Lubrication
Each Metalfab, Inc.Vibratory Motor has been lubricated from the factory and
requires no further lubrication for 2000 hours of operation. Exceptions to this
lubrication schedule are only to be made if surface temperatures exceed 194°F
(90°C). In this case, the lubrication time should be halved for every 18°F
(10°C) increment above 194°F (90°C). The lubrication quantity should also
be halved accordingly.
The grease lubrication installed in the CD Series motors is Kluber Staburags
NBU 8 EP. The CDX series explosion proof motors use Kluber Isoflex Topas
NB 52.
Never mix greases of different types or manufacturers as this may cause
premature bearing failure. Kluber grease may be purchased from:
Kluber Lubrication Corporation
54 Wentworth Ave.
Londonderry, NH 03053
(603) 434-7704
Refer to the chart below for the proper lubrication quantities for each motor.
Table IV. Vibrator Lubrication
All motors must be lubricated every 2000 working hours unless otherwise
specified.
*This motor has bearings sealed for life.
**Lubricate every 1000 working hours.
***Lubricate every 3000 working hours.
Fifteen pumps of a standard grease gun equals approximately 1 oz. (28 g) of
grease. Too much grease may cause the bearings to overheat and result in
premature bearing failure.
When installing new bearings, lubricate by hand-packing the bearings. The
quantity of grease for new bearings should be doubled that of the above
lubrication table.
