Lubricating greases
9. Lubrication greases
SANDEX units use an oil bath lubricating system. In certain mounting positions, the bearings sit above the oil level. In this case, a sealed lubricating device is installed exclusively for the bearings and grease nipples are attached wherever grease must be reapplied. Note, your SANDEX has already been greased prior to initial operation. Apply grease every 2000 to 4000 hours of operation.
9.1Supplying lubricating grease
(1)If the mounting position of the Alpha index output flange is horizontal, parallel to the ground, grease needs to be applied to the bearing by the grease fitting supplied on the output stationary flange.
Grease nipples
(2)Supply 5 to 30 g per shot according to the SANDEX model you are using. Old grease will fall into the oil basin and will be drained when the lubricating oil is replaced.
