BS ISO 19349:2019

What is ISO 19349-Plain bearings with liquid lubrication about?  

ISO 19349 is an International Standard that discusses plain bearings with liquid lubrication. 

ISO 19349 provides requirements and guidance on lubricant supply arrangements and monitoring for liquid-lubricated bearings. 

ISO 19349 includes: 

• Requirements and guidance on lubricant supply arrangements and monitoring for liquid-lubricated bearings 
• Beneficial for bearings with integrated water coolers, where an early indication of an internal water leakage problem can be provided 
• Provides reliable information upon which to base suitable lubricant replacement intervals and can help in saving valuable resources and money 

Who is ISO 19349- Plain bearings with liquid lubrication for?  

ISO 19349 on plain bearings with liquid lubrication is relevant to: 

• Manufacturers of hydrodynamic plain bearings 
• Manufacturers and suppliers of oil-based lubrication systems 
• Manufacturers and industries involved with rotating machinery 
• Power generation and transportation industry 
• Mechanical engineers 
• Product design engineers 

Why should you use ISO 19349- Plain bearings with liquid lubrication?  

Self-acting bearings are also called hydrodynamic bearings or thin-film bearings. Hydrodynamic plain bearings can be operated with lubricants of different chemical bases.  

ISO 19349 can assist you with making the right selection of lubricants to avoid any undesirable chemical interactions, as per the bearing material in use.  

Compliance with best industry guidance and requirements specified by ISO 19349 can ensure of reduced friction, corrosion, leakage and wear, thereby minimizing risk of product failure. Moreover, this can enhance the performance and durability of the end-application.
