Component Lubrication

Ball Bearing Components

Recommended Lubrication

• BALL-LUBE™
• Pint BALL-LUBE™ spray # ARL0161
• Gallon BALL-LUBE™ # ARL1281

Notes

• Lubricates assemblies providing protection against wear, oxidation and rust
• MSDS available upon request
• Alternative / refined mineral oil of viscosity 290/340 SSU @ 100 degrees F containing "EP" additives and rust inhibitors

Self-Lubricating Style Bushings or Wear Plates with Oil Impregnated Graphite Plugs

Recommended Lubrication

• Light 20 wt. oil should be applied to pre-lube the wear surface of the bushing.

Notes

• When bushing reaches 80-90 degrees F° because of friction between the components, oil is drawn from the plug thus lubricating the wear surface.

NEVER USE GREASE with the Self-Lubricating oil impregnated graphite plug products. Grease on the oil impregnated graphite plugs will prevent the self-lubricating process.

Plain Bearing Friction

Recommended Lubrication

• Quart # 9-01-52
• Gallon # 9-02-52
• (15) Gallons # 9-02-522
• (55) Gallons # 9-02-521

Notes

• Above die lubricant is specially prepared to provide efficient lubrication for guide post in plain bearing applications.
• Alternative, lithium complex white grease or multi-purpose grease.
