Lubrication and service chart
Lubrication
Lubrication is an important part of preventive
maintenance. The service life of bushings, bearings
and bearing pins can be extended considerably if
the machine is lubricated in a correct way. A
lubrication chart makes lubrication work easier and
reduces the risk of forgetting greasing points.
Lubrication has two main purposes:
- To supply grease to the bearing in order to reduce
wear between the pin and the bearing.
- To replace old and dirty grease. The grease
stored inside the outer seal collects dirt and water
and prevents them from penetrating into the
bearing.
NOTICE
Wipe off grease nipples and grease gun before
greasing, so that dirt and sand are not introduced
through the grease nipples into the bearings.
