The spindle of my milling machine has a plate that specifies Vitrea oil 72 for the gears but Alvania Grease 3 for the bearings.
I suspect that the top bearing needs grease because there is no prospect of it getting enough oil by splash. I further suspect that the bottom bearing needs grease because it serves to keep the oil in… There is no hint of an oil seal. I wonder why? It does mean that the operator needs to wear overallas as the grease/oil mix dribbles out and spins off. I am considering retro-fitting an oil seal, does anyone see any obvious problems with such a plan? -- atp If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn the latest--Visual Studio 2012, SharePoint 2013, SQL 2012, more!
