Compatibility and
miscibility with
anti-corrosion agents
The anti-corrosion agents in bearings with an oil-based preservative
are compatible and miscible with lubricating oils having a mineral
oil base. Compatibility must be checked if, for example, synthetic
lubricants are to be used.
If there is an incompatibility, wash out the anti-corrosion oil before
greasing. This is necessary in the following cases:
■
products based on alkoxyfluoroether
■
products based on polyglycol oil
■
use of silicone oils
■
change of lubricant
■
contamination of the bearings
If in doubt, please contact the relevant lubricant manufacturer.
Cleaning of bearings
In general, it is not necessary to remove the anti-corrosion agents
from bearings coated with an oil-based preservative.
Risk of damage due to the introduction of contaminants.
Contaminants can impair the function and operating life of bearings.
Use a lint-free cloth to clean the external surfaces of the bearing only.
Check the contaminant content of the cleaning baths. A contaminant
content of 0,1% must not be exceeded.
Cleaning can be carried out using:
■
organic cleaning agents
– paraffin oil free from water and acid,
petroleum ether (not petrol), freon 12 substitutes
■
thin, clean oil for hot cleaning
– oil with a flash point of at least +250 °C should be used and
heated to approx. +120 °C
– in addition to effective cleaning, this method also protects
the bearings temporarily against corrosion
Legal regulations on environmental protection and on health and
safety at work in the respective country of use must be observed,
in addition to application information provided by the manufacturer
of the product used.
