Note
In all cases, use the lubricant recommended.
Grease the bearing, not the cavity where it is located.
A bearing that is not regularly checked and lubricated will have a reduced life
span.
New Bearings
New bearings are typically protected with an oil preservative to prevent corrosion etc.
during storage. This is NOT the lubrication for the bearing but DOES NOT need to be
washed off prior to assembly and in-service lubrication.
When lubricating a new bearing with grease the following steps should be taken:
Do not clean off the oil preservative.
1.
Grease must be forced between the roller elements and the roller cage.
2.
Rotate the bearing to ensure that the grease is distributed over the entire
circumference of the internal parts.
3.
Any excess grease should be smeared on the outside of the rollers.
4.
Lubrication and Checks While Servicing a Bearing
Disassemble parts as necessary to access the bearing.
1.
Inspect the old grease covering the bearing, looking for signs of bearing damage,
i.e. flakes or specks of metal.
2.
Remove the old grease.
3.
Check the bearing for smooth operation and visually check for corrosion, dents
and flaking in the bearing race, rollers or cage. Replace if necessary.
4.
Below/overleaf several common bearing types and the lubrication procedures for
each are identified:
