NOTE:
SYNTHETIC LUBRICANTS & INTERNAL BACKSTOPS –
Synthetic lubricants of the polyalphaolefin type may be used in
drives with internal backstops. Select proper lubricant grade
from Table 4.
NORMAL CLIMATE CONDITIONS —
For temperatures of
30°F (–1°C) and above, use viscosity grades as recommended
in Table 3 for petroleum based lubricants, or see Table 4 for
synthetic lubricants.
WARNING:
SYNTHETIC LUBRICANTS IN FOOD PROCESSING
INDUSTRY – Synthetic lubricants may contain toxic substances
such as sulfur, phosphorus, chlorine, lead derivatives, graphite
or molybdenum disulfides and should not be used in the food
processing industry without the lubricant manufacturer’s
approval. Lubricants which meet USDA “H1” classification are
suitable for food processing applications.
Lubricant Changes
OIL ANALYSIS REPORT —
Checking oil condition at regular
intervals is recommended. In the absence of more specific
limits, the guidelines listed below may be used to indicate when
to change oil:
1. Water content is greater than 0.05% (500 ppm).
2. Iron content exceeds 150 ppm.
3. Silicon (dust/dirt) exceeds 25 ppm.
4. Calcium content 50 ppm above normal lubricant amount.
5. Viscosity changes more than 15%.
PETROLEUM LUBRICANTS
— For normal operating
conditions, change gear oils every six months or 2500
operating hours, whichever occurs first. If the drive is operated
in an area where temperatures vary with the seasons, change
the oil viscosity grade to suit the temperature, refer to Table 3.
Lubricant suppliers can test oil from the drive periodically and
recommend economical change schedules.
SYNTHETIC LUBRICANTS —
Synthetic lube change intervals
can be extended to 8000 hours depending upon operating
temperatures and lubricant contamination. Laboratory analysis
is recommended for optimum lubricant life and drive
performance. Change lube with change in ambient
temperature, if required. Refer to Table 4.
Grease Lubricated Seals
All drives are furnished with grease purged seals which minimize
the entry of contaminants and abrasive dusts into the drive.
Drives are shipped with NLGI #2 grease in the seal housing
cavities unless otherwise specified.
Whenever changing oil in the drive, purge the seals with one of
the NLGI #2 greases listed in Table 2.
Some of these greases are of the EP type and may contain toxic
substances not allowed in the food processing industry. If grease
could contaminate the product, as in the food and drug
industries, the grease should be removed. A grease that meets
the USDA “H1” classification is suitable for food processing
applications.
Periodically (at least every six months) depending upon the
frequency and degree of contamination, purge contaminated
grease from seals by slowly pumping fresh bearing grease
through the seal,
WITH HAND GREASE GUN
, until fresh
grease flows out along the shaft. Wipe off purged grease.
