Nameplate Ambient Temperature above 65°C (150°F): Dow
Corning DC44 or equivalent, a special high temperature grease is
required. Note that Dow Corning DC44 grease does not mix with
other grease types.
4.2.2 BEARING OPERATING TEMPERATURE:
CAUTION: HOT SURFACE
The external surface temperature of the end shield (bracket) bearing
hub may reach 100° C (212° F) during normal operation. Touching
this surface may cause discomfort or injury. Surface temperatures
should only be measured with suitable instruments and not estimated
by hand touch.
For RTD settings see Table 3-7.

4.2.3 LUBRICATION INTERVALS: (For motors with regreasing provisions)
Eq. 4.2 Lubrication Interval = [(Table 4-1) hrs] x [Interval Multiplier (Table 4-2)] x [Construction Multiplier (Table 4-3)]
Table 4-1 Lubrication Intervals (Hours) These values are based on average use.
Operating Speed – RPM (See Table 3.4 for Maximum Operating Speed)
