Full pack grease volumes

Grease for initial lubrication

The initial amount of grease is determined by adjusting the full pack volume for the operating speed and temperature. If the operating temperature is above 180°F(80°C), the bearing should be packed with 25% of the full pack amount regardless of speed. For temperatures below 180°F(80°C), the following chart should be used.

Speed in this case is expressed as dn (shaft diameter x rpm). The proper initial grease pack percentage for various dn ranges is shown below.
