The lubrication interval is application-dependent. You may need to lubricate more frequently depending on the duty cycle, usage, and environment. If the
lubricant appears to be dispersed before this point or has become dry or crusted, the maintenance interval should be reduced.
Before lubrication - Gear elements only:
Visually inspect the slewing bearing for any accumulation of foreign matter.
Using a cloth with solvent, remove any contaminants and old lubricant that may still be on the slewing bearing.
Wipe with a dry, lint-less cloth and perform the lubrication immediately after.
Lubrication Procedure - Rolling elements:
The slewing bearing rolling elements must be greased using the standard grease fitting (as shown below). We recommend injecting the grease through the
grease fitting using a grease gun equipped with a standard grease fitting dispensing tip.
In order to distribute the grease throughout the rolling elements, it is recommended to manually turn the slewing bearing two to five full rotations in both
directions.
This slewing bearing has two grease fittings, grease only needs to be applied to one of them to fully grease the system. Use whichever is convenient.
