SP8018 SERVICING BEARINGS
SERVICING TURNTABLE BEARING
While turntable bearings require almost no
attention, what little they are given will pay
big dividends in long life, high performance,
and trouble-free service. Lubricate the
bearing every 100 operating hours for
relatively slow rotating applications. Idle
equipment should not be neglected. Grease
dries out and temperature changes can cause
condensation within the bearing. Whether
used or not, the bearing should have grease
introduced every 6 months. It is always a
good idea to rotate the bearing a few turns to
coat all surfaces with fresh grease. Also
inspect seals, making certain that they are in
proper position in grooves and intact. Check
tightness of mounting bolts and retighten if
needed. Be alert to changes in rotation,
unusual sounds, and vibrations.
NOTICE
This machine is lubed with Starplex II grease when it is delivered from the factory. Starplex II is
lithium complex soap grease, which contains a specially formulated additive package to provide
excellent rust protection, resistance to water washout and extreme pressure properties. It is
recommended as multipurpose, high performance grease for severe duty industrial applications
involving high temperatures, water contamination and shock loading. Operating temperature
range is from -22

F to 284
