Bearings

Refer to the rating plate or the catalog for the designations of the bearings being used.
Bearing lifetime
Prolonged storage periods reduce the useful lifetime of the bearing grease. For permanently
lubricated bearings, this reduces the bearing service life.
We recommend that the bearings or grease are replaced after a storage time of 12 months;
if the time exceeds 4 years, replace the bearings or the grease.
