Proper bearing maintenance is most critical for bearing life.
Mounted bearing units (See below). There are lubrication holes that extend to the external surface of the housing;
Clean the surface and do lubrication work periodically to ensure good cooling and safe operation.
Lubrication of the fans with two bearing blocks:
Grease lubrication.
A high quality lithium based grease conforming to NLGI Grade 3, such as Exxon polyrex EM, Shell Alvanin RL2, or Great Wall and Sea Lion #2.
Remark: The parameters of NLGI grade 3 are mineral oil as the base oil, lithium soap as the thickener. The penetration range is 220-250, temperature range of -20℃~120℃, and consistency number 3;
Matters that need special attention in lubrication
Lubricate with the grease gun until it oozes out at the bearing seal.
The lubricants shall be added to the level between 1/3 and 1/2 of the fill quantity.
Lubrication frequency is determined by such factors as the load, speed, dust and temperature. The table below is a lubrication schedule recommended under normal conditions.
If the bearings run at a temperature of over 70℃ or in a dust environment, the lubrication intervals shall be more frequent.
Once selected, the type of grease shall be constantly used as a different grease type may lead to premature wear and tear.
