Greasing of bearings

The bearings must be greased after assembly according to the following
instructions:
3HAC044266-001 Revision: -
Action
To avoid contamination, let a new bearing remain in its wrapping
until it is time for fitting.
Ensure that the parts included in the bearing fitting are free from
burrs, grinding waste, and other contamination. Cast components
must be free of foundry sand.
Bearing rings, inner rings, and roller elements must not be subjec-
ted to direct impact. The roller elements must not be exposed to
any stresses during the assembly work.
Action
Tension the bearing gradually until the recommended pre-tension is achieved.
Note
The roller elements must be rotated a specified number of turns before pre-
tensioning is carried out and also rotated during the pre-tensioning sequence.
Make sure the bearing is properly aligned as this will directly affect the durab-
ility of the bearing.
The bearings must not be completely filled with grease. However, if space
is available beside the bearing fitting, the bearing may be totally filled with
grease when mounted, as excessive grease will be pressed out from the
bearing when the robot is started.
During operation, the bearing should be filled to 70-80% of the available
volume.
