Lubrication Instructions
The ball bearings in the 4P-0.35K, 4P-0.75K and 4P-1K are pre-
lubricated for life. All other models have two roller bearings with
grease fittings. The life of the roller bearings reach far beyond the ball
bearings, however, the roller has a larger contact area than the ball
and needs more lubricant. Therefore, they have to be re-lubricated at
certain intervals. For 1725 RPM vibrators, every 1,000 to 2,000 hours
or every month for continuous duty. The amount of lubricant should
be 2.5 to 3 grams (two pumps with standard manual grease gun.) Do
not over grease. If too much grease is applied it will leak out. By
removing the end cover you will find out if the unit has been
excessively over greased. Clean out excess grease. The same amount
is on inside of bearings on stator side. If too heavy, unit should be
taken apart and cleaned. For vibrators without grease nipple, the
outside eccentric and bearing cover have to be removed. If the
bearing has a grease seal, remove and discard it. Remove as much as
possible of the old grease and repack bearing.
