Sleevoil®
Dodge® Sleevoil® RTL Series
Hydrodynamic Bearings
Dodge® Sleevoil® RTL Series
hydrodynamic bearings provide
exceptionally strong performance in
high heat applications. The liner design
offers excellent radial and thrust load
capacities. Coolant chambers
directly in the liner provide
especially effective heat dissipation
and cool both the thrust plates
and radial load sections as close to
the heat source as possible. The coolant
chambers are of sufficient size to allow the use of
water, oil, or air as the internal coolant. All components
are fully split. Housings are pre-machined for
thermocouples, circulating oil, heaters and thermostats.
The Dodge RTL design accommodates shaft diameters
from 3-7/16” to 12”. Dodge RTL Series is used on
motors, generators, fans, test stands, dynamometers,
pumps, compressors and other turbomachinery.
Features and Benefits
•
Extended life is a plus with no metal-to-metal
contact during operation—more than ten times the
theoretical life of anti-friction bearings
Rugged construction using gray iron housing and
liner for durability
•
High speed capabilities because of self-pressurized
full oil film
Babbitt lining offers conformability and shaft
protection
•
Adequate vibration dampening is handled by the
hydrodynamic oil film which absorbs shock
Completely self-aligning as a result of ball and
socket mounting between liner and base
•
Effective heat transfer accomplished by journal
surrounded by improved coolant chambers
Dependable oil ring lubrication with self-contained
oil supply
•
Quiet operation accomplished by full separation of
mating parts
Convenient oil gage can be positioned on either
side of housing
•
Pre-machined for thermocouples, circulating oil kit,
vibration detector adapter kit, auxiliary seal kits,
end cap kit, heater and thermostat
•
Fully split housing for trouble-free assembly and
disassembly

Optional Accessories
A number of standard options are available for Sleevoil RTL
bearings. These non-standard components can be used to
enhance overall bearing performance in a number of ways,
including significant expansion of the bearing’s operating
envelope, maintaining consistent performance in extremely
changeable or hostile surroundings, improved system diagnostic
capabilities, and more. (Note: Additional modifications can be
designed for special applications.)
Heater & Thermostat
RTD/Thermocouple
Auxiliary Seals
Monitors bearing’s babbitt temperature to help protect system
against abnormal operating conditions
Provide additional protection from environmental contaminants
and locations where high velocity air flows over the bearing.
Circulating Oil Kit
End Cap Kit
Provides controlled delivery of oil regardless of shaft surface
speed. Provides more rapid heat dissipation, constantly cleans
oil, and floods bearing journal, all of which allow significantly
higher speed operation.
Closes off bearing housing in short shafted applications.

RTL-Spherical vs. RTL Sleevoil bearings
RTL-Spherical is an upgrade of RTL Series SLEEVOIL bearings with identical mounting dimensions.
• RTL-Spherical pillow block has self-aligning spherical
• RTL bearing has self-aligning spherical seats only on lower
seats on both lower and upper halves of housing and liner. halves of bearing housing and liner.
• RTL-Spherical liner will fit inside the RTL housing.
• RTL liner will not fit inside the RTL-Spherical housing.
• Use new instructions manual for complete RTL-Spherical bearing. • Use RTL instructions manual with RTL housing using
RTL-Spherical liner.
