6 Technical data It is important to observe the technical data during installation, operation and manintenance. Inform the personnel about the technical data. 6.2 Relubrication intervals The table is for an internal bearing temperature of 100°C. An increase in temperature of 15°C (ambient or internal in bearings), will reduce the greasing interval and bearing lifetime by 50%.
