15. Plastic lubricants and grease.
An equipment manufacturer should provide a type of lubricant in equipment operating instructions and in detailed
instructions. When selecting lubricants, the following operating conditions of the equipment are considered:
- working temperature,
- revolutions,
- loads,
- environment (dust, water, aggressive gasses, etc.)
- lubricant systems,
Plastic lubricant condensation temperature or grease decomposition temperature must be higher by at least
30oC from the temperature of the lubricated element's work. Basic parameters of lubricants must be inspected
before use. If lubricant is used in a central lubrication system, appropriate temperature and working pressures
must be respected. It is prohibited to mix lubricants with oils. Do not mix different types and sorts of
lubricants and kerosene lubricants with synthetic lubricants.
