1.2.3 Cleaning and greasing
Cleaning
The components must be thoroughly cleaned to remove all foreign particles, machining residues and
old lubricants before they are greased.
Clean with a soft, lint-free cloth and non-abrasive cleaning agents. Check the compatibility of the clean-
ing agent with the materials to be cleaned.
Extremely thin grease lm
A barely continuous lm of grease covers the bearing surface so that a continuous lm of grease exists;
however, there is no detectable darkening due to the grease colour.
Recommendation:
Apply the grease with a paint brush, a ne bristle brush or similar. Remove surplus grease by wiping off
once with the respective system components.
Thin grease lm
A lm of grease covers the bearing surface so that a continuous lm of grease exists and the grease
colour darkens the surface slightly.
Recommendation:
Apply the grease with a paint brush, a ne bristle brush or similar.
Thin grease lm outside
A lm of grease covers the outer surface so that a continuous lm of grease exists and the grease colour
darkens the surface slightly.
Recommendation:
Apply the grease with a paint brush, a ne bristle brush or similar.
Grease reservoir
Grease quantity enclosed between two sealing rings or in the enclosed ring volumes.
