8.3 Replacing bearings<br />

8.3 Replacing bearings<br />

Note<br />

Bearing life depends very much on operating conditions. It is, there<strong>for</strong>e, very difficult to<br />

calculate it reliably. In the operating conditions specified by the operator, bearing life can be<br />

calculated and indicated on the rating plate. If no in<strong>for</strong>mation is given, changes in vibration<br />

and noise pattern can serve as an indicator that an immediate bearing replacement is<br />

necessary.<br />

8.4 Checking the gearbox <strong>for</strong> leaks<br />

Oil or grease escaping in small quantities from the shaft sealing ring should be regarded as<br />

normal during the running-in phase of 24 hours running time.<br />

If the quantities escaping are significant or leaking continues after the running-in phase, the<br />

shaft sealing ring must be replaced to prevent consequential damage.<br />

Shaft sealing rings are subject to natural wear. Service life depends on operating conditions.<br />

We recommend that shaft sealing rings are included in periodic maintenance and servicing<br />

work on the system.<br />
