Grease Lubrication
Use greases selected from the following table:
FISKE BROS.
Lubriplate “Aero”
Lubriplate “Low-Temp”
MOBIL
Mobilith SHC-100
Mobilgrease XHP 221
Note:
FRSG-300 thru 1000 freewheels are shipped from
Ringspann packed with FISKE BROS. Lubricate “Aero”
Do not use lubricants containing EP (extreme
pressure) additives such as sulfur phosphate,
graphite or molybdenum disulfide.
Use no other greases unless a specific
recommendation has been made by Ringspann.
If ambient temperature of freewheel application is
below +20°F/-7°C or above +120°F/ + 55°C, consult
Ringspann for special lubricant recommendations.
Grease lubrication may be used if:
o
The freewheel is inaccessible for frequent
lubrication maintenance.
o
Conditions do not permit maintenance frequency
required for oil lubricated freewheels.
o
The freewheel orientation is vertical (or greater
than 5 degrees from horizontal).
o
The freewheel is operated in the presence of
severe abrasive dust.
Do not attempt to convert oil lubricated freewheels to
grease lubrication. Any such conversion may result
in malfunction and will void any warranty.
Grease Lubrication Maintenance
Add grease to freewheel once per month under normal
operating conditions. Under severe operating conditions,
such as heavy dust or twenty-four hours per day
operation, grease should be added every 2 weeks
Grease Lubrication Procedure
1.
Wipe all grease fittings clean and then pump new
grease into all fittings until clean grease flows out
around the seals on both sides of the freewheel.
2.
Lubrication should be done with the freewheel at
normal operating temperature.
Note:
Freewheels are designed to purge excess grease
during operation. Purge will stop as soon as internal
temperatures and pressures stabilize.
Use Recommended Greases Only
Freewheel Rebuilding Service
Disassembly and repair of Ringspann
freewheels in the field is not recommended and will void
any warranty.
Ringspann freewheels are precision devices
manufactured under careful controls to meet exacting
standards. When reconditioning is required, freewheels
