Once the final conditions have been clarified with the customer, ZKL workers together with construction workers of the mining company began the installation itself. Practical training was also provided during the whole installation. The bearings are lubricated with the grease ZKL LVT 2EP. Bearing elements are equipped with electronic temperature sensors. These sensors allow monitoring of bearing temperature directly from the service office. Vibration level of the bearings was measured during the initial operation.
