Fan Shaft Bearings - BAC FXV-0806-12D Series Operation & Maintenance Manual

Fan Shaft Bearings

Two pillow block ball bearings support the fan shaft. Each bearing is equipped with a
lubrication fitting and a slinger/locking collar to keep out moisture. Extended lubrication
lines are available as an option.
Inspection & Maintenance
• Only lubricate the bearings with a manual grease gun or BAC's optional Automatic
Bearing Greaser. Do not use high-pressure grease guns since they may rupture the
bearing seals.
• Only lubricate the bearings with one of the following compatible water resistant
greases which are suitable for ambient temperatures ranging from - 65ºF (-53.9ºC) to
+250ºF (121.1ºC).

• Lubricate the bearings as follows:
– Initial Start-up: Normally, no lubrication is required since the bearings have been
lubricated at the factory prior to shipment. However, if the unit has been stored at
the job site for more than 1 year, all fan bearings should be lubricated with new
grease before initial operation. When lubricating, purge the old grease from the
bearing by gradually adding grease until a bead of new grease appears at the seal on
the underside of the bearing.
– Seasonal Start-up: Purge both bearings with new grease prior to start-up.
– Operation: Purge bearings with new grease every three months while in operation.
– Extended Shutdown: Purge bearings with new grease prior to any prolonged storage
or downtime.
