Relubrication of the bearing
Lubricants
When relubricating, rotate the bearing.
Relubrication
NOTE!
Material damage due to improper lubrication!
-
Ensure that the lubricants are suitable for the respective application and for the materials used
(e.g. rolling bearing cage or seal).
-
When mixing lubricants, consider the compatibility of the lubricant types. In particular, note the base
oil type, thickener, base oil viscosity and NGLI class. These questions must be clarified in advance
with the lubricant manufacturer, especially if the bearing is used under extreme operating conditions.
Relubrication takes place via the gap between the inner and outer ring.
7.2 Maintenance work
7.2.1 Relubrication
For long-term lubrication, use high-performance bearing lubricants due
to their higher ageing resistance. Franke recommends the special lubri-
cating grease „SHELL Gadus S3 V220 C2“ or comparable.
Perform relubrication below the operating temperature of the bearing.

The relubrication period is application-specific. The following table
shows reference values.
