Lubrication schedule
5.2.4.1 Oil lubricated bearings
Normal oil change intervals are 4 000 operating hours
or at least every 6 months. For pumps on hot service
or in severely damp or corrosive atmosphere, the oil will
require changing more frequently. Lubricant and
bearing temperature analysis can be useful in
optimizing lubricant change intervals.
The lubricating oil should be a high quality mineral oil
having foam inhibitors. Synthetic oils may also be used
if checks show that the rubber oil seals will not be
adversely affected.
The bearing temperature may be allowed to rise to
50 ºC (122 ºF).above ambient, but should not exceed
82 ºC (180 ºF). A continuously rising temperature, or
an abrupt rise, indicate a fault.
