8.2 Lubrication

The lubrication points of the fans have to be greased regularly using appropriated lubrication
tools. The lubrication periods depend on the operating hours of the fan (see next schedule).
The bearings of the installed maintenance-free electric motors have a grease filling, which
J
is calculated for a service life of approx. 10.000 - 20.000 operating hours. The maintenan-
ce-free flange double bearings (299 T ...W, 399 T ...W), were filled with grease sufficiently
by the manufacturers, this means they have a calculated service life of approx. 20000 ope-
rating hours.
The periods and amount of the lubrication on the electric motor and regreasable double
J
flange bearings 399T...N and block bearing 32T...ER depend on the operating hours of the
fan. After max. 8000 operating hours at the latest after one year of operation the bearings
have to be greased again according to the next schedule.
We recommend as appropriated bearing grease a lithium soap grease, for example Shell-Al-
J
vania 2 or 3. The determined lubrication intervals are applicable to bearings in horizontal
mounting position at a maximum temperature of 70 °C. As lubricant aging is accelerated
at higher temperatures, the lubrication interval must be reduced by half with a temperature
increase of 15 °C.
J Concerning the lubrication intervals of electric motors please note the operating and main-
tenance instructions of the engine producer.
Greasing periods depending on the speed and nominal size of the fan:
HF R ...-15 / 17 D / R
Only the fan type HF R 250-17 R with a speed over 2000 min-1 has got a regreasable bearing
installed.
