Alternative greases
If it is not possible to use the original grease, the
alternative greases listed in Table 7.2 can be used, under
the following conditions:
1. The motor speed must not exceed the limit speed of
the grease, according to the type of rolling bearing, as
informed in Table 7.3;
2. The lubrication interval must be corrected by
multiplying the interval informed on the bearing
nameplate by the multiplication factor informed in
Table 7.2;
3. Use the correct procedure to change the grease,
according to section 1.1.1.1 of this manual.
