Re: Bearing/insulating sleeve lubrication?

Thanks all for participate.
Personaly i neither use grease much, as a matter a fact almost only when replacing fuser parts on production machines because SM clearly notes to do that and i dont like to be smart ass to ignore it
I send inquiry for 00GR00260 grease and it does not matter if it is expensive, it can last long if use wisely.
Just today i replace some fuser parts on C1085 and see that old factory grease, it still look fresh and "greasy" after almost 500k.

@Bix can you maybe know what is the price roughly, I won't know until Monday?

Hi, I got 00GR00260 grease from Konica Minolta.
This is resistant to very high temperatures and is perfect for lubrication and noise. But definitely expensive!
You don't have to put in much, you almost have to brush it and it's still efficient.

Agreed, I've been using the same little jar for the past 5 years and still not running out. Also, this is what's recommended for the 4/8/9 series fuser bearing kits.

Re: Bearing/insulating sleeve lubrication?

I have problem to find good lubricant when replacing new bearing and insulating sleeves.
I try some lubricants in spray bootle but all are pretty much liquid and it does not stay on surface for long time i think.
Also i think it does not like high temeprature in fusing units...
Once i got small cup of some lubricant from colleague and it looks like white hand creame, suppose to be from KM originally but i don know how to order that.


PS: I just try search Infohub and find this
00GR00260 Grease(Multemp FF-RM)

Are you use this or something else?

We use High-Temp Silicone grease. Specifically: Dow Corning Molykote 44M
It can be found in various size containers at verious prices. Here is an Amazon link to the tube we buy, and then divide it up into smaller containers. A little goes a LONG way...

I have some special grease from Japan that was like 800.00 for the tube. I didn't buy it, some other tech ordered it a couple years ago.
I either use fuser oil or solder seal plumbers heat-pruf grease.
Never greased fuser sleeves, they are made to be used dry.

Re: Bearing/insulating sleeve lubrication?

Yes, 00GR00260 is correct for Multi temp grease for Konica Minolta Production machines. Only about a teaspoon worth in each container, but it's what you will want for bushings. Otherwise, using something like SuperLube, your bushings will disintegrate prematurely and could result in broken fuser heat lamps. I won't admit how I know this

Re: Bearing/insulating sleeve lubrication?

Thanks man.
I dont know what is weight but last time i got this grease it was small bottle but i lost it somewhere.
I think there is not over 20-30 grams but can last long if use only when really need.
