    Re: fuser grease

    Ricoh fuser bearing come from the factory packed with a fluorinated grease called Barrierta. If you mix any other type of grease with fluorinated grease they nullify each others lubrication properties. DuPont Krytox grease is a fluorinated grease completely compatible with Barrierta with an even wider operating temperature range. Available from Image Supply Service. Image Supply Service

    MolyKote 300 is used for fuser gearing, actually listed as a part as well.

    I'd call MolyKote and find some heat friendly spec-ed grease, help line lady is friendly.

    I don't know if it is available anymore, but I used to use Slick 50 One Lube grease when I ran out of the high temp version of Krytox back in the day.

    In 17 years I have never put grease on fuser gears so I have no use for it now either.

    Hot roller bushings would always make knocking noises on Ricohs so grease was the only fix. I doubt anyone wants to grease fuser gears.

    NEVER use any grease of any sort on plastic drive gears and especially not if you have cluch's in the area. Factory only uses grease on plastic gears to make them quiet, problem is that it slowly finds its way into your cluch's and causes intermittent jamming with no known cure. You can spray the cluch's out with alcohol and it usually fixes it. You can also spray all that grease on the gears with alcohol and swap out your cluches. This problem usually is found inside drive units or drive gear box's with cluch's involved. NOTE: Some Canon production machines use heavy fuser units with metal gears wich require special grease. In this case, when in doubt, use Mobil 1 red synthetic or Molycoat grease. Some Copier manufactures in this case call for special grease that costs 100.00 per ounce! Again, in this case use Mobil 1 red. Super lube oil or Tri Flow does nothing. Remember, on Office type copiers, no plastic gear ever needs grease. -Mike Gingell of Advanced Copier Solutions.

    Use Mobil 1 red and forget about Barrierta grease that's costs about 100.00 for an ounce. Also, never use any grease of any sort on plastic drive gears, it will find its way into your cluch's. Factory only uses it to make machines quiet. Its a disaster. Only production machines with steel gears need gease. They also don't have cluch's nearby.

    You may try Chemplex grease for long lasting and high temperature. Its work well on all types of copiers.

    You won't like Chemplex. It smokes and stinks like a bad running deisel truck. You'll have better results with Molycote HP500 or Uniflor 8172.
    If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
    1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
    2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
    3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
    4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
    5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.
