Lubrication
Three options are available for bearings lubrication,
- grease,
- oil mist
- oil cascade inside bearing housing.
Ball-Bearings Lubrication by Grease
Before placing the pump in operation, it must have grease supplied to the thrust bearings, the line bearing is life
greased.
Unplug the grease outlet plug located opposite the fitting in the bearing housing outer cover. Pump grease into
the fitting in the bearing housing outer cover until grease just begins to extrude from the
grease outlet. Replug the grease outlet and turn the shaft several times by hand to distribute the grease in
the bearings. Thereafter, re-grease thrust bearings at 3000 hour intervals of operation. Refer to Section
5.2.1 for proper grease type.
Pure Oil Mist Lubricated Ball-Bearings
Ensure that oil mist system is installed on the pump bearing housing and is operating.
