Flexible Flinger Disc

B1

The Flexible Flinger Disc represents a philosophical change in some lubrication fundamentals. The discis designed to throw oil around inside the bearing housing from an oil bath residing below the traditionalbearing oil level. This is predominantly found in API standard pump configurations where slinger ringshave been commonplace. It is intended to create an "oil splash", similar to slinger rings, to ultimatelyprovide better lubrication to the bearings without the inherent disadvantages associated with othermethods, including slippage, metal wear, ring travel, and misapplication.

Introduction to Constant Level Lubrication

C1

Constant level oilers are designed to maintain a predetermined oil levelin a sump, which is necessary for proper lubrication. If the oil levelwere to drop below this point, the depleted oil would automatically bereplenished by the lubricator, returning it to its original level. With theuse of constant level oilers, maintenance efficiencies can be increased,while minimizing maintenance costs, and the loss of production time.

The majority of constant level oilers available are adjustable, allowingfor use in many applications. However, there are oilers available thatdo not allow for fluid level adjustability, eliminating potentialinstallation errors. Typically, constant level oilers are mounted on theside of the equipment facing the direction of shaft rotation. Someoilers allow for bottom mounting, on the oil sump, which prevents theoiler from misfeeding during applications that contain currents andturbulence formed by slinger rings, discs, and high rotating speeds.

In most cases constant level oilers are vented to the outside atmosphereto work properly. Since these oilers are vented to the atmosphere,especially in harsh, dirty environments, contaminants are allowed toenter the lubricating oil. These contaminants are in the forms ofmoisture and/or particulate which are extremely damaging to oil andequipment life.

In order to combat the potential for oil contamination, the closedsystem oiler was developed. These oilers are effective in minimizingand eliminating the ingression of contaminants into the oil sump,especially in dirty environments. Some closed system oilers contain apressure balancing line, which is connected from the headspace of theoil sump to an air chamber built into the surge body of the oiler. Thisair chamber is sealed from the outside atmosphere in order to preventthe ingression of contaminants. Additional types of closed system oilersare available that mount directly on the centerline of the oil level to bemaintained. The exchange of air between the oil sump and the oiler isat the the oilers base, which is mounted directly to the oil sump.

Several different types of constant level oilers are available to meetspecific 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.

Introduction to Pressure Differential Products

D1

Frequent operation start-ups and environmental temperature swings in mechanical equipment can cause the air pressureinside oil sumps to increase and decrease, causing it to ‘breathe’”. This “breathing” air, in most cases, comes from theexternal atmosphere through vents, fill ports, seals, and anywhere the oil sump is open to atmosphere. This can causedebris, dirt, and moisture to enter the equipment attacking and breaking down the equipments vital lubricant andultimately reducing the life of bearings and gears. The EQUALIZER® Expansion Chamber reduces or eliminates this“breathing” action by replacing the vent, providing an extra 25 cubic inches of airspace, by a rolling diaphragm. Thisprovides the extra air volume necessary to overcome expansion and retracting inside the housing, eliminating the needfor equipment to “breathe” contaminated and damaging external air. But, just how much of this “breathing” occurs?Below is a typical installation of a common piece of equipment and the effects of temperature fluctuations.

Using the following volume and temperature parameters, these values can be inputed into the plug-in worksheet suppliedat www.tricomfg.com/size-expand-worksheet.asp, or follow the Selection of an Expansion Chamber worksheet suppliedon the following page. As shown here, a relatively common occurrence can produce up to almost 18 in3 of air expansionwhich escapes through the seals or vents. Conversely, that 18 in3 needs to return to the housing when temperatures cool.That is when the damage is done.

Closing your system is the most effective way to eliminate harmful contaminates from entering your system and the EQUALIZER® Expansion Chamber supplies the added air volume to eliminate the need for breathing due totemperature fluctuations. This is especially important when used in harsh or contaminated environments and whenfrequent start-up and shut-downs are necessary.

Helpful Tip:

Prevention of oilcontamination anddegradation is veryoften the most reliablemeans of preventingequipment failures. By minimizing the waysthat contamination can enter equipment,lubricant cleanlinesslevels are increased.Products such as the WATCHDOG oilers,Opto-Matic closedsystem oilers,Equalizer expansionchambers, andWATCHDOG breathers,can help lubricantsremain cleaner longer.

FEATURES:• Made from corrosion resistant stainless steel.• Controlled housing pressure extends seal life.• Prevents contamination ingression to help lubricants stay

cleaner for longer life and improved performance.• Full 25 cubic inch air expansion capability• Maintenance free operation

APPLICATIONS:Equalizer Expansion Chambers are designed to prevent pressure increase inclosed systems. A rolling diaphragm provides a variable volume, that whenproperly sized, maintains oil housing pressure at or near zero PSI. Thereduced pressure will extend seal life and help prevent leakage. Expansionchambers 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.

OIL SAMPLINGContamination of machinery lubricants is a major problem for many manufacturers. In fact, it has been stated that six to seven percentof the gross national product ($240 Billion) is required just to repair the damage caused by mechanical wear, which is caused bycontamination. However, when contamination is controlled, the life span of a machine’s vital components can be extended by as muchas 50 times. It’s 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 andcontamination levels, but also in understanding the current and future requirements of theequipment and the quality of the lubricant in general. Regularly scheduled oil sampling and analysisprograms have become an increasingly important tool for uncovering information necessary toextend the life of your equipment and oil change intervals and minimize maintenance costsassociated with oil change outs, labor, repairs and downtime.

Oil sampling technology today is making the process of collecting and analyzing samples much moreeffective and accurate. Trico offers the latest sampling supplies and accessories, including sampleports and collection devices, which are designed to extract

system and component specific samples that are both representative and repeatable from thebest diagnostic locations in the most effective ways possible.

OIL ANALYSISUnderstanding the concept of oil sampling and the benefits involved is an important part of totallubrication management, however, reaping the benefits may require much more. Often, itrequires an intimate knowledge of the equipment, its internal design, the system design, thepresent operating and environmental conditions, the ability to regularly test samples in a safe andcontaminant-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 theoperating conditions of entire manufacturing facilities’ machinery. Trico offers technical assistance to improve, repair and/or modifyequipment and lubrication procedures to meet performance goals and offers on-site or in-house training on best-in-practice ways ofimplementing lubricant screening regimens, equipment and plant assessments and lubrication management programs.

These services include:

• Auditing - The service includes mapping out lubrication requirements from incoming materials, to handling, to equipment,and then disposal.

• Consulting - Working with plant maintenance personnel to increase equipment reliability, improve lubrication practices, identifysample point locations and hardware requirements for effective diagnostic capabilities, assist, implement or evaluateequipment condition monitoring programs.

• Training - On-site or off-site training sessions targeting effective lubrication management principles, practices, and effectiveimplement of preventative maintenance, predictive maintenance, and proactive maintenance programs.

• Monitoring - Oil samples are taken and analyzed as a preventative maintenance tool and/or diagnostic means to determinecause of equipment failure. Oil is tested for a variety of critical factors including water, particulate, wear material, etc.

Introduction toOil Sampling/Analysis

F1

Oil Sampling Ports

F2

Where and how oil samples are collected are two of the most importantfunctions of the oil sampling process. Without a representative sample, furtheroil analysis efforts will be ineffective. That’s why Trico sample ports aredesigned to draw samples from the most representative areas from industrialequipment. Trico sample ports are also designed to collect samples under theequipment’s typical operating condition - another important factor.

The collection process is a simple, fast and accurate way of samplinghydraulic, lubricating, and circulating systems. Access to systems is donethrough the use of a mating sample port adapter. The sample port adapterscrews onto the sample port. Oil samples can then be drawn from the systemand placed into a clean sampling bottle for analysis.

To guard against contaminating the sample and for superior leak protection,Trico sampling ports all feature a check valve and a viton o-ring seal cap.

Trico sample ports are available in several types and sizes to match the varyingrequirements of manufacturers. Please see below for a complete listing andspecifications. To complement the sample ports, there are a number of sample port adapters available, as well.

Reservoir Breather Kits

F9

Because airborne contaminants can quickly disrupt and negate your sample, Tricooffers specially designed Breather Kits. These kits feature a two-stage breather systemthat utilizes a filter to block airborne particles and desiccant to remove harmful,unwanted moisture. The system ensures a permanent closure on all hydraulicreservoirs and makes sure the lubricating fluid remains closed off from airbornecontamination throughout the sampling process.

An optional filter reminder vacuum gauge can be used to indicate when the filterelement on the breather has become clogged.

A male quick connect can be plumbed to the 6-bolt adapter plate (this plate replacesthe standard filler/breather cap) to fit a down pipe for filling reservoirs with new oilthrough a filter cart without opening the system to the environment.

For static sampling of oil from the system reservoir, the 6-bolt adapter plate canincorporate a sample port connected to a sample tube. The tube convenientlyextends to the middle of the fluid level in the system reservoir to allow samples to betaken 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 replacementis needed, when maximum adsorption is reached.

• Optional sample port is available with sampling drop tubesof 12", 18", and 24" in length.

Introduction to MoistureDetection & Removal Systems

G1

Moisture in lubricating oils is the root cause of prematurely damaging oiland accelerating wear of machine components. As water invades yourfluids it will not only attack the additives in the oils, destroying theirbeneficial properties; but it will also cause damage to the machinesurfaces through corrosion, and rapidly degrade the oil through increasedoxidation. By understanding the effects of water contamination, it is easyto see the importance of moisture detection and removal.

Once water has entered the lubricant, it can exist in one or more of thefollowing forms; dissolved, emulsified, or free water.

• Dissolved water contains water molecules that are dispersed one-by-one through the air in contact with, or within the lubricant. This formof water is invisible to the naked eye.

• Emulsified water contains microscopic pockets of water that are dispersed instable 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 andequipment, are emulsified and free water. Therefore, it is important to measure,and or remove water contamination prior to the formation of emulsifiedand free water.

DETECTING WATER CONTAMINATIONTrico has developed on-line monitoring devices that measure moisture content as apercentage of saturated relative humidity. This measurement is taken below thesaturation point of the oil, before phase separation will occur. Measuring saturatedrelative humidity indicates directly whether there is a risk of free water forming. Themeasurement is independent of the type, age, or temperature of the oil.

REMOVING WATER CONTAMINATION:A proven method of removing water contamination from lubricating fluids is usingsilica gel technology. Silica gel extracts water vapor from the air as it is drawn through asilica gel bed, as well as covering a wide range of temperatures. Most units using silica geltechnology to remove moisture provide a fail-proof method of determining whenreplacement is necessary. Trico incorporates a visual indicator to accomplish this. Thesilica gel used changes from gold to dark green when maximum adsorption has been reached.

Trico provides products that will detect and remove moisture from lubricating oils; however theroot cause of moisture contamination should be identified and corrected to maximize the life ofthe lubricant and equipment.

By the time free water becomes visible, damage is alreadyoccurring to the oil and equipment.

Three stages of water within a lubricating oil.

Hydrolert® Products

G2

The Hydrolert products are designed to monitor levels of moisture in lubricating oils. Although there are many ways of detectingmoisture in oil, most of these require that a sample be taken from the piece of equipment. Research has shown that over 85% of alloil sampling or oil changes were done either unnecessarily or after damage has already occurred.

The Hydrolert products warn of increasing moisture contamination prior to 100% Saturated Relative Humidity (SRH), allowingadequate time for corrective action to be taken before free water occurs. In addition, knowing the oil needs to be changed before it

begins losing protective properties prolongs equipment life and not havingto change the lubricant until saturation is imminent helps reducemaintenance, material, and labor costs.

The Hydrolert Transducer is a real timeautomatic moisture sensor for lubricants.

It is designed for use with all types of rotatingequipment that use oil to lubricate. When used with the

Hydrolert DHS and DHM it will provide an actual SaturatedRelative Humidity reading. The transducer is also capable of beingincorporated into any type of system capable of reading a 4-20 ma signal. This allows the user to set alarm levels and store and interpret readings for trending purposes.

Watchdog®

Desiccant Breathers

G3

APPLICATIONS:The Watchdog® desiccant breathers ensure optimum protection of industrial equipment by prohibiting the entry of moisture andparticulate contamination. Contaminants enter industrial equipment as pressure differentials or fluid level changes occur. TheWatchdog 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 damagingcontaminants that create sludge build-up inside the fluid reservoir.

FEATURES:• Bi-directional air flow - A 360º air flow allows air to be breathed in and out as fluid

level changes or differential pressures occur.

• Dual filtration system - A two micron filter is located at the top and bottom of thesilica gel bed. The top filter removes particle contamination from atmospheric air andthe 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 adsorbup to 40% of its own weight.

• Durable construction - Watchdog desiccant breathers are manufactured from ruggedABS plastic and impact modified acrylic.

• Color indicator - When maximum adsorption is reached the silica gel turns from goldto dark green, indicating replacement is needed.

• Activated carbon - As air is expelled, it passes through activated carbon which removesoil vapors, fumes, and odors (except for 39131, 39132, 39133, and 39134).

EX Series Breathers

G5

In certain extreme operating environments such as a papermill or in food processing where regular steam cleaningoccurs, the humidity level far exceeds normal industrialenvironments. In these situations, lubricants and otherfluids stored in tanks and reservoirs need the protection of adesiccant breather even more. However, small temperaturevariations draw in the humid air and unnecessarily reducethe life of the breather. The Watchdog® EX Series Breathersfor extreme humidity applications incorporate two checkvalves, one to control airflow into the protected reservoirand one to control airflow out. This prolongs the life of thedesiccant by allowing theair to flow through thebreather only whenneeded to protect theintegrity of the tank.Unlike a membranesystem, which does notallow internally generatedgases and contaminantsto exit the system, theWatchdog EX Breatheroffers all of theadvantages of breathingair in and out of the tankwhile removing watervapor and solid particlesbefore they contaminatethe fluid.

ADAPTER SELECTION

Watchdog desiccant breathers are easily installed using oneof several adapters designed for different applications.

THE BYPASS ADAPTER

The Bypass Adapter is designed for applications wherethere is very heavy oil mist being expelled from theequipment.

When air is breathed into the equipment, it passesthrough the Watchdog® and is cleaned and dried. Whenthe air is breathed out of the equipment it enters theadapter and is expelled to the outside without passingback through the breather. This protects the breatherfrom oil contamination.

WATCHDOG VAPOR SENTRY

Pumps, gearboxes, and some hydraulic reservoirs generate heavy oil mist, which is thrown up and out, or simply migrates,through the vent. This oil mist forms droplets of oil on theoutside of the equipment creating an environmental issue, asafety issue, and ongoing clean-up procedures. If a desiccantbreather is being used on the equipment, its useful life can besignificantly shortened.

The Watchdog Vapor Sentry Oil Coalescing Breather solves theseproblems. The original breather or vent cap is removed and replacedwith the Watchdog Vapor Sentry. The original breather is thenreinstalled on top of the coalescing unit. The connection on top of theunit is a 1/2" MNPT which is designed to mate with the WatchdogMini Desiccant Breathers. A simple screw-on adapter allows the use ofthe Watchdog slip-fits (39100, 39101, and 39102) or Watchdog EXSeries breathers with the Watchdog VaporSentry.

In the past choices were very limited when it came to filteringlubricants with viscosities greater than 500 SUS @ 100ºF. NowTrico offers a solution with our Filtration Systems. Theproblem with attempting to filter a high viscosity oil with alower viscosity system is that the pump and filters are notdesigned to work with higher pressures required to push highviscosity fluids through the system. As a result these lowviscosity units operate primarily in “bypass” mode where littleif any of the high-viscosity oil gets filtered.

That is where Trico’s High-Viscosity Gear and Lube OilFiltration Systems comes in. These systems are specificallydesigned for high-viscosity fluids associated mainly with gear oilsand can filter oils up to 7500 SUS @ 100ºF (1600 cSt @ 40ºC).

Introduction toFluid Handling Systems

I1

• Ruggedness - Fluid handling containers need to be toughenough to endure being tossed, slammed, dropped, andbumped.

• Closeable - Being able to close the fluid handling containertight is essential to keeping the lubricants clean. If thecontainer is unable to be closed, there is no assurance thatcontamination will be controlled.

• Easy to handle - Fluid handling containers should becomfortable enough for personnel to carry through out thefacility when full of oil.

• No funnels - Funnels are a huge contamination risk because theyare hard to clean, and are usually used with a variety of lubricants.They are also stored in areas where they are exposed to dirt andother contaminants. The ideal fluid handling container isdesigned with a pour spout that eliminates the need for a funnel.

• Lubricant identity - Fluid handling containers should have anidentifier for indicating the type of fluid within the container.Identifiers can come in the form of color, shape, size, or tags.

• Non-reactive - Some lubricant additives can interact withspecific materials that some fluid handling containers aremanufactured with. Plastics or stainless steel are the mostdesirable materials available.

• Cleanable - At some point in time the fluid handling containermay need to be cleaned. The container should be designed tofacilitate easy cleaning to ensure effective contaminationcontrol.

• Pumping option - In some areas where access is limited,pouring oil from a fluid handling container is not possible. Inthis case, the container should easily adapt to a pump that willallow the lubricant to flow effectively into the equipment.

Contamination is the root cause to lubricant degradation andmachinery failure. It must be managed to assure properperformance. The selection of a fluid handling system isfundamental to the success of effectively and efficiently deliveringclean lubricants to the machinery.

Lubricants are frequently topped off or replaced in harsh conditions, where the potential for contamination from dust, dirt, and water is the greatest. Unfortunately, the choice of a container to store, dispense and transfer the lubricant to the machinery is oftenquestionable. Quite often these containers range from modified open topped coffee cans, jugs, buckets, and even old wateringcontainers. These containers provide no protection to the lubricant from airborne contaminants. Below is a list of some importantfeatures to look for when selecting a fluid handling system.

Introduction toGravity Feed Oilers

J1

The purpose of gravity feed lubrication is to provide a reliableand continuous supply of oil to bearings, gears, chains, and otherrotating or moving machinery components. As the name applies,these systems operate using gravity feed principle. A supplyreservoir is used to feed lubricant through piping, by means ofgravity, to the point of lubrication. These systems can alsoconsist of a number of manifolds or distribution centers fromwhich oil is directly piped to the surface to be lubricated. Eachpoint has its own independent piping and set of connections.Gravity feed lubrication is an alternate means of lubricatingmachinery components rather than using automatic systems suchas centralized lubrication. The method of employing gravity feedlubrication consists of drip-feed, chain, and wick feed lubrication.

Drip-feed Oilers: A drip-feed oiler consists of a simple reservoirmounted in a convenient position for filling, while allowing thepiping to be connected to the point of lubrication. Typically therate of feed, to each lubrication point, is regulated by a needlevalve, which is manually adjustable. In addition, manifolds can beused with drip-feed oilers to supply lubricant to multiple points.

Chain Oilers: Chain oilers automatically apply a film oflubricant to chains, gears, slides, irregular surfaces or out-of-the-way oscillating parts. They greatly reduce link wear, stretch,friction, rust, and corrosion. Chain oilers are similar in operationto drip-feed oilers however; they contain an applicator to supplylubricant to the source. Applicators are available in a variety ofstyles for both lubricating and cleaning purposes of the chain.

Wick Feeds Oilers: Wick feed oilers combine gravity feed withcapillary action to provide a constant rate of oil to the lubricatingpoint, regardless of fluid level in the reservoir. The capillary actionis provided by the use of various wick sizes. The rate of feed isadjusted with the use of different wick sizes or viscosity of oil.

Gravity feed oilers bring the benefits of automatic lubricationwithout the high cost. They provide a simplistic, yet reliablemethod, of keeping component parts of industrial machinerylubricated. Trico offers a wide range of gravity feed oilers forlubricating single or multiple points and for use in conjunctionwith brush applicators.

Vari-Feed Wick Oilers

J5

APPLICATIONS:Vari-Feed wick oilers are used to provide a controlled amount of oil to a bearing or other machinery part. The principle ofdelivery combines gravity feed with capillary action in the wickto provide a constant feed rate of oil regardless of the fill level inthe reservoir. Feed rate is determined by the viscosity of the oiland the type of wick being used.

Two styles of operation are available depending on the application.When continuous delivery is required the N or NS models are used.

For on-off control of the oiler, the NA and NAS models have a filler cap with gasket that stops oil delivery when fully closed. By turning the fill cap slightly, the threaded air vent is openedallowing oil to flow.

Introduction toGrease Lubrication

K1

GREASE BASICS:Grease is a dispersion of solid or semi solid additives, sometimes called soaps or thickeners. The purpose of grease is to lubricatemoving 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 isdesirable 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, andautomatic/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 aperiod 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 thebearing based upon its size, type, speed, and orientation.

Trico offers three different types of single point grease lubricators.

• Mechanical - Spring loaded that drives a plunger to feed grease.

• Electro-Chemical - A battery operated timer activates an electrochemical cell producing expandable gas that generates pressure against a piston.

• Electro-Mechanical - A 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.

WHY USE SINGLE POINT LUBRICATORSWhen 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 can’t be justified

• Difficult access or safety hazard for manual systemGrease lubricator installed on pillow block of a dynomometer.

Introduction toCentral Lubrication

L1

Single Line Resistance Systems - Trico central lubricationproducts are commonly known as Single Line ResistanceSystems. They are used throughout industry where reliable oillubrication is required. The basic principles of these systems are:

• Oil lubrication.

• Pump operation to deliver the oil to the system.

• Individual control of oil lubrication amounts at eachlubrication point.

• Meter and control units create resistance to flow toapportion oil delivery.

• Total loss or re-circulating systems.

Common applications are shown below. These are found on punchpresses, milling machines, printing presses, injection moldingmachines, textile machinery, and all types of machine tools.

Ball Bearings Plain Bearings

Flat Slides Cylindrical Slides

Ball Bearing Slides Cams

Gears Chains

Positive Displacement Injection Systems – Trico offers a line of products that complement the single line resistance systems.Instead of using meter or control units, a piston dispenses a pre-set amount of oil at each cycle of the pump. These systems do require that different pumps be used than with single lineresistance systems. All fittings and tubings are interchangeablebetween the two systems.

Basic Types of Systems

L2

CONTINUOUS PUMPSFor large lubrication requirements a continuous system should be used. These systems are commonly used on equipmentwith a high number of lubrication points.

AUTOMATIC CYCLIC PUMPSFor those who need automatic lubricationon an intermittent basis, a cyclic system is required. Cost for these systems are economical and vary based on the type of control used to regulate the lube intervaland capacity of the reservoir.

Automatic Cyclic pumps use meter units to apportion the amount of oil at each lubrication point.

FEATURES:• Spring discharge and gear pumps.

• Adjustable interval timesbetween lubrication.

• Adjustable oil volume outputs.

• Reservoir capacities up to 20 liters.

• Applications with up to 50 lubrication points.

• Used with meter units.

• Total loss systems.

FEATURES:• Gear pump design.

• Constant oil volume outputs.

• Reservoir capacities up to 20 liters.

• Applications with up to 200 lubrication points.

• Used with control units.

• Total loss systems orre-circulating systems.

MANUAL PUMPSThese single-shot systems use a manuallyactuated pump for applications whereinfrequent lubrication is required.

Manual or single-shot pumps use meterunits to apportion the amount of oil at each lubrication point.

FEATURES:• Low cost, simplified installation

and operation.

• Manual and spring discharge pumps.

• Reservoir capacities to 450 cc.

• Applications with less than 50 points.

• Used with meter units.

• Total loss systems.

Continuous pumps use control units to apportion the amount of oil at each lubrication point.

APPLICATIONS:Positive Displacement Injectors (PDI’s) are an excellent means of providing oillubrication to machinery. Using a piston principle, the PDI will lubricate individualpoints 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 cc’s per cycle. A typical system will include a pump,any number of PDI’s, 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 PDI’s deliver the pre-set amount of oil. At the end of the lubrication cycle, a pressure unloading valve opens to return linepressure to 0 PSI. This allows the PDI’s 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.

PM-20 Series

APPLICATIONS:PM series pumps are used in applications where a fixed outputof lubricant is desired. With the PM-10 series, the leverage ofthe pump handle enables the unit to deliver a higher pressurethan most models, providing the ability to lubricate points having some back pressure. With the PM-20 series, lubricantoutput 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 ormultiple point applications. Common applications includepunch presses and milling machines where infrequent butreliable lubrication is required.

FEATURES:• Aluminum die cast reservoir provides long life.

• Outputs to 6 or 8 cc/stroke.

• Sight gauge provides liquid level observation.

• Large fill port for easy adding of lubricant.

• Convenient drop-in filter in fill port keeps oil clean.

Meter & Control Units

L10

APPLICATIONS:Meter units are usedwith all cyclic systemelectric and manualpumps to provideprecise control of thelubricant to eachlubrication point. Aspring loaded checkvalve keeps air fromentering the systemwhen lubricant is notbeing supplied to themeter unit.

APPLICATIONS:Control units are usedwith all continuoussystem electric pumps toprovide precise control of the lubricantto each lubricationpoint. Because pumpflow is continuous, aninternal check valve isnot required.

METER AND CONTROL UNITS:Trico offers 8 different flow rates for meter units (3/0 - 5) and 10for control units (5/0 - 5). These units are precisely manufacturedto accurately apportion oil at each point. To the left is a chart thatdisplays recommended flow rates for different types of systems. Therelative flow delivery indicates the difference in the flow rates of themeter and control rates. The smallest flow rate is “5/0” and thehighest flow rate is “5”. Each meter and control unit will allowapproximately twice as much flow as the next smaller size, within alubrication system.

VISCOSITY OF OIL LUBRICANTS:Trico pumps are designed to dispense mineral basedlubricants with a viscosity range of 30-250centistokes or 150 - 1200 SUS. New clean oil isalways recommended and users should check withmachine manufacturers for the recommendedlubricant for their equipment.

OIL SELECTION FOR CENTRAL LUBRICATION:Many manufacturers of equipment that use centrallubrication systems will recommend the specificlubricating oil to be used. If a particular oil is notrecommended, then several factors must beconsidered. Load and friction elements of surfacesto be lubricated are a primary consideration. Theambient temperature during machine operation,and also the speed of the equipment are significantfactors. The viscosity of the oil is a measure of howthe oil flows at a given temperature. Both thetemperature and the operating pressure willdetermine the resistance to flow of the oil. As thepressure or temperature increases, the oil deliveryrate is increased.

Always use clean oil in central lubrication systems.Contamination in the oil will significantly shortenthe life of the surfaces being lubricated. Syntheticlubricants tend to be more stable than mineralbased ones. However, some synthetic lubricants canattack standard seal material, and seal compatibilitymust be checked before using any oil type.

To insure the correct choice of lubricating oil,consult the machinery manufacturer or OEM.

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 eachlubrication 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 thesystem. If the result of that calculation is 61 or less then the system has flowability. If the result is higherthan 61, larger meter units are required. Increase each meter unit flow rate value by one size. Add the newQ values that correspond, and repeat the calculation. Continue to do this until the flowability calculationis 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 threadconfiguration best suited for each application point.

Distribution Network Design

L20

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

A. Pump LocationSeveral 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 InstallationThere are three mounting options to choose from in both meter units and control units.1. Direct MountingIn 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.

2. Tee MountingIn these applications, the meter or control unit is connected directly to the lubrication point and a junction is connected on the otherend (fig. 2). Both ends of the meter or control unit are NPT or BSPT.

3. Remote MountingIn these applications, the meter or control unit is not connected to the lubrication point. One end of the meter or control unit isconnected to a junction, and the other end is connected to tubing that goes to the lubrication point (fig. 3). Both ends of the meteror 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. Hoses - When connecting lubrication points that move, the use of a hose is recommended. Allow adequate hose length to prevent

kinking, stretching, or twisting.3. Tubing 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).

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 gaugeinstalled 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 internalcheck valves, and control units do not need check valves because of the constant flow. Separate check valves can be installed whenthe meter unit is not located at the point of lubrication. Installing the check valve between the meter unit and the lubricant pointwill maintain an oil supply in the lubrication line.

Introduction to Minimum Quantity Lubrication

M1

For 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, whencutting fluids are used, an airborne mist is released into the air that eventually falls to shop floors, causing concern for employee healthand 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. Thesedispensers 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 inresidue-free machine surfaces and work pieces, and the elimination of airborne mist.

BENEFITS OF MINIMUM QUANTITYLUBRICATION: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 during a milling operation. Minimum quantity lubrication used in a tapping workcenter.

Minimum quantity lubrication used on a horizontal saw.

SELECTION CHART

APPLICATIONS:The MD-1200 Micro-Drop dispenser provides a cost effectivesolution when flood cooling is impractical or unavailable. Whenused in milling, tapping, and sawing applications, the MD-1200dispenses small amounts of Tri-Cool Micro-Drop synthetic orvegetable based lubricant. Compared to flood cooling, there isno coolant sump to maintain or used coolant to dispose of.The MD-1200 offers higher material removal rates, improvedpart finish, longer tool life, and tighter dimensional tolerances.

Solenoid versions allow these units to be interfaced with CNCcontrols or other signaling devices. The pressurized deliverysystem of the MD-1200, provides instant on/off performancewhen used with the solenoid control.

Control module versions replace the air and liquid controls atthe unit with controls located at the nozzle. This allows theoperator to easily adjust the air and liquid settings in toolroomapplications.

Introduction to Spray Cooling

N1

The need for providing coolant to metal removal operations is readilyaccepted in machining industries. Spray cooling provides the benefitsof coolants used in flood applications with the added performance ofa high velocity air/coolant mixture. It is used where high speed toolsand saw blades require powerful chip clearing, and offers coolantapplication where flood cooling is inadequate. In addition, spraycooling is also used in processes that generate high amounts of heat atthe tool chip interface. Delivering a low volume of coolant at a highvelocity, spray cooling is able to remove heat as fast as possible, whichis critical in maximizing productivity and quality. Also, it helps keepexpendable tooling costs in line. Trico offers three separate types ofdelivery systems for dispensing a wide range of coolants in manymetal removal processes: siphon, pump, and pressure delivery.

SIPHON DELIVERY SYSTEMS -Siphon type units use the flow of air across an orifice to draw or pullfluid from the reservoir to the nozzle tip. There are no moving parts.These siphon type units cover a range of applications from light tomoderate with up to six nozzle capability. The use of multiple nozzlesallows adequate coverage when tool sizes are large or heat generationis great. Typical locations for use would be machine shops, tool rooms, prototype areas, or small machining work cells. Theseunits are economically priced and can cover secondary machiningapplications not equipped with coolant capabilities. Drilling, tapping,milling, turning, sawing, etc. are examples of applications that can beimproved with the various siphon units that are offered.

PUMP AND PRESSURE DELIVERY SYSTEMS - For more sophisticated and demanding metal removal processes, or where more than six nozzles are necessary, the pump or pressure type delivery systems are recommended. These are alsorecommended for higher viscosity fluids, up to 1000 SUS. Thepump type uses a mechanical pump to force fluid from the reservoirand the pressure type uses an air pressurized reservoir to force fluidto the nozzles. With the coolant being delivered with positivepressure in either case, a wide range of coolant stream definition canbe attained. From air only to mini-flood streams, the wide range

available for adjustment,allows the user to setdelivery to the specificapplication requirements.Applications covered bythese systems includededicated secondarymachines, transfer lines,conveyors, large capacitytooling, through the tooland machining cells. Themultiple nozzle/valvecombinations also allow forcustomizing systems specificto end user applications.

METAL REMOVAL FACTS1. Metal removal methods generate friction. Two types of

friction generate heat:a. External friction, where approximately a third of the heat is

generated, metal to metal contact of the work tool to thework piece

b. Internal friction, where approximately two-thirds of the heatis generated, resistance of metal atoms to movement whenthe metal is deformed in the shear zone

2. There are many variables at the interface of the tool and thework piece that influence the effectiveness of your cut.a. Tool material, tool design, tool size, speed of tool, depth of

cut, feed rate, work piece material, type of operation, type ofequipment, and coolant/lubricant method are just some ofthese variables.

3. Equipment, operation, tooling, material, part quantity,secondary operations, and safety could dictate the methodof cooling/lubricating to use.a. Equipment - flood system ready, compressed airb. Operation - milling, drilling, tapping, sawing, etcc. Tooling - carbide, diamond, ceramics, special coatingsd. Material - brass, aluminum, steel, stainless, plasticse. Part quantity - one to ten, short runs, long runs(cycle time)f. Secondary operations - plating, anodizing,

painting, machiningg. Safety - work piece handling in fixtures or

chucking, work area4. There is no single method that works best in all

metalworking applicationsa. Cutting fluids do one or more of the following functions:

i. Cool the tool, work piece and chipii. Reducing friction by minimizing erosion of the

tool by lubricatingiii. Remove chips from the work areaiv. Protect the work piece, tooling and machine

from corrosion5. The application method needs to apply the fluid properly

to achieve any or all of the above functions economically6. Spindle speed, feed rate and depth of cut can also

determine your methoda. Spindle speed, high, intermediate, low - cool or lubricate

i. High speed requires more coolingii. Intermediate speeds require both cooling and lubricatingiii. Low speeds require more lubricating

b. Feed ratei. Quicker feed rates generate more heat and

requires more coolingii. Slow feed rates require more lubricating

c. Depth of cuti. Chip evacuation, cooling and lubricating required

Spray cooling duringmilling operation.

Introduction toLubricants & Coolants

O1

Cutting fluids play a significant role in machining operations and impact shop productivity, tool life and quality of work. The primaryfunction of a cutting fluid is temperature control through cooling and lubrication. A fluid’s cooling and lubrication properties arecritical in maximizing productivity and quality, in addition to keeping expendable tooling costs in line. Cooling and lubrication arealso important in achieving the desired size, finish and shape of the workpiece. A secondary function of a cutting fluid is to flush awaychips and metal fines from the tool/workpiece interface. Ultimately, this prevents a finished surface from becoming marred andreduces the occurrence of a built-up edge.

Typically, cutting fluids are manufactured with the following bases: mineral, vegetable or synthetic. Additives are added to the base oil to achieve specific performance parameters such as corrosion inhibitors, wetting agents, biocides, extreme pressure additives, andemulsifiers. Cutting fluids fall into two categories: water-soluble coolant or lubricant, each containing its’ own unique properties.

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 along with additives toenhance waters’ ability to disperse heat. They are generally used in high-speed cutting operations such as turning and milling.Lubricants, non-soluble, are used in metal cutting operations to reduce friction. They are used in low-speed cutting operations such as broaching and tapping.

Cutting fluids are widely utilized to optimize the process of machining operations such as turning, drilling, boring, grinding, milling,drawing, stamping, and sawing. The proper selection of a cutting fluid will provide benefits such as extended tool life, increasedspeeds and feeds, tighter tolerance capability, and improved finish.
