Recommendation/Action

 Check bearing clearance and housing for the

gearbox.
 Check alignment between motor and gearbox.
 Check Alignment between gearbox and the press
roll.
 Check gearbox lubrication Oil. The presence of
the GAPF frequency indicates that the oil could
be contaminated and need to be changed.
 Lubricate Press Bearing. To prolong the bearing
life grease/oil should be checked more frequently
