CONVEYOR LUBRICATION INFORMATION
GENERAL
Lubrication of the CAMCO’s Precision Link
Conveyors is largely dependent upon Work
Environment, Conveyor Loading and Cycle
Rate, therefore a “standard” lube interval can-
not be established but instead should be deter-
mined by the Customer based on the above
conditions.
The following is a recommendation for “Clean”
Environment “Moderate” Loading and “30”
Cycles per min.
Lubrication should be done at Take-Up end of
the conveyor with the link in dwell and the motor
stopped.

LUBRICATION OF SPROCKET
BEARINGS
The flange bearings supporting the Sprocket/
Input Shaft should be lubricated, approx. every
2000 working hours, with NGLI #3 bearing
grease.
LUBRICATION OF PRECISION
LINKS
Followers equipped with lube fitting should be
given a shot of Lithium Soap grease having a
#1 consistency at least once every 2000 hours
of operation, or 6 months, whichever is less.
In order to lubricate the link support followers
(10), it may be necessary to remove any mount-
ing fixtures or tooling which may have been
added by the machine builder other than
CAMCO, if provisions have not been made to
access these lube fittings.
To lubricate the link pin followers (3), the con-
veyor drive should be placed in dwell, at which
time the lube fittings can be accessed through
the holes provided in the straight or radical
guides. Index once and repeat the procedure
until all the links have been lubricated.
NOTE: Both top and bottom guide rails (car-
ousel), and left and right guide rails
(over and under) have the lube access
holes. Both should be lubricated.
NOTE: If only one access hole is provided in
each side, it may be necessary to
hand crank the reducer until the lube
fittings appear. Repeat this procedure
until all links have been lubricated.
