test solution. With the run-inbearing in the jar, simultaneously start a timer and begin addingthe synthetic sea water solution into the hole provided for thispurpose in the bearing holder. Add the 100
46、 mL of the solutionwithin 20 6 3 s. When the timer shows 50 6 3 s, startwithdrawing the solution. By 60 6 3 s, complete the with-drawal of 70 6 5 mL of the solution. Leave the remaining 306 5 mL of the solution in the jar. Make sure that water does nottouch the bearing after 70 6 5 mL is withdrawn.

The solvent mix-ture can be heated to facilitate the removal of the grease.Agitate vigorously to remove the grease. Repeat the rinsingusing fresh solvent mixture or gently wipe the bearing with aclean cloth or tissue to ensure that traces of grease areremoved.KEY DESCRIPTION QUANTITY1 GREASE PACK PLUNGER 12 CYLINDER 13 LM11900 BEARING ASSEMBLY 14
