[TowerTalk] Ham Antenna Rotator: The Teardown

[k7lxc at aol.com]

>  Years ago I remember reading to not use grease on the ball bearings as it just attracts dust and dirt. And, that the design from the factory did not call for grease. Is this correct or should one use a grease on the ball bearings?
    I think you're confusing the rotator ball bearings with the ball bearings in the Rohn thrust bearings. Grease the rotator. Do not grease the thrust bearing.
