-
Use pillow for the right purpose and type of Bearings: True to its name, industrial pillows is the part that helps bearings be "supported" firmly, facilitating the implementation of the rotation. Therefore, it is necessary to choose pillows that match Bearings and machines to help the production line operate in long term.
- Regularly lubricating after periodical operation: Because it is difficult to access, consumers often forget it. Pillows need to be lubricated periodically so that they can promote flexibility and efficiency to help the machine operate smoothly without damage
- Regularly cleaning machines and pillows: Machines will be contaminated with dirt after a period of use. When cleaning the machine, be careful not to apply strong force to deform pillows.
