GENERAL INFORMATION
DODGE USAF bearings conform with all appropriate
AFBMA standards. They are available in either adapter or
direct mounting styles for 1
7
/
16
" through 8", up to 220 mm
diameter shafts. A wide variety of seals is available
including metallic LER, TRIPLE TECT seal, non-metallic
with V-ring, drop-in TRIPLE TECT seal with ozone
resistant V-ring, auxiliary taconite, or split non-metallic
seal. TRIPLE TECT is provided as standard on complete
assemblies. DODGE USAF housings provide you with
maximum application flexibility. Cast-in dimples allow for
easy field modification for vents, lube ports, and sensors.
Oversized drains and an oil equalization hole make USAF
ready for circulating oil systems off the shelf. For hostile
environments, USAF offers optional cast closed end
housings, stainless hardware kits, and nylon coating.
Complete installation, maintenance, and modification
instructions for adapter mounted units are provided in this
manual. Modification instructions are shown in Table 6.
For mounting instructons of self-aligning ball bearings, see
page 8. Pillow blocks with factory installed monitors must
also refer to Instruction Manual 499807.
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.
INSPECTION
Inspect shaft. Ensure that the shaft is smooth, straight,
lean, and within commercial tolerances.
Inspect bearing. Do not allow bearing to be exposed to
any dirt or moisture. Do not remove slushing compound as
it acts as both a protectant and lubricant and is also
compatible with standard greases.
INSTALLATION
WARNING
Threaded eyebolt cap holes in 5/125mm and larger pillow
blocks are rated for the weight of the cap only. Do not use
the cap eyebolt holes to lift the entire pillow block or any
auxiliary equipment. Failure to follow this precaution could
result in bodily injury.
CAUTION
To ensure proper functioning of V-ring seals, do not
reinstall V-ring seals until after the housing cap has been
set in place and tightened. Failure to observe this
precaution could result in damage to or premature failure
of the equipment.
Note: Housing caps and bases are not interchangeable;
they must be matched with mating half. Install non-
expansion bearing first.
1. Apply a coating of light oil or other rust inhibitor to the
adapter area of the shaft.

2. Measure the internal clearance of the bearing before
mounting. Place the bearing in an upright position as
shown in Figure 1. Seat the inner ring and roller
elements by pressing down firmly on the inner ring
bore while rotating the inner ring a few times. Position
the roller assemblies so that a roller is at the topmost
position on both sides. For bore sizes above 6
1
/
2
",
press these top rollers inward ensuring contact with
center guide flange. Using a feeler gauge measure the
clearance for both sides by inserting as far as possible
and sliding over top of roller (Figure 1). Write down the
measured clearance for use in step 3e. Note: Do not
rotate bearing when moving feeler between roller and
outer ring.
Note: For seal types other than TRIPLE TECT such as
DROP-IN TRIPLE TECT, LER, auxiliary seals, and
split seals follow seal Instruction Manual 499799
supplied with the seals.
3. Install the bearing parts in the following sequence
(refer to parts drawing):
a) V-ring Seal Slide one of the V-ring seals onto
the shaft, making sure lip is toward the bearing.
Note: Do not install V-ring seal on seal ring until
housing cap has been set in place and tightened.
b) Seal Ring Install a seal ring on shaft with largest
O.D. toward bearing.
c) Adapter Sleeve Slide adapter sleeve onto the
shaft, threaded end outboard to the approximate
location of the bearing. Apply a coating of light oil
to sleeve O.D. Do Not Use Grease.
d) Bearing Make sure that the internal clearance
has been written down. Install bearing on adapter
sleeve, tapered bore of bearing to match tapered
O.D of adapter sleeve. Locate bearing in proper
position on shaft.
e) Lockwasher and Locknut Install the lockwasher
(8 and smaller sizes only) on the adapter sleeve
with inner prong located in the slot of the sleeve
and pointing toward the bearing. Install locknut,
chamfered face toward bearing.
4
Tighten locknut using a spanner wrench and
hammer until clearance noted in step 2 is reduced
by amount shown in Table 1. During this step shaft
should be supported so all weight is off of the
bearing.
Find a lockwasher tab that aligns with a locknut slot
and bend tab into slot. If slot is past tab then
tighten, not loosen, locknut to meet a washer tab.
Sizes larger than 8 require a lockplate bolted to
the locknut with the inner prong of the plate located
in the slot of the adapter sleeve. If necessary
tighten, not loosen, locknut to allow prong to fit in
adapter slot. Lock plates for 9 and 10

f) Seal Ring Install second seal ring with large
O.D. toward locknut.
g) V-ring Seal Slide second V-ring seal onto the
shaft, again, making certain lip is toward bearing.
Note: Do not Install V-ring seal on seal ring
until housing cap has been set in place and
tightened.
4. Remove any paint, dirt or burrs from the mating
surfaces of the housing halves. Thoroughly clean seal
grooves on both sides. Set tower half of housing on
base and apply oil to the bearing seats.
5. Apply grease to the bearing and seal rings. The
lubricant should be smeared between the rolling
elements (see Grease Lubrication section).
6. Place shaft with bearing into lower half while carefully
guiding the seal rings into the housing grooves.
7. Bolt lower half of the non-expansion bearing to the
base. Move shaft endwise so that spacer ring can be
inserted as shown on drawing. Center all other
bearings on same shaft in their housing seats. Note:
Only one bearing per shaft is non-expansion; other
bearings should be expansion. When pillow block is
subjected to heavy cap loads, use hardened washers
and properly torqued grade 8 bolts to mount block to
the structure.
8. When closed end is required and the block is not a
cast closed, the optional end plug should be fit into
the center seal ring groove of the housing. Shaft
extension should not be beyond adapter and to
ensure no rubbing with end plug or housing on cast
closed end.
9. On pillow blocks 10 bore and above, a bead of
silicone sealant should be applied between the cap
and the base.
10. Grease the bearing seal grooves in the housing cap
and place over the bearing after wiping the mating
surfaces. The two dowel pins will align the cap with
the lower housing half. Note: Each cap must be
matched with its mating lower half, as these parts are
not interchangeable. Cap and base have serial
number stamped at joint. The serial numbers should
line up for proper match.
11. Tighten cap bolts to the recommended torque in
Table 2.
12. Assure that there is running clearance at seal rings
then install V-ring seals on the seal rings as shown on
sketch 1.
13. Misalignment of pillow blocks must not exceed
1
/
2
"
degree.
14. Apply a thick coat of grease to any exposed surface
of the V-ring seals.

MAINTENANCE
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.
Remove the housing cap in order to inspect bearing
grease. Before reassembly it is important that the V-ring
seals be removed if TRIPLE TECT seal installation tools
are not available. If available, do not remove seals and
follow cap installation outlined in the seals instruction
manual.
GREASE LUBRICATION
USAF bearings are specifically designed for dirty, dusty or
wet environments. In order to properly protect bearings
during installation, pack the bearing insert 100% full
immediately after having properly mounted bearing on the
shaft.
If the RPM of the application falls between 20% and 80%
of maximum RPM (Table 5), pack the lower half of the
housing one half full. If the RPM of the application is less
than 20% of maximum RPM, pack bearing housing cavity
100% full. If the RPM exceeds 80% of maximum RPM,
pack the lower half of the housing 1/3 full.
5
WARNING
Regreasing requires rotating parts to be exposed.
Exercise extreme care during such operations. Failure to
observe these precautions could result in bodily injury.
At each regreasing cycle, for applications up to 80% of
maximum RPM, slowly add grease until fresh grease is
seen purging at the seats. Regreasing should be done
while running. Remote regreasing lines should be added
to avoid endangering personnel.
If the RPM is greater than 80% of maximum RPM, add 4
strokes of a handgun at each regreasing cycle for bores
up to 2". For bores greater than 2" up to 5" add 8 strokes
of handgun at each regreasing cycle. For bores greater
than 5" up to 10
1
/
2
" add 16 strokes of a handgun at each
regreasing cycle. For units running above 80% of
maximum RPM, running temperature should be
monitored. If a drastic change in running temperature is
noted, it is recommended to remove the used grease
completely and recharge with fresh grease per the above
instructions.
Select a grease with a viscosity at operating temperature
which will provide full film lubrication (see Table 3). Use a
50F-100F increase in bearing temperature above
ambient, depending on RPM and load. Use Table 4 as a
general guide for regreasing the bearings. A small amount
of grease at frequent intervals is preferable to a large
amount of grease at infrequent intervals. For special
applications involving high speeds or high temperatures,
consult DODGE.

LONG-TERM STORAGE OF PRE-
ASSEMBLED BEARINGS
Applications such as conveyor pulleys and fans are
shipped to a job site with bearings already mounted to the
shafts. Since these units may be stored for long periods of
time in unprotected areas subject to rain, dust, etc.
bearings should be packed 100% full and so tagged at
bearing assembly to prevent contamination or corrosion of
the bearings. Rotate bearings or shaft at least once a
month.
Prior to installation on the structure, if the application RPM
is greater than 20% of catalog maximum speed, excess
grease must be removed to the levels outlined previously.
Removal of excess grease must be done in a clean,
protected environment.7
OIL LUBRICATION
USAF bearings are specifically designed to handle both
grease and oil lubrication. Oil lubrication is normally
required at high speeds as well as high loads or whenever
heat from an external source is flowing into the bearing.
Oil lubrication may be static or circulating. With static oil,
fill the bearing cavity with oil up to the centerline of the
lower roller. The dimension is identified as "w" and is
shown in Table 7. Mount an oil sight gauge on the drilled
and tapped hole on the side of the pillow block for visual
indication of this level. The oil level may drop or rise during
operation depending on the rotation of the bearing. Both
the static oil level and the running oil level should be
marked on the oil sight gauge and properly identified. Oil
should be replaced semiannually.
For circulating oil, the flow rate and size of return drains
are shown in Table 7. Consult DODGE application
engineering for recommendations.

MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS FOR SELF-ALIGNING BALL BEARINGS
WARNING: When using double-row, self-aligning ball bearings in a Dodge USAF housing, it is necessary to switch the
position of the grease fitting and the pipe plug (see sketch, page 7, items 14 and 25) in the cap of the housing in order to
lubricate the bearing since it does not have a W33 lubrication groove in its outside diameter.
The mounting procedure for an adapter mounted self-aligning ball bearing in a split pillow block housing is similar to that of an
adapter mounted spherical roller bearing with the exception of the bearing drive-up procedure. The internal clearance of a
double row self-aligning ball bearing cannot be measured accurately in the field.
The mounting instructions for the adapter mounted spherical roller bearing in a split pillow block housing can be used for the
mounting of self-aligning ball bearings by omitting Step 2, and substituting the following for Steps 3 d and 3 e in the mounting
procedure under the heading INSTALLATION on page 2 of this manual:
Wipe any residual oils or greases from the shaft, all adapter sleeve surfaces and the bearing bore prior to mounting. Install the
bearing onto the adapter sleeve, tapered bore of the bearing matching the tapered O.D. of the adapter sleeve. Locate the
bearing in proper position on shaft.
Install the lockwasher on the adapter sleeve with the inner prong located in the slot of the sleeve and pointing towards the
bearing. Install the locknut, chamfered side towards the bearing. Tighten the locknut by hand or with a spanner wrench until
the adapter sleeve has just begun to grab the shaft and cannot be easily moved or rotated.
Two methods of final tightening can be used. Either rotate the nut through the given angle or rotate the nut until the
measured axial displacement of the inner ring is equal to S. Find a lockwasher tab that lines up with a locknut slot and bend
the tab into the slot. If slot is past tab then tighten, not loosen, locknut to meet a washer tab. When properly mounted, the
bearing should rotate easily and it should be possible to swivel the outer ring manually, and S are obtained from the
following table corresponding to the bearing bore series:
