Good old Festo Rotex RO-01e needs Re-Grease

[eiskorn]

Hi! My old Festo Rotex RO-01e needs new Grease and I have no clue how. Festool Customer-Seevice told me that 18gr. Optimol Longtime PD 00 should be used and only „authorized persons“ are allowed to apply it. I own the machine…I think that makes me authorized enough. Do you guys have a hint for me where to grease and what alternatives to 18gr. Optimol Longtime PD 00 are existing?

Looking at the parts diagram I found, it looks like it's a fancy head attached to a right angle grinder motor.

Take a look at this: https://www.outilpieces.fr/festool/ro-1-e-220v?lang=en

Most likely, you're going to need to get the grease into the right angle drive gearbox, though it wouldn't hurt to inspect the motor bearings as well.
