Generator Bearing - Lubricate


SMCS - 4471-086

Procedure for Bearing Service


Perform periodic bearing lubrication at the intervals that are shown in Table 1. Use the following
instructions as the suggested procedure in order to service the bearings of the generator.

Note: If the generator already has a visible grease point, go to Step 4.

1. Stop the generator set. Remove the required external cover plates, grills, and louvers of the
generator in order to access the bearings.

2. Remove the top grease pipe plug and the lower grease pipe plug. If no grease pipes can be found,
then locate the insert for the grease pipe. The insert is located on the bearing brackets. Remove
the inserts. Install the grease pipes.

3. Install a grease fitting in the top grease pipe.

4. Use a Cat® 8F-9866 Grease Gun or equivalent grease gun to grease the bearings. Use the
appropriate type of grease and the quantity that is listed in Table 1. Avoid the use of alternate
types of grease. Usage of alternate types of grease could cause premature bearing failure.

Note: Add only the amount of grease listed in Table 1. Do not continue to add grease until
purging is observed. Purging of grease will not always be observed.

5. If grease fittings are permanently installed, ensure that the protective caps for the grease fittings
are installed on the fittings when finished. If a grease fitting was installed in Step 2, remove the
top grease fitting and install the plug that was removed. If applicable, do not install the plug on
the bottom grease location yet. Wipe off the excess grease.

Note: Do not allow grease to drip on the stator windings of the generator. The stator windings
that are exposed to grease could suffer degraded insulation. The degraded insulation would cause
a reduction in the life of the windings.

6. Operate the generator set at rated speed for approximately 1 hour. When running the engine more
than 30 minutes, the recommended engine load to apply is a minimum of 50%. The procedure

will allow the grease to expand. The expanding grease will force the excess grease from the
cavity. The internal pressure will be reduced as the excess grease is forced from the cavity.
Operate the generator until no grease is forced out of the cavity.

7. Stop the generator set. Inspect the generator windings, grease tubes, and bearing housings. Wipe
off any excess grease. If a grease pipe plug was removed in Step 2, install the plug in the bottom
grease pipe. Wipe off any excess grease.

Note: Do not allow grease to drip on the stator windings of the generator. The stator windings
that are exposed to grease could suffer degraded insulation. The degraded insulation would cause
a reduction in the life of the windings.

8. Install all of the external cover plates, grills, and louvers of the generator that were removed in
order to access the bearings.

(1)
Indicates the alarm temperature set point that the bearing should be continuously operated at on the specified generator
frame size. Shutdown set points are typically 10° C (18° F) higher.
(2)
1800 frame generators and 3000 frame generators shipped before 2012 use double-shielded bearings with EA6 grease.
There are no threaded holes in the bearing brackets for the grease tubes that are used to add grease. Therefore, no grease
can be added to the bearings. Beginning in 2012, 1800 frame generators and 3000 frame generators that are shipped will
use a single-shielded bearing with 2S-3230 grease. The front and rear brackets contain factory installed grease fittings,

https://127.0.0.1/sisweb/sisweb/techdoc/techdoc_print_page.jsp?returnurl=/sisweb/sis... 24/02/2016
3512C Generator Set LDJ00001-UP(SEBP5799 - 07) - Documentation Page 7 sur 7

therefore, single-shielded bearings must be lubricated periodically. Reference the Parts Manual with package serial
number to identify the bearing part number and to determine bearing lubrication requirements.
(3)
All 2600 , 2700 , 1800 and 3000 frame generators shipped beginning in 2012, use a single-shielded bearing design.
Replacement bearings received from the Parts Division will have a shield on each side of the bearing. The shield facing
the outside of the generator must be removed when the new bearing is installed.
(4)
Grease cannot be added to this bearing. Refer to the Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Generator Bearing -
Replace" article for information concerning the replacement of these bearings.
(5)
The generator uses a non-shielded bearing design. Although replacement bearings may have a shield on each side, both
shields must be removed when the new bearing is installed. Replacement bearings are shipped as dry bearings and must
be packed to 50% grease fill at time of installation.

Bearing Replacement

Refer to the appropriate publication for each specific generator for bearing replacement procedures.

Replace both bearings of a two-bearing generator.

Replace any bearing wear sleeves and lip seals when the bearings are replaced.

Except for the 341-7383 Ball Bearing , replacement bearings are pre-lubricated. The pre-lubricated
bearings do not require additional grease at time of replacement. The 341-7383 Ball Bearing is shipped
as a dry bearing. The 341-7383 Ball Bearing must be packed to 50% grease fill at time of installation.

Old grease must be removed at the time of bearing replacement from the bearing bracket cavity. After
the bearing bracket cavity is cleaned, the bearing bracket cavity must be packed with new grease from
one-third to one-half full.

Note: Generator set alignment is required after the bearings are replaced.

Additional Information
Refer to Special Instruction, REHS4892, "Generator Bearing Service" for further information.
