Oil Flow Meters
General
The Mist Lubricator has been designed for close control of air borne lubricant to bearings. Having a wide range of adjustment at the lubricator and a selection of distributor fittings to apportion the droplets to the bearings, it becomes feasible to supply continuous lubrication to bearing surfaces without over lubrication.
The Mist Lubricator is a complete and fully automatic unit. The design contains all of the necessary components for air filtration, pressure control and oil atomization. Incorporated within the unit are a pressure gauge, solenoid operated air valve, electric wire conduit box and pressurized reservoirs with integral filter elements. A visible oil feed indicator provides a constant check that the lubricator is functioning. The rate of drops passing the sight window may be used as a guide to mist output; a faster rate of drops indicates more mist, a slower rate less mist. Choose either of the tubes permitting suitable observation.
Oil is atomized into very fine particles at the lubricator, carried in the air stream and distributed through (rigid or flexible) tubing to the bearings. The air flow through the bearings acts as a bearing coolant while depositing the oil particles, and at the same time prevents dust or abrasives from entering the bearing. The sizes of the airborn oil particles are so fine that they can be transported through 50 feet of 3/8” O.D. rigid tubing or 1/2” O.D. flexible without settling out.
The Mist Lubricator system consists of tubing and distribution fittings, using flexible tubing
where necessary.
