6-Inch Lazy Susan Bearings

TYPE OF LUBRICANT

GREASE LUBRICATION 

Bearings with grease fittings are NOT factory lubricated. Grease should be applied with a pressure gun at the time of installation, filling the ball unit and bearing until grease appears at the shaft surface.

Grease for a lubrication is recommended for applications with lower speeds and loads. Because the grease restricts contaminants from entering it is preferred for dusty and dirty applications.

PLASTIC E LUBE

Gulf Plastic Petroleum “E” feeds slowly through the bushing by capillary action, replacing dissipated lubricant. Factory-lubricated ball units may be closed balls or equipped with removable plugs for relubrication.

SAE 30 NON-DETERGENT OIL

FOR BEARING BALL WITH BUSHING

Triangle Steel Bearing Ball Units have large oil retaining felts for substantial lubricant capacity. Once the bearing is in use and the ball and felt saturated with oil, long bearing life may be expected under proper operating conditions. The standard oil supplied is a good grade of industrial mineral oil, NON-DETERGENT, SAE 30 viscosity. Bearing use at elevated or very low temperatures may require oil of different viscosity. Triangle recommends relubrication of bearings at the time of installation even though a full supply of oil is provided at the factory. Conditions encountered during shipping and storage may cause some oil loss.

FOR SINTERED BEARINGS

Triangle’s sintered bearings are oil impregnated with SAE30-Non-Detergent oil. These bearings are porous which allows for the bearing to be constantly re-lubricated while being used.

BEARINGS WITH SPECIAL LUBRICANT

Triangle is not limited to the lubrication methods described above. If you require a special lubricant, please contact us. We will be happy to discuss that requirement with you.
