SERVICING PIVOT TABLE BEARING
While turntable bearings require almost no
attention, what little they are given will pay big
dividends in long life, high performance, and
trouble free service. Lubricate the bearing
every 100 operating hours for relatively slow
rotating applications. Idle equipment should
not be neglected. Grease dries out and
"breathing" due to temperature changes can
cause condensation within the bearing.
Whether used or not, the bearing should have
grease introduced every 6 months. It is always
a good idea to rotate the bearing a few turns to
coat all surfaces with fresh grease.
Also when greasing bearing, inspect seals, making certain that they are in proper
position in grooves and intact. Check tightness of mounting bolts and retighten if needed.
Be alert to changes in rotation, unusual sounds, and vibrations.
