SECTION SIX - LUBRICATION
6.1 OIL LUBRICATION
6.1.1 Recommended Lubricant
The recommended bearing frame oil is ISO VG 68 non-detergent oil. Turbine quality oil is preferred. This oil may
be used during break-in and normal operation.
6.1.2. Method of Application
Customer must fill bearing frame before startup. The bearing frame is supplied with a sight glass. Fill the bearing
frame with oil according until the middle of the oil sight.
Pour oil into the bearing frame through the breather connection located at the top of the bearing frame, leaving
an amount equal to the capacity of constant level oiler bottle apart. The correct level is observed in the middle
of the oil sight glass.
• Oil level should be determined by using sight glass in bearing frame. Oil level in
optional constant level oiler does not correspond to oil level in bearing frame.
• Ruhrpumpen takes every precaution during our assembly process and
subsequent final assembly audits to ensure no Bearing Frame oil leaks exist
prior to shipment. Oil can leak past the labyrinth seal in an “overfill” condition.
