Remove the drain plug (magnetic plug) and clean it at least twice a year. This will also
drain out any sediment from the pinionshaft housing.

9.5 Spider bearing lubrication

The motion of the mainshaft in the spider bearing is both gyratory and rotary. The speed is
relatively low and the pressure is high. It is important that the correct grade of lubricant is
used so that the grease can penetrate to the bearing surfaces.

Requirement specification

The grease must comply with the demands in the table below in order to guarantee
lubrication of the spider bearing for long periods, under conditions of vibration and
extremely high loads. In addition, the grease must provide good protection against
corrosion. The spider bearing contains components of alloyed steel, cast iron and nitrile
rubber. The grease must therefore be harmless to these materials.

Table 9.5.1 Spider bearing grease specification.

The recommended operating temperature range is -10 C to +100 C. For operation under
extreme ambient temperatures, contact the lubricant supplier.

Grease quantity

The grease must fill the spider bearing up to the top of the spider bushing. See Table 9.5.2.
When the spider bearing is being greased, the mainshaft must be in its lowest position.
Grease can be pumped in through a channel in one of the topshell spider arms.

Checking and changing the grease

During the first few weeks of operation, the grease level should be checked daily by
unscrewing the plug in the spider cap. If an unusually large quantity of grease is observed
on the mainshaft beneath the spider bearing, it is possible that the spider bearing seal has
been damaged. It is important to keep the mainshaft free of grease and stone dust
accumulations to prevent such contamination being pressed into the spider bearing through
the spider bearing seal each time the mainshaft is raised. The grease level should be
checked frequently and new grease should be added when necessary. Naturally, the spider
bearing seal must be replaced as quickly as possible. See Sections 11.1 and 11.2.

Alongside the grease nipple on one of the topshell arms there is a decal which shows the
type of grease pumped into the spider bearing before delivery. Do not mix greases of
different types.

When a new mantle and/or concave is fitted, the spider bearing and seal should be carefully
cleaned and then filled with new grease. To avoid unscheduled stoppages, we recommend
that the spider bearing seal should be changed each time the liners are changed.
