![]() ![]() I appreciated the quick thinking on the part of the person fulfilling the order, as well as the honesty of the person who helped me sort out the discrepancy. Turns out the bearing I ordered wasn't in stock, so they substituted it with the more expensive bearing rather than cancel that part of the order, or put it on back order. The main difference between the two is in the contact angle. In addition to the S686ZZ bearings, I had also ordered a 7007ACM bearing, but received a 7007C bearing instead. I just followed up with someone who responded to me earlier about a separate issue with the same order. I did reach out on Friday about the issue with these particular bearings, but haven't heard anything back yet. ![]() Have you contacted the people you bought the bearings from for advice? Is Super Lube synthetic (NLGI 2) sufficient, or should I have selected a lighter weight grease, such as NLGI 1 or NLGI 0? Or should I have used oil instead of grease?Įdited by wcoastsands, 09 April 2019 - 11:11 AM. In this application, the bearings will only ever rotate at low speeds, and they'll never be under heavy load. The bearings now feel super smooth, but they don't spin anywhere like the did before. I ended up lubricating the bearings with Super Lube multi-purpose synthetic grease (NLGI 2) with Syncolon, only using a dab of it on the race between each ball bearing. I don't mind that they arrived dry, as this allows me to select my own lubricant, and apply the proper amount based on the use case. When I installed them without lubricant, they spun fast and freely, but then seemed as though the bearing cage would bind up with the bearings. I didn't realize this at first, since they were advertised as being pre-lubricated with grease. The bearings I've selected as replacements are ceramic S686ZZ stainless steel bearings, which arrived dry. It's also possible they just needed re-greasing, though. I could feel the bearings grind even after adjusting the tension rings properly. The stock JESA 686Z bearings were over tightened, which I believe may have caused excessive wear as a result. I'm rebuilding my Celestron AVX mount, and in the process am also replacing the worm gear bearings. It's a race against time as Swingy gathers Rubbaberries to pay the Big Bug for an elevator ride further up the tree.What lubricant should you use with worm gear bearings? I'm reaching out because I'm questioning my own decision here.
