Bearing Lubrication

BEARINGS WITH OIL CUP
We recommend relubrication of bearings at the time of installation even though a full supply of oil is provided at the factory. Conditions encountered during shipping and storage may cause some oil loss. Triangle Steel Bearing Ball Units have large oil retaining felts for substantial lubricant capacity. Once the bearing is in use and the ball and felt saturated with oil, long bearing life may be expected under proper operating conditions. The standard oil supplied is a good grade of industrial mineral oil, NON-DETERGENT, SAE 30 viscosity. Bearing use at elevated or very low temperatures may require oil of a different viscosity.

BEARINGS WITH GREASE FITTINGS
Bearings with grease fittings ARE NOT FACTORY LUBRICATED. Grease should be applied with a pressure gun at the time of installation, filling the ball unit and bearing until grease appears at the shaft surface.

BEARINGS WITH SPECIAL LUBRICANT
We are not limited to the lubrication methods described above. If you require a special lubricant, please contact us. We will be happy to discuss the requirement with you.
