Is grease good all the time?
(OP)
Just a question about grease. I have a rotary table with bronse bearings and they say in the instructions not to use grease.
I thought grease was good all the time?
Also we have been greaseing belts on our machines to bring the noise down. Does greasing a belt make sense?
I'm trying to understand why this company has these ideas.
Thanks

We put synthetic grease with teflon on the belts.
When I started working here this idea sounded strange because you don't put grease on car engine belts! I won't be able to change this idea even if it's wrong, but I'd like to know.

Ivory Soap is the best for belt lubrication.

In my experience, squeaky belts = slipping belts. *cringe* A slipping belt doesn't need lube.

Then we changed the filler in the plastic pulley to a conductive one and the problem went away.

Only one question, you could see the sparks in the dark, but how could you see to do any work?
