12. Lubrication Specifications
DESCRIPTION – BEARINGS
All SEM security disintegrators and accessories are supplied with pillow block bearings which are pre-lubricated from the
factory. The external mounting of bearings on the SEM security disintegrators results in a trouble free, low maintenance, and
long-life bearing design.
The pillow block bearings used require a high quality, lithium based, extreme pressure type of grease which conforms to the
NGLI Grade 2 consistency. This grease has been chosen due to its suitability for use in heavy duty applications under heavy
shock loads. It also contains rust inhibitors, has high temperature stability, and exhibits good water resistance.
RECOMMENDED GREASE PRODUCTS
AMOCO: AMOLITH EP 2
CASTROL: EP2
EXXON: RONEX MP
GULF: CROWN #2
MOBIL : MOBILITH AW #2
SHELL : ALVANIA EP LF #2
SUNOCO: SUNAPLEX #2
TEXACO: MULTIFAK EP #2
The pillow block bearings should be lubricated with care. Too much grease applied to the bearings at one time can rupture the
bearing seals. Under normal operating conditions, a moderate amount of grease applied every 2,000 hours should be adequate
to ensure long life. Severe operating conditions will require more frequent lubrication intervals.
