Grinder care, storage and replacement wear parts

Updated on Nov 14, 2026

Follow the care and inspection instructions for your grinder and its motor/VFD. Before inspection, isolate the machine from power and allow moving parts to stop.

Before use

  • Inspect the belt, wheels, mounting hardware and tension components for damage or changes from normal operation.
  • Check that the correct hardware and spacers are fitted and that nothing interferes with the belt path.
  • Stop if there is unusual noise, vibration, heat or a damaged component; ask for guidance before further use.

Storage and unfinished steel

Keep the equipment dry. Unfinished steel needs corrosion protection suitable for the component and its instructions. Keep oil and other treatments away from abrasive belts, wheel running surfaces and electrical components. Contact us if you are unsure what treatment is appropriate.

Bearings and tension parts

Do not assume sealed bearings or a gas strut can be repaired by opening them. Identify the correct replacement assembly first, especially on an older grinder. See replacement-parts identification and the bearing-style guides.
