The biggest technical issue with using oil to lube the trunnions is that the top seal is crude and will let water in to contaminate the oil rapidly. If you use a water proof grease this forms a positive barrier to prevent the water that gets past the seal reaching deeper into the trunnion and affecting the lubrication of the trunnion.
I use Johnson's Paste Wax, applied with an old tooth brush. It surface dries making sawdust not stick to it easily. I use it for both the gears and trunions. For the …
If an oil film isn't present between the two bearing surfaces, the metal to metal contact will cause this damage to the oil channels. Then the bearing will not be able to get enough oil on start up. In extreme cases the bearing may be destroyed. Once the mill is turning the bearing is self-lubricated by OIL RINGS. They should be checked ...
I don't tilt my table saw blade often and, whenever I do, it is nearly seized. I have been using spray graphite on the trunnions. I know, I know, I should work it more and lubricate more but, what kind of lube do other folks use ?
The recommended lubricant for TR6 trunnions (steering swivels) is gear oil. Unfortunately, it is diffcult to fill the trunnions with the oil while the assembly is still on the car. There is a grease nipple on the trunnion (at the upper part) but typically using a grease gun loaded with oil results in a huge mess. An alternative is to use grease ...
If gear oil is what you want, both of these are GL4, so should cause no harm to the brassy looking trunnions. YMMV! CARQUEST Fluids/Oils/Greases Bravo Gear Oil - EP 90 - API Service GL-4, 1 gallon jug, sold by each Part Number: 990-01 Price: $13.99
GL4 is the factory recommended lubricant for the trunnions on a TR6. Personally, I think almost anything "oily" would probably work fine, but it's hard to go too far wrong following the factory recommendation. ... So, periodic and regular application of oil to the trunnions not only lubricates but helps keep the trunnions clean. Don't use ...
The TR3A has a grease fitting at the bottom of the trunnion for this and in 1958, there was no mention of oil lube for the trunnions - only grease. Since 1990, I have driven more than 78,000 miles with regular greasing of the trunnions about every 3,000 miles but on occasion, drove more than 7,000 miles with no problem.
I`ve used grease for 30 years, and never had an issue. I replace all the bushings once when I purchase the car, and lube once, or twice a year with whatever grease is in my gun. I have removed a pair after a few years to paint the a arms, and found the groves full of clean grease, and no sign of wear. Oil is also fine if it does not leak out.
The rotating shafts need a different type of lubricant in the bearings or bushings. My table saw accumulates dust in the tilting gears and then, if you try to tilt it, the dust gets packed in between the teeth and it gets jammed up. ... detergents mild to severe, ultrasonic cleaner, physical scrubbing with every media you can name, all of which ...
The key is to lube regularly. I'm in the grease camp. Twice a year even if you have done negligible mileage and don't skimp, over filling with oil or grease helps to push or wash out any grit or debris that might …
Yes same function as kingpins, just a newer tech, but not as new as ball joints which is the current tech. The debate over oil versus grease for trunnions is, the pro oil guys say the oil allows wear particles to fall to the bottom space of the trunnion that then get flushed out next time it is oiled reducing wear.

Here's how to use a lube, says Dr. Streicher: "The time to apply lubricant is before you attempt intercourse. You squeeze it on your fingers, and if there's a penis involved, you apply it ...
I find that the propellant in the spray lubricant has a shelf life (depending on how long it has been been in stock at the distributor or how long you have owned it). So eventually the spray starts to "spit and sputter" leaving "globs" that are hard to buff out. So I find that a paste wax, such as Renaissance Wax, works much better and provides ...
The OP asked about trunnions in a band saw, much different than the gears in a table saw. For my table saw I use dry lube. Clean and coat once a month. My band saw does not get that much saw dust under the table and the trunnions take more than a few minutes to take apart, clean, and re-lube.

According to the Bentley manual you put 90 sae lubricant in them, when I took them apart they had grease, was this incorrect? Thanks. Joe 73 Triumph TR6 ... I installed new trunnions and seals, mine where worn, had wobble, I filled with 80/90 weight oil. Joe ... You need the 90wt oil in there: The grease, while slick will not continuously …
I am getting the car road ready, and figured I should lubricate the trunnions and the rear bearings - front with oil, rear with grease. I also used the Sta-Lube in the transmission, too - seemed like it would be okay, and again since I had a little extra (except now the darn thing is leaking since it actually has the right amount of oil in it).

The other issue I have with 3 in 1 is that it's a light oil so I like it for more detailed things, but for something like a trunnion I'd like something with a smidge ...
I think the idea is the trunnion is a dead end threaded tube and you brim it with oil so the vertical link screws up and down in a bath of oil. There shouldnt be any …
EP90 oil is the recemmended lubricant. Grease can lead to the trunnions running dry. Not sure how often but 3-5000 miles rings a bell. James Whiting used to sell an oil gun for around £10. This combined with a cotton cloth over the nipple made the job a doddle. Steve Se7en-Up! Not going to you know where with you know who in 2004 😬

But it seems oil is also wrong, and what I did with the semi-liquid grease may be OK but I presume it was diluted by the oil. In the TR Register we used to debate what lube to use on the trunnions. The TSM said oil, but many people used grease and it seems so long as it's refreshed every year so it doesn't clog up, that works OK.

Instead of dissembling and rebuilding a joint that is no longer grease-able, the penetrating oil frees up the dry grease by softening it and diluting it, and then allows you to add new grease to the joint once …
If the oil is going through the nipple you should see the oil coming out under the rubber seal. And the use of grease has always been contentious as it solidifies in the …
I have used moly grease for past 30 years, and 250,000mile and one set of replacement trunnions. When greasing, the spent grease is forced up past the upper …
Our trunnion kits are compatible with stock rocker bolts and the easy assembly kits only require snap ring pliers and lube.

Fill it with the proper oil, fit the head over the trunnion nipple and pump in the oil until it comes out the bottom. Works perfectly, recommended.

I ask because sometimes I wonder If where the barrel pivots on the trunnions the tolerances are so close that the grease gets squeezed out effectively leaving the metal in unprotected contact. I was thinking the EP grease …
