 S-2000 SPHERICAL ROLLER BEARINGS 
 
GENERAL INFORMATION  
DODGE S-2000 Spherical Roller Bearing mounted units incor-
porate a unique way of sealing the internal components of the 
bearing while still allowing a full + or - 1 degree of misalignment. 
The patented sealing system (Pat. #5,908,249) has proven 
effective, due to its constant contact pressure, in protecting the 
internal bearing components under maximum allowable misaligned 
conditions.  
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 
 
NON-EXPANSION BEARING 
 
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 MAY RESULT IN 
BODILY INJURY. 
 
1.
 
Clean shaft and bore of bearing. The shaft should be 
straight, free of burrs and nicks, and correct size (see 
shaft tolerance table). If used shafting is utilized, then 
the bearing should be mounted on unworn section of 
shafting.  
2.
 
Lubricate shaft and bearing bore with grease or oil to 
facilitate assembly. Slip bearing into position. When light 
press fit is required, press against the end of the inner 
ring of bearing. Do not strike or exert pressure on the 
housing or seals.  
3.
 
Bolt bearing to support, using shims where necessary to 
align bearing so inner ring does not rub on seal carrier. 
Use full shims which extend across the entire housing 
base.  
4.
 
Determine final shaft postion and tighten setscrews in the 
locking collar(s) of non-expansion bearing to recom-
mended torque while the other bearings remain free. 
Rotate the shaft slowly under load, if possible, to prop-
erly center the rolling elements with respect to the 
raceways. Then tighten setscrews into the locking collar 
of the remaining bearings to the recommended torque.  
5.
 
Check rotation. If there is any strain, irregular rotational 
torque or vibration, it could be due to incorrect 
alignment, bent shaft or bent supports. Installation 
should be rechecked and correction made where 
necessary.  
 
EXPANSION BEARING 
 
Steps (1, 2, 3) Same as Non-Expansion Bearing.  
4.
 
Position expansion bearing in the housing. For normal 
expansion conditions, the bearing insert should be posi-
tioned in the center of the housing. To center bearing 
insert in housing, move bearing insert to extreme posi-
tion and mark shaft. Then using bearing maximum total 
expansion table, move bearing insert in opposite direc-
tion one-half the total expansion to center bearing in the 
housing. If maximum expansion is required, move 
bearing insert to the extreme position in the housing to 
permit full movement in direction of expansion. After 
expansion bearing has been positioned in the housing, 
tighten the setscrews in the locking collar to the 
recommended torque.  
5.
 
Same as Non-Expansion Bearing.  
 
FIELD CONVERSION (RE-OP) OF A NON-EXPANSION 
BEARING INTO AN EXPANSION BEARING 
 
All non-expansion bearing sizes can be re-oped to become 
expansion bearings. To re-op a non-expansion to an 
expansion bearing follow these steps:  
1.
 
Move the snap ring, opposite from the collar side of 
bearing, to the outermost snap ring groove.  
2.
 
Install bearing per Expansion Bearing instructions listed 
above.  
NOTE: Bearing nameplate has a non-expansion Part 
Number. When bearing is re-oped the bearing should be 
marked as expansion for future reference.

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 and operation procedures 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 Baldor Electric Company 
nor are the responsibility of Baldor Electric Company. 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.
