INTRODUCTION TO CONSTANT LEVEL LUBRICATION

C onstant level oilers are designed to maintain a predetermined


oil level in a sump, which is necessary for proper lubrication.
If the oil level were to drop below this point, the depleted oil
would automatically be replenished by the lubricator, returning it to
its original level. With the use of constant level oilers, maintenance
efficiencies can be increased, while minimizing maintenance costs,
and the loss of production time. Direction of shaft rotation

The majority of constant level oilers available are adjustable,


allowing for use in many applications. However, there are oilers Vented constant level oiler with
available that do not allow for fluid level adjustability, eliminating side connection
potential installation errors. Typically, constant level oilers are
mounted on the side of the equipment facing the direction of shaft
rotation. Some oilers allow for bottom mounting, on the oil sump,
which prevents the oiler from misfeeding during applications that
contain currents and turbulence formed by slinger rings, discs, and
high rotating speeds.
In most cases constant level oilers are vented to the outside Direction of shaft rotation

atmosphere to work properly. Since these oilers are vented to the


atmosphere, especially in harsh, dirty environments, contaminants
are allowed to enter the lubricating oil. These contaminants are
in the forms of moisture and/or particulate which are extremely
Vented constant level oiler with
damaging to oil and equipment life. bottom connection
In order to combat the potential for oil contamination, the closed
system oiler was developed. These oilers are effective in minimizing
and eliminating the ingression of contaminants into the oil sump,
especially in dirty environments. Some closed system oilers contain
a pressure balancing line, which is connected from the headspace of
the oil sump to an air chamber built into the surge body of the oiler.
This air chamber is sealed from the outside atmosphere in order to
prevent the ingression of contaminants. Additional types of closed Direction of shaft rotation
system oilers are available that mount directly on the centerline of
the oil level to be maintained. The exchange of air between the oil
sump and the oiler is at the oilers base, which is mounted directly Closed system oiler with pressure
to the oil sump. balancing line
Several different types of constant level oilers are available to meet
specific application needs, whether it is vented or non-vented,
adjustable or nonadjustable they are an easy and effective method
of maintaining proper oil level in equipment.

EQUALIZER EXPANSION CHAMBERS

Equalizer Expansion Chambers are designed to prevent pressure increase


in closed systems. A rolling diaphragm provides a variable volume, that
when properly sized, maintains oil housing pressure at or near zero PSI.
The reduced pressure will extend seal life and help prevent leakage.
Expansion chambers also protect the integrity of closed systems by
preventing the exchange of air from the chamber to the surrounding
atmosphere. A choice of thread sizes offers flexibility to the user.

INTRODUCTION TO OIL SAMPLING / ANALYSIS

OIL SAMPLING

C
ontamination of machinery lubricants is a major problem for many manufacturers. In fact, it has been stated that six to
seven percent of the gross national product ($240 Billion) is required just to repair the damage caused by mechanical
wear, which is caused by contamination. However, when contamination is controlled, the life span of a machines vital
components can be extended by as much as 50 times. Its for these reasons and many more that routine sampling is done.
The process of sampling is not only a vital and necessary function in identifying contaminants
and contamination levels, but also in understanding the current and future requirements of
the equipment and the quality of the lubricant in general. Regularly scheduled oil sampling
and analysis programs have become an increasingly important tool for uncovering information
necessary to extend the life of your equipment and oil change intervals and minimize
maintenance costs associated with oil change outs, labor, repairs and downtime.
Oil sampling technology today is making the process of collecting and analyzing samples
much more effective and accurate. Trico offers the latest sampling supplies and accessories,
including sample ports and collection devices, which are
designed to extract system and component specific samples that are both representative
and repeatable from the best diagnostic locations in the most effective ways possible.

OIL ANALYSIS
Understanding the concept of oil sampling and the benefits involved is an important part
of total lubrication management, however, reaping the benefits may require much more.
Often, it requires an intimate knowledge of the equipment, its internal design, the system
design, the present operating and environmental conditions, the ability to regularly test
samples in a safe and contaminant-free environment and recommend and implement
corrective actions as needed.
With these challenges in mind, Trico now offers services to inspect, analyze, and report on the operating conditions of entire
manufacturing facilities machinery. Trico offers technical assistance to improve, repair and/or modify equipment and lubrication
procedures to meet performance goals and offers on-site or in-house training on best-in-practice ways of implementing lubricant
screening regimens, equipment and plant assessments and lubrication management programs.

These services include:


Training - Internationally-recognized courses on Lubrication Management and Oil Analysis can bring equipment
maintenance best practices up to speed.
Assessments - Assessments are a critical step in improving the overall lubrication program within a plant. Trico assesses
and rates your current program compared to industry Best Practices. We then provide a detailed report
summarizing opportunities for improvement in key areas versus current efforts and conditions.
Audits - An audit is performed to obtain information about the specified equipment including the internal design, the
system design, the present operation and environmental conditions. Trico will gather the necessary information
and outline recommended equipment lubrication requirements.
Consulting - Tricos specialists in lubrication and PdM program implementation, documentation integration, and root
cause analysis provide practical solutions in the interest of extending asset reliability and helping people operate
more proactively.
Oil Analysis - Trico is a leading provider in predictive condition monitoring. Oil samples are taken and analyzed as a
preventative maintenance tool and/or diagnostic means to determine cause of equipment failure. Oil is tested
for a variety of critical factors including water, particulate, and wear material.

RESERVOIR BREATHER KITS

Because airborne contaminants can quickly disrupt and negate your sample,
Trico offers specially designed Breather Kits. These kits feature a two-stage
breather system that utilizes a filter to block airborne particles and desiccant to
remove harmful, unwanted moisture. The system ensures a permanent closure
on all hydraulic reservoirs and makes sure the lubricating fluid remains closed
off from airborne contamination throughout the sampling process.
An optional filter reminder vacuum gauge can be used to indicate when the
filter element on the breather has become clogged.
A male quick connect can be plumbed to the 6-bolt adapter plate (this
plate replaces the standard filler/breather cap) to fit a down pipe for filling
reservoirs with new oil through a filter cart without opening the system to the
environment.
For static sampling of oil from the system reservoir, the 6-bolt adapter
plate can incorporate a sample port connected to a sample tube. The tube
conveniently extends to the middle of the fluid level in the system reservoir to
allow samples to be taken from the exact location inside the system every time.

FEATURES
Optional filter reminder indicates remaining life of filter element
Color coded desiccant changes colors indicating replacement is needed, when
maximum adsorption is reached
Optional sample port is available with sampling drop tubes of 12, 18, and 24 in length

INTRODUCTION TO MOISTURE REMOVAL SYSTEMS

M oisture in lubricating oils is the root cause of prematurely


damaging oil and accelerating wear of machine
components. As water invades your fluids it will not only
attack the additives in the oils, destroying their beneficial properties;
but it will also cause damage to the machine surfaces through
Dissolved water
(invisible)

corrosion, and rapidly degrade the oil through increased oxidation.


By understanding the effects of water contamination, it is easy to
see the importance of moisture detection and removal.
Oil water emulsion
Once water has entered the lubricant, it can exist in one or more of (cloudy)
the following forms; dissolved, emulsified, or free water. Free water
(phase separation)

Dissolved water contains water molecules that are dispersed one- Three stages of water within a lubricating oil
by-one through the air in contact with, or within the lubricant.
This form of water is invisible to the naked eye.
Emulsified water contains microscopic pockets of water that are
dispersed in stable suspension in the oil. As the oil ages this area
of water will expand, causing the lubricant to look cloudy.
Free water is the phase separation of emulsified water.
Free water when mixed with the lubricant readily settles to the
bottom of the equipment.
The most damaging forms of water contamination, to both the
lubricant and equipment, are emulsified and free water. Therefore,
it is important to measure, and/or remove water contamination
prior to the formation of emulsified and free water.
By the time free water becomes visible, damage is
already occurring to the oil and equipment.
REMOVING WATER CONTAMINATION
A proven method of removing water contamination from lubricating
fluids is using silica gel technology. Silica gel extracts water vapor from
the air as it is drawn through a silica gel bed, as well as covering a
wide range of temperatures. Most units using silica gel technology to
remove moisture provide a fail-proof method of determining when
replacement is necessary. Trico
incorporates a visual indicator to
accomplish this. The silica gel used
changes from gold to dark green
when maximum adsorption has
been reached.
Trico provides products that will
remove moisture from lubricating
oils; however the root cause of
moisture contamination should
be identified and corrected to

WATCHDOG DESICCANT BREATHERS

Watchdog Desiccant Breathers ensure optimum protection of industrial equipment by prohibiting the entry of moisture and
particulate contamination. Contaminants enter industrial equipment as pressure differentials or fluid level changes occur. The
Watchdog Breathers are ideal for circulating oil systems, oil sumps, process tanks, storage tanks, vacuum systems, hydraulic
systems, transformer cases, or anywhere that equipment needs to be dry and clean.
Watchdog Desiccant Breathers perform two very important functions.
1. They adsorb unwanted moisture inside industrial equipment using silica gel technology. Unwanted moisture can lead to
corrosion, shortened fluid life, and additive depletion.
2. They collect airborne solid particles by means of a dual, anti-static filter system. This reduces the amount of abrasive and
damaging contaminants that create sludge build-up inside the fluid reservoir.

FEATURES
Bi-directional air flow - A 360 air flow allows air to be breathed in and out as fluid Solid Contaminant

Air Diffuser
Dual filtration system - A two micron filter is located at the top and bottom of the
silica gel bed. The top filter removes particle contamination from atmospheric air and 360 Air Flow
the bottom helps with dust created by the silica gel beads contacting each other.
Water vapor adsorbent - The silica gel used in the Watchdog Desiccant Breathers
adsorb up to 40% of its own weight.

HIGH-VISCOSITY GEAR & LUBE OIL FILTRATION SYSTEM

In the past choices were very limited when it came to


filtering lubricants with viscosities greater than 500 SUS
@ 100F. Now Trico offers a solution with our High-
Viscosity Gear and Lube Oil Filtration System. The problem
with attempting to filter a high viscosity oil with a lower
viscosity system is that the pump and filters are not
designed to work with higher pressures required to push
high viscosity fluids through the system. As a result these
low viscosity units operate primarily in bypass mode
where little if any of the high-viscosity oil gets filtered.

That is where Tricos High-Viscosity Gear and Lube Oil


Filtration Systems comes in. These systems are specifically
designed for high-viscosity fluids associated mainly with
gear oils and can filter oils up to 7,500 SUS @ 100F (1600

SPECTRUM VISUAL LUBRICATION MANAGEMENT

A SOLUTION TO MANAGING LUBRICANTS FROM


STORAGE TO POINT OF USE
The Spectrum Visual Lubrication Management System uses color coding to ensure the
correct lubricant is used in the right piece of equipment, and in the proper location.
Colored identifiers can be assigned to designated lubricants. Assigning specific colors
allows for a tagging system to be deployed throughout the lubricant chain within the
facility. From the point of storage to the point of application, the operator will know which
designated lubricant is to go to each specific lubrication point. Color coding lubricants from
the time they enter the facility to the point of use will reduce the amount of lubricant cross
contamination that occurs in everyday top-ups, re-lubrication, and re-greasing activities. A Spectrum Tags and Labels being
deployed throughout lube room
simple system like this will assist in helping personnel understand the internal supply chain
ensuring that the right lubricant gets to the right application.

SPECTRUM TAGS AND LABELS

Avoid lubricant cross contamination and misapplication with


Spectrum Tags and Labels. The Spectrum Tags and Labels
provide a simple and fast solution for indentifying lubricants
from storage to point of use. These easy to use, durable color-
coded tags and labels can be used for marking everything
from storage containers and drums, transport containers, hand
pumps, filter carts, transfer carts, dispensing equipment and
tools, machinery, lubrication points or anything else you can
think of. Use a felt tip marker, crayon, or Spectrum customized
label to mark the tag with your information. Then simply seal
the information beneath the laminate sheet to keep it clean
and legible. The Spectrum labeling system allows you to create
customized labels using various colors, text and barcoding for
your specific requirements.

CUSTOMIZED LABEL
All you need to do is supply the data file for your custom
Spectrum label, and well do the rest! Let us know if you want
the label with or without barcoding.

INTRODUCTION TO GRAVITY FEED OILERS

The purpose of gravity feed lubrication is to provide a DRIP-FEED OILERS: A drip-feed oiler consists of a simple
reliable and continuous supply of oil to bearings, gears, reservoir mounted in a convenient position for filling, while
chains, and other rotating or moving machinery components. allowing the piping to be connected to the point of lubrication.
As the name applies, these systems operate using gravity Typically the rate of feed, to each lubrication point, is
feed principle. A supply reservoir is used to feed lubricant regulated by a needle valve, which is manually adjustable. In
through piping, by means of gravity, to the point of addition, manifolds can be used with drip-feed oilers to supply
lubrication. These systems can also consist of a number of lubricant to multiple points.
manifolds or distribution centers from which oil is directly
piped to the surface to be lubricated. Each point has its own CHAIN OILERS: Chain oilers automatically apply a film of
independent piping and set of connections. Gravity feed lubricant to chains, gears, slides, irregular surfaces or out-
lubrication is an alternate means of lubricating machinery of-the-way oscillating parts. They greatly reduce link wear,
components rather than using automatic systems such as stretch, friction, rust, and corrosion. Chain oilers are similar

feed lubrication consists of drip-feed, chain, and wick feed applicator to supply lubricant to the source. Applicators
lubrication. are available in a variety of styles for both lubricating and
cleaning purposes of the chain.

WICK FEED OILERS: Wick feed oilers combine gravity feed


with capillary action to provide a constant rate of oil to the
lubricating point, regardless of fluid level in the reservoir.
The capillary action is provided by the use of various wick
sizes. The rate of feed is adjusted with the use of different
wick sizes or viscosity of oil.

Gravity feed oilers bring the benefits of automatic lubrication


without the high cost. They provide a simplistic, yet reliable
method, of keeping component parts of industrial machinery
lubricated. Trico offers a wide range of gravity feed oilers
for lubricating single or multiple points and for use in
conjunction with brush applicators.

INTRODUCTION TO GREASE LUBRICATION

GREASE BASICS

G rease is a dispersion of solid or semi solid additives, sometimes called soaps or thickeners. The purpose of grease is to
lubricate moving parts while the thickener acts as a sponge, under pressure, to release the base fluid when needed.
Typically, greases are used when oil cannot adequately stay in place due to design considerations. They may also be used
when it is desirable to seal out contaminants, prevent lubricant squeeze out, and resist high temperatures.
There are several methods of applying grease to the point of lubrication. The most common forms are manual, single point, and
automatic/centralized lubrication. Trico offers single point lubricators.

TYPES OF SINGLE POINT LUBRICATORS (SPL)


Single point lubricators are a storage device designed to slowly dispense grease to the point of lubrication, typically a
bearing, over a period of time. These devices are usually mounted in the port that a Zerk fitting occupies. They may be driven
mechanically, electrically, pneumatically or by a chemical reaction process. Typically,
the user sets the dispense rate to meet the requirements of the bearing based upon its
size, type, speed, and orientation.
Trico offers three different types of single point grease lubricators.
MechanicalSpring loaded that drives a plunger to feed grease.
Electro-ChemicalA battery operated timer activates an electrochemical cell
producing expandable gas that generates pressure against a piston.
Electro-MechanicalA battery operated timer activates a motor attached through
a small gearbox to drive a cam that activates a piston pump while ejecting a fixed
amount of grease. Grease lubricator installed on a blower fan

WHY USE SINGLE POINT LUBRICATORS


When selected and used properly, single point grease lubricators
can solve maintenance and reliability problems. The following
points outline where single point lubricators might be advisable
to use:
To prevent contamination
An alternative to manual lubrication
Provides a constant flow of lubricant in small volumes to
achieve superior lubrication at low unit cost
Easy to operate
Frequent re-lubrication applications
When there is insufficient staff to ensure proper lubrication
Cost of automatic lubrication systems cant be justified

STREAMLINER ELECTRO-MECHANICAL GREASE DISPENSERS

Streamliner M grease dispensers are designed to ensure reliable, precise


lubrication and cut lubrication costs with its advanced electro-mechanical
drive. It consists of a vertical feed pump, motor and gear set, and
microprocessor control system, allowing operating pressures up to 280
psi. The Streamliner M grease dispensers have a variable dispensing rate
from half to 12 months. They are ideal for use in remote and multi-point
applications. When used with Tricos distribution block a single unit can
lubricate up to eight lubrication points (Standard Streamliner M unit only).
The grease is supplied in 125cc or 250cc grease pouches. Grease pouches
and battery pack are replaceable as Service Pack. The service pack
consists of one of six standard greases.
Streamliner M-UL is similar to the standard Streamliner M unit, however it
is rated to be used in hazardous locations.

STREAMLINERDC ELECTRO-CHEMICAL GREASE DISPENSERS

The Streamliner DC automatic single point lubricator offers


maintenance professionals the ability to keep equipment
properly lubricated. The key to the high degree of reliability
with the Streamliner DC is the innovative, fully-adjustable gas
generating power source. The power source generates gas
that creates a consistent pressure on a piston which gradually
and continuously dispenses the lubricant contained in the
chamber.
Delivery time is easily set with a simple twist of an allen key
on top of the unit. The dispensing time of the Streamliner
DC is variable between one and twelve months allowing
complete control over the amount of lubricant being applied.

GREASE METER

It is difficult to grease a bearing with the right amount of grease with a


grease gun. Most bearings are often given either too much or too little
grease causing a shortening of bearing life and often results in costly
breakdowns and stoppages. Tricos Grease Meter measures the amount
of grease dispensed from the grease gun to the equipment bearing.
A simple push of a button will set the meter to zero and the metering
can be started. The amount of grease dispensed is displayed on a digital
screen and can be expressed in cubic centimeters, grams, ounces, or
fluid ounces. With Tricos Grease Meter it is possible to grease exactly
to bearing manufacturers recommendations. This will increase the life
of the bearing and reduce the number of stoppages.

FEATURES
Digital screen displays grease dispensed in cubic centimeters, grams,
ounces, or fluid ounces
Backlit LCD displays large easy-to-read digits, including low battery

POSITIVE DISPLACEMENT INJECTORS

Positive Displacement Injectors (PDIs) are an excellent means of providing


oil lubrication to machinery. Using a piston principle, the PDI will lubricate
individual points with specific amounts of oil. There are 6 output sizes to
choose from: 0.06, 0.10, 0.16, 0.20, 0.30, and 0.50 ccs per cycle. A typical
system will include a pump, any number of PDIs, and the necessary tubing
and fittings.
At the start of the lubrication cycle, the PE-34 or PE-44 Series pump builds
pressure. Upon pressure build-up, the PDIs deliver the pre-set amount of
oil. At the end of the lubrication cycle, a pressure unloading valve opens to
return line pressure to 0 PSI. This allows the PDIs to reset for the next cycle.

HOW TO ORDER
1. For each lubrication point, select the appropriate Positive
Displacement Injector (PDI) based on the oil output per cycle.
2. Select the manifolds required for mounting that
simplify installation.

3. Select either a PE-34 Series Automatic Cyclic pump with M8 x 1.0 Thread

PM-10 &20 SERIES MANUAL CYCLIC PUMPS

PM series pumps are used in applications where a fixed


output of lubricant is desired. With the PM-10 series,
the leverage of the pump handle enables the unit to
deliver a higher pressure than most models, providing
the ability to lubricate points having some back pressure.
With the PM-20 series, lubricant output takes place upon
release of the handle using spring discharge to assure
the correct amount of lubricant is applied. These pumps
are commonly used with meter units in single or multiple
point applications. Common applications include punch
presses and milling machines where infrequent but
reliable lubrication is required.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION

OIL SELECTION FOR


CENTRAL LUBRICATION
Many manufacturers of equipment that use TEMPERATURE VISCOSITY RELATIONSHIP
central lubrication systems will recommend
the specific lubricating oil to be used. If a
particular oil is not recommended, then
several factors must be considered. Load and
7,000
friction elements of surfaces to be lubricated
are a primary consideration. The ambient
temperature during machine operation,
and also the speed of the equipment are 6,000
significant factors. The viscosity of the oil is
a measure of how the oil flows at a given
temperature. Both the temperature and
the operating pressure will determine the 5,000
resistance to flow of the oil. As the pressure
Viscosity -SUS

or temperature increases, the oil delivery rate


is increased. 4,000
SAE 70
Always use clean oil in central lubrication
systems. Contamination in the oil will
significantly shorten the life of the surfaces 3,000
being lubricated. Synthetic lubricants tend SAE 60
to be more stable than mineral based ones.
However, some synthetic lubricants can attack
standard seal material, and seal compatibility 2,000
SAE 50
must be checked before using any oil type.
To insure the correct choice of lubricating oil, SAE 40
consult the machinery manufacturer or OEM. 1,000 SAE 30

is always recommended and users should
check with machine manufacturers for the
recommended lubricant for their equipment.

USING THE SYSTEM DESIGN WORKSHEET

INSTRUCTIONS - Follow the instructions as listed below using the worksheet. The worksheet is designed for cyclic
systems. For assistance with continuous systems, contact Trico.

STEP 1 - List the lubrication points in the system.


In column A, list each lubricant point by description.

STEP 2 - Determine the lubrication required at each point.


In column B, write the lubrication delivery required at each point in cc/hr. Enter the total delivery required in the total box. Refer to
the specification from the machinery manufacturer whenever possible. The Lubricating Calculations table below can be used as a
guide in determining lubrication requirements.

STEP 3 - Determine the flow ratios for each lubrication point.


Find the lubrication point requiring the least amount of oil. Divide each of the Lube Delivery Reqd values by that amount. Enter
these values in column C. This will determine the ratio of lubrication required between all of the lubrication points.

LUBRICATING CALCULATIONS
If the amount of lubrication needed is not specified by the equipment manufacturer, this table can be used as a guide.

STEP 4 - DETERMINE WHICH OF THE THREE SIZING CHARTS TO USE.


Find the highest ratio listed in Column C. If the highest value is 48 or less, then use sizing chart 1 in step 5. If it is between 49 and 96,
then use chart 2 in step 5. If it is between 97 and 192, then use chart 3 in step 5.

STEP 5 - MULTIPLIER, FLOW RATE, AND Q VALUE AMOUNTS.


Referring to Sizing Chart 1, 2, or 3, fill in the appropriate multiplier, flow rate, and Q value for each lubrication point. Enter the totals
for the multipliers and Q values in the total boxes.

STEP 6 - CALCULATE ACTUAL DELIVERY FOR EACH LUBRICATION POINT.


To confirm the actual delivery that each lubrication point will receive, the following calculation is done. For each lubrication
point, divide the total oil required in the system by the total of all the multipliers. Multiply that number by the multiplier for that
lubrication point. Record the amount in column G.

STEP 7 - CHECK FOR FLOWABILITY.


Divide the viscosity of the oil (SUS at operating temperature), by the total of all the Q values for the system. If the result of that
calculation is 61 or less then the system has flowability. If the result is higher than 61, larger meter units are required. Increase each
meter unit flow rate value by one size. Add the new Q values that correspond, and repeat the calculation. Continue to do this until
the flowability calculation is 61 or less.

STEP 8 - SELECT THE APPROPRIATE PUMP.


Using the pump selection chart, select a pump best suited for the application.

STEP 9 - CHOOSE THE APPROPRIATE METER UNITS.


Column E has the designated flow rate for each of the meter units. Select the meter unit with thread configuration best suited for
each application point.

DISTRIBUTION NETWORK DESIGN

Selecting the distribution network components begins with a sketch or layout of the system. Hardware will be different when
the lubrication points are some distance apart or are close together. Many systems will be combinations of distant and close
lubrication points. The general sequence is A) Select the pump location B) determine how your meter units or control units will
mount at each point and C) develop interconnecting plumbing.

A. Pump Location
Several key considerations are:
1. Install the pump to be visible to the machine operator or maintenance person. This will simplify checking lubricant levels.
2. Make sure that there is easy access for refilling the reservoir.
3. Access to electricity for automatic pumps should be convenient and safe.
4. Generally, the pump is mounted lower than the majority of the points being lubricated to avoid trapped air.

B. Meter Unit or Control Unit Installation


There are three mounting options to choose from in both meter units and control units.
1. Direct Mounting
In these applications, the meter or control unit is connected directly to the lubrication point and a single line is connected
to it (fig. 1). One end of the meter or control unit is NPT or BSPT and the other end is a 5/16-24 or metric straight thread.

3. Remote Mounting
In these applications, the meter or control unit is not connected to the lubrication point. One end of the meter or
control unit is connected to a junction, and the other end is connected to tubing that goes to the lubrication point
(fig. 3). Both ends of the meter or control unit are 5/16-24 or metric straight threads.

C. Interconnecting Plumbing
There are several considerations to make when connecting a central lubrication system.
1. Tubing Type - Metal or plastic tubing are the 2 choices available. When using metal tubing, copper tubing is the easiest
to install. Steel is stronger, but more difficult to install.
2. H oses - When connecting lubrication points that move, the use of a hose is recommended. Allow adequate hose length
to prevent kinking, stretching, or twisting.
3. T ubing Fittings - Refer to figures 1, 2, and 3 for examples of how the tubing fittings connect. When connecting tubing
to a female thread, use the FM-1000 series bushings in place of the FM-3000 series nuts (fig. 4).

5/16-24 Female Threads

4. Pressure gauges - Pressure gauges should be installed in central lubrication systems to verify that adequate oil pressure
is getting to each lubricant point. Depending on the size of the system, one or more gauges may be installed at
different points. A gauge installed at the furthest point from the pump is useful in determining if the entire system is
receiving adequate oil pressure.
5. Check valves - Check valves are used to hold pressure in a line and prevent dripping and leaking. Meter units contain
internal check valves, and control units do not need check valves because of the constant flow. Separate check valves
can be installed when the meter unit is not located at the point of lubrication. Installing the check valve between the
meter unit and the lubricant point will maintain an oil supply in the lubrication line.

INTRODUCTION TO MINIMUM QUANTITY LUBRICATION

F or over a decade, the concept of minimum quantity lubrication, sometimes referred to as near dry machining, has been
suggested as a means of addressing environmental concerns and occupational hazards associated with airborne mist. In most
instances, when cutting fluids are used, an airborne mist is released into the air that eventually falls to shop floors, causing
concern for employee health and safety. By minimizing the use of cutting fluids economical benefits can be achieved; such as
reduced costs of lubricant and disposal, as well as machine and workpiece cleaning time.

WHAT IS MINIMUM QUANTITY LUBRICATION?


The basic principal of minimum quantity lubrication is the utilization of precision dispensers to apply the smallest amount of
lubricant (typical applications use 1 oz. of lubricant in an 8-hour shift) needed to effectively perform the metal cutting operation.
These dispensers help eliminate friction at the tool chip interface by minimizing the heat that can be generated. Special lubricants,
such as Tri-Cool MD-1 and MD-7, are used with these dispensers which are virtually consumed during the machining operation,
resulting in residue-free machine surfaces and work pieces, and the elimination of airborne mist.

BENEFITS OF MINIMUM QUANTITY


LUBRICATION
When using minimum quantity lubrication dispensers,
the following benefits will be achieved:
Increased tool life
Increased material removal
Improved tolerances
Improved surface finish
No sump maintenance
Less machine downtime
No coolant disposal costs
Higher resale value of chips
Elimination of airborne mist
Minimum quantity lubrication used on a horizontal saw

Minimum quantity lubrication used during a milling operation Minimum quantity lubrication used on a tapping workcenter

MD-1200 MICRO-DROP

The MD-1200 Micro-Drop dispenser provides a cost effective


solution when flood cooling is impractical or unavailable.
When used in milling, tapping, and sawing applications, the
MD-1200 dispenses small amounts of Tri-Cool Micro-Drop
synthetic or vegetable based lubricant. Compared to flood
cooling, there is no coolant sump to maintain or used coolant
to dispose of. The MD-1200 offers higher material removal
rates, improved part finish, longer tool life, and tighter
dimensional tolerances.
Solenoid versions allow these units to be interfaced with CNC
controls or other signaling devices. The pressurized delivery
system of the MD-1200, provides instant on/off performance
when used with the solenoid control.

Water-soluble coolants are cutting fluids engineered to carry
heat away from the tool chip interface. Water is the best
coolant agent, but has no lubricating ability and is susceptible
to contamination. Water-soluble coolants include base oil

DIRECT READING FERROGRAPH

Tricos redesigned DR-7 Ferrograph is even more compact,


portableand easy-to-operate. It quantitatively measures the
concentration of wear particles in oil, while also providing
basic wear trend data to help determine equipment
condition within minutes.
The DR-7 Ferrograph utilizes a better, more efficient
magnetic gradient to trap and optically measure the
amount of ferrous wear particles on a scheduled basis.
The instrument also establishes the baseline wear level for
any piece of equipment. Any sudden increase in the wear
trend level alerts the user to potential problems prompting
preventive actions.
The newly redesigned DR-7 features an interactive 7" LCD
touch screen, USB and Ethernet ports so you can easily plug
in a keyboard, mouse, access useful reports on the web and
connect it to other Ferrography instruments like the new
FM-6 Ferrogram maker and the FS-6 Ferroscope.

FERROGRAM MAKER

The newly redesigned Ferrogram Maker FM-6 dual slide maker


is used in the first step in Analytical Ferrography. For greater
productivity, the Ferrogram Maker FM-6 is designed with two
independent stations permitting two samples to be prepared
concurrently.
Each station includes a holder which accurately positions a
substrate at a slight incline over a newly designed magnet,
allowing particles to deposit from largest to smallest on a
Ferrogram. This deposition pattern provides good resolution
of large and small particles which facilitates a diagnosis of
potential wear problems.
Ferrogram preparation can be done automatically, semi-
automatically, or manually at the operators option. In the
automatic mode, the sample is deposited on the Ferrogram at
a carefully controlled rate. At the end of the sample deposition
cycle, the wash cycle is automatically initiated, and an audio
and visual signal indicates completion of the Ferrogram. The
semi-automatic and manual modes provide flexibility and
further operator control to perform unusual samples such as
greases and aqueous solutions.
The newly redesigned FM-C features an interactive 7" LCD
touch screen, USB and Ethernet ports so you can easily plug
in a keyboard, mouse, access useful reports on the web and
connect it to our other Ferrography instruments like the new
DR-G Direct Reading Ferrograph and the FS-6 Ferroscope.

FERROSCOPE FS-6

The Ferroscope FS-6 analytical ferrography optical microscope is specially assembled


by Trico with attachments and options that enhance particle identification and
interpretation. The Ferroscope FS-6 comes with three magnification powers -100x,
500x, 1,000x. A technician can scan a Ferrogram quickly at low power looking for
obvious abnormal particles, interpret particle origin and wear mechanism at 500x,
and gain more insight into stress directions at 1,000x.
The Ferroscope FS-6 is equipped with reflective and transmitted
light sources so that a Ferrogram can be illuminated from above
and below. A red light source illuminated above the Ferrogram
causes the light to be reflected off particles and a green light
source below the Ferrogram causes light to be transmitted. Any
metallic particles will reflect light and non-metallic particles will
transmit light.

FEATURES
Field of view is 50% greater than previous ferroscopes,
optics are infinity corrected eliminating focus problems
Light source powers are increased in intensity over
past models allowing better definition and much better
