Are Shops Adding Incompatible Grease? |
|
Always specify the grease to be used by the companies that rebuild your motors (and other equipment with greased bearings). If you don't, the grease they use may be incompatible with grease you use to replenish the bearing lubricant. It would be time well spent to visit a frequently used shop, and ask someone on the shop floor to show you how he or she knows what grease to add to your equipment bearings. (Van Richard, Sr. Reliability Engineer, Georgia Gulf)
