INTRODUCTION
The RHP Silver-Lube series is a range of corrosion resistant
bearing units specifically for use in industries where frequent
thorough washdowns are necessary, optimum hygiene standards
are required and good chemical resistance is important over a
wide temperature range.
The units are available in pillow block, two-bolt flange, four-bolt flange
and take-up unit configurations and are capable of accommodating
initial misalignment from mounting errors. In operation the units
have proven reliability in the most hostile applications.
Relubrication is possible for long trouble-free life,
minimising maintenance, maximising productivity
and helping maintain hygiene standards.
Silver-Lube housings are made from PBT
thermoplastic resin which, in addition to being
non-corrodable, is resistant to detergents and a
wide range of chemicals. The housings are paint and
coating free which prevents chipping or flaking and have smooth
surfaces to assist thorough washdowns.
Silver-Lube bearing inserts are made from stainless steel, are
provided with effective, efficient sealing arrangements and are
charged with an aluminium complex, high temperature approved food

UNIT DIMENSIONS
Silver-Lube mounting details are dimensionally interchangeable with
the traditional RHP Self-Lube range. However, some non-critical
dimensions do differ, see tables below.

Polypropylene end covers are available to fit all Silver-Lube housings.
End covers can be used at temperatures ranging from 20C to
+90C. They may be used as additional protection for the bearing in
adverse environmental conditions as well as an aid to meeting safety
requirements.

HOUSING STRENGTH
Housing load carrying capacity varies depending on the application loading regime, which may be intermittent,
continuous or cyclical. Maximum housing loads are given in tables 10, 11, 12 and 13. These loads must not be
exceeded without prior consultation with NSK.
Published housing maximum load capacities do not allow for any reduction in housing strength caused by exposure
of the housing to chemicals, water, steam, heat, ultraviolet light or any combination of these factors. If any of these
factors are present in the application the designer or end-user must establish the effect of these exposures and
reduce the published maximum housing load accordingly.
To maximise load carrying capacity it is recommended that washers are used with the fixing bolts. Tables 10, 11
and 12 also detail maximum fixing bolt tightening torques.

Note that there is no Maximum Fixing Bolt Torque applicable for Take-Up Units.

STATIC ELECTRICITY GENERATION

Static electricity may be generated by Silver-Lube bearing units under certain application conditions.
Silver-Lube bearings are therefore not recommended for use in explosive or flammable environments. If Silver-Lube
bearing units are used in flammable or explosive applications the bearing insert must be earthed.

Original Chevron greased inserts can be identified by there being only

three markings on the flinger, for example: RHP JAPAN J102525GCR. Inserts charged with an aluminium complex food grade
grease can be identified by the presence of an additional letter
between RHP and Japan; for example inserts are marked with a K
(or M) to give RHP K JAPAN J1025-25GCR.

S1

The grease in this product is an aluminium complex food grade grease.

In the event of relubricating being necessary, this type of grease is the
first choice replacement. Please note that Silver-Lube bearings were
previously charged with Chevron Poly FM2 grease, which is
incompatible with the current aluminium complex food grade grease.

If an aluminium complex food grade grease is not available, it is

essential that any alternative grease is USDA H1 approved and ideally
chemically compatible with the original grease. If chemical
compatibility cannot be assured, then it is recommended that the
original grease is completely flushed out from the system before
relubrication. NSK should be consulted if necessary.

Bearing insert permissible speed is dependent on

shaft tolerance.
For higher speed applications an ISO h7 shaft
tolerance is recommended. An ISO h9 shaft
tolerance may be used for low speed applications.

BORE TOLERANCE
Silver-Lube inner ring bore tolerances are on the plus side of the
nominal bore. This enables the bearing to slip freely over standard
shafting.
