9. Lubrication greases
SANDEX units use an oil bath lubricating system. In certain mounting positions, the bearings sit
above the oil level. In this case, a sealed lubricating device is installed exclusively for the bearings and
grease nipples are attached wherever grease must be reapplied. Note, your SANDEX has already been
greased prior to initial operation. Apply grease every 2000 to 4000 hours of operation.
9.1 Supplying lubricating grease
(1)
If the mounting position of the Alpha index output flange is horizontal, parallel to
the ground, grease needs to be applied to the bearing by the grease fitting supplied
on the output stationary flange.
(2)
Supply 5 to 30 g per shot according to the SANDEX model you are using. Old
grease will fall into the oil basin and will be drained when the lubricating oil is
replaced.
