9.4. Lubricating points
All bearings installed are provided with a long-term lubrication which requires
republication once or twice a year. All sliding surfaces of the welding station require
lubrication. The gear unit, the ball and needle bearings of the compressed air motors
must be lubricated with grease on the lubricating nipples every six months.
The following greases can be used:
Shell
Retinax AM
Mobilgrease
Special
DEA
Molytex Grease EP 2
Esso
Multipurpose fat
Aral
Multipurpose fat F
Molykote BR2 Plus extends the lubrication intervals.
Important!
This head may only be used in connection with a compressed air maintenance unit
comprising a pressure reducer, water separator and oiler. It cleans the compressed air,
removes condensation water and permanently supplies the motors with the quantities
of oil required. On its upper side the oiler is set by means of screwdrivers such that
each strapping operation makes a drip of oil drop in the inspection glass. Cw turning
causes more oil, ccw turning less.
Attention!
In no case the strapping head may be operated without oil in the
oiler, since that would immediately result in the destruction of the
compressed air motors.
During the entire operation the compressed air motors must be operated with filtered
and oiled compressed air. As to quantity per 1 m³ air approx. 3 to 5 drips are required,
this corresponds to 0,12-0,2 g/m³. Primarily, lubricating oil should be unalloyed mineral
oil. It must be fluid and free of resin and acid.
A viscosity of 2-4 °E at 50°C (12-30cSt) has been found successful (for further
temperature ranges see viscosity table). Motor temperatures of -30 to +100 °C are
admissible. However, in case of ambient temperatures of below +5 °C there is the risk
of icing. In that case dried air or icing-inhibiting lubricants (e.g. "Killfrost Anti Eis") are
recommended.
Caution!
Wear breathing mask when using antifreeze agents.
