SP8018 TRX SERVICING PIVOT 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.
