Lubrication of Printing Presses
"Eine OBU wird vorgefettet angeliefert, so wird sichergestellt, dass das richtige Fett mit der richtigen Menge an der richtigen Stelle im ***Changierlager*** ist. Weiterhin wird diese Einheit innerhalb des Herstellerwerkes unter besonderer Bedachtnahme hinsichtlich der Sauberkeit montiert, damit das Risiko von Verschmutzung minimiert wird."
From a text about printing press lubrication. OBU stands for oscillating bearing unit. Changierlager obviously refers to another kind of bearing, but what the Changier bit means here, I have absolutely no idea! Iridescent bearing is about the only idea I can extract from the dictionaries (by looking up "changieren"), but this gets not search engine support. TIA for any light you can shed on this most odd word.
