Describe the three ways in which ball bearings are lubricated and how often each should be done.

What will be an ideal response?


The permanently lubricated bearings are sealed at the factory and only rarely require additional lubrication. The packed lubrication of ball bearings is done by hand; the bearing must be disassembled and hand packed with grease every two to five years. Many ball bearings are equipped with a grease fitting and should be lubricated every two years.
