Introduction to ConstantLevel Lubrication
Introduction to ConstantLevel Lubrication44
Constant level oilers are designed to maintain a predetermined oillevel in a sump, which is necessary for proper lubrication. If the oillevel were to drop below this point, the depleted oil wouldautomatically be replenished by the lubricator, returning it to itsoriginal level. With the use of constant level oilers, maintenanceefficiencies can be increased, while minimizing maintenance costs,and the loss of production time.
The majority of constant level oilers available are adjustable,allowing for use in many applications. However, there are oilersavailable that do not allow for fluid level adjustability, eliminatingpotential installation errors. Typically, constant level oilers aremounted on the side of the equipment facing the direction of shaftrotation. Some oilers allow for bottom mounting, on the oilsump, which prevents the oiler from misfeeding duringapplications that contain currents and turbulence formed byslinger rings, discs, and high rotating speeds.
In most cases constant level oilers are vented to the outsideatmosphere to work properly. Since these oilers are vented to theatmosphere, especially in harsh, dirty environments, contaminantsare allowed to enter the lubricating oil. These contaminants are in the forms of moisture and/or particulate which are extremelydamaging to oil and equipment life.
In order to combat the potential for oil contamination, the closed system oiler was developed. These oilers are effective inminimizing and eliminating the ingression of contaminants intothe oil sump, especially in dirty environments. Some closedsystem oilers contain a pressure balancing line, which is connectedfrom the headspace of the oil sump to an air chamber built into the surge body of the oiler. This air chamber is sealed fromthe outside atmosphere in order to prevent the ingression ofcontaminants. Additional types of closed system oilers are availablethat mount directly on the centerline of the oil level to bemaintained. The exchange of air between the oil sump and the oiler is at 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 methodof maintaining proper oil level in equipment.

Introduction to PressureDifferential Products
Introduction to PressureDifferential Products1010
Frequent operation start-ups and environmental temperature swings in mechanical equipment can cause the air pressure inside oilsumps to increase and decrease, causing it to ‘breathe’”. This “breathing” air, in most cases, comes from the external atmospherethrough vents, fill ports, seals, and anywhere the oil sump is open to atmosphere. This can cause debris, dirt, and moisture to enter theequipment attacking and breaking down the equipments vital lubricant and ultimately reducing the life of bearings and gears. TheEQUALIZER® Expansion Chamber reduces or eliminates this “breathing” action by replacing the vent, providing an extra 25 cubicinches of airspace, by a rolling diaphragm. This provides the extra air volume necessary to overcome expansion and retracting inside thehousing, eliminating the need for 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 theplug-in worksheet supplied at www.tricomfg.com/worksheet-exp_chamber.asp, or follow theTotal Air Expansion worksheet supplied on page 12. As shown here, a relatively commonoccurrence can produce up to almost 18 in3 of air expansion which escapes through the seals orvents. Conversely, that 18 in3 needs to return to the housing when temperatures cool. That iswhen the damage is done.
Closing your system is the most effective way to eliminate harmful contaminates from enteringyour system and the EQUALIZER® Expansion Chamber supplies the added air volume toeliminate the need for breathing due to temperature fluctuations. This is especially importantwhen used in harsh orcontaminated environments andwhen frequent start-up and shut-downs are necessary.

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 theexchange of air from the chamber to the surrounding atmosphere.A choice of thread sizes offers flexibility to the user.
Helpful Tip:
Prevention of oilcontamination anddegradation is veryoften the most reliablemeans of preventingequipment failures. Byminimizing the waysthat contamination canenter equipment,lubricant cleanlinesslevels are increased.Products such as theWATCHDOG oilers,Opto-Matic closedsystem oilers,Equalizer expansionchambers, andWATCHDOG breathers,can help lubricantsremain cleaner longer.

Introduction toOil Sampling/Analysis
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 much
as 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 the equipmentand the quality of the lubricant in general. Regularly scheduled oil sampling and analysis programshave become an increasingly important tool for uncovering information necessary to extend the life ofyour equipment and oil change intervals and minimize maintenance costs associated with oil changeouts, 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 sample ports and collection devices, which aredesigned to extract system and component specific samples that are both representative andrepeatable from the best 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, it requiresan intimate knowledge of the equipment, its internal design, the system design, the presentoperating 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 through its subsidiary SchematicApproach, Inc. (SAI), to inspect, analyze, and report on the operating conditions of entire manufacturing facilities’ machinery. SAI offerstechnical assistance to improve, repair and/or modify equipment and lubrication procedures to meet performance goals and offers on-siteor in-house training on best-in-practice ways of implementing lubricant screening regimens, equipment and plant assessments andlubrication 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.

Where and how oil samples are collected are two of the most important functions ofthe oil sampling process. Without a representative sample, further oil analysis effortswill be ineffective. That’s why Trico sample ports are designed to draw samples fromthe most representative areas from industrial equipment. Trico sample ports are alsodesigned to collect samples under the equipment’s typical operating condition -another important factor.
The collection process is a simple, fast and accurate way of sampling hydraulic,lubricating, and circulating systems. Access to systems is done through the use of amating sample port adapter. The sample port adapter screws onto the sample port.Oil samples can then be drawn from the system and placed into a clean samplingbottle for analysis.
To guard against contaminating the sample and for superior leak protection, Tricosampling 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 varying requirements of manufacturers. Please see below for a completelisting and specifications. To complement the sample ports, there are a number of sample port adapters available, as well.

2424Because airborne contaminants can quickly disrupt and negate your sample, Trico offers specially designed Breather Kits. These kits featurea two-stage breather system that utilizes a filter to block airborne particles and desiccant to remove harmful, unwanted moisture. Thesystem ensures a permanent closure on all hydraulic reservoirs and makes sure the lubricating fluid remains closed off from airbornecontamination throughout the sampling process.
The kit’s filter and desiccant are completely independent of one another and are replaceable. Anoptional filter reminder vacuum gauge can be used to indicate when the filter element on thebreather has become clogged and needs replacing.
A male quick connect can be plumbed to the 6-bolt adapter plate(this plate replaces the standard filler/breather cap) to fit a downpipe for filling reservoirs with new oil through a filter cart withoutopening the system to the environment.
For static sampling of oil from the system reservoir, the 6-boltadapter plate can incorporate a sample port connected to a sampletube. The tube conveniently extends to the middle of the fluid levelin the system reservoir to allow samples to be taken from the exactlocation inside the system every time.

2626Moisture in lubricating oils is the root cause of prematurely damagingoil and 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 throughincreased oxidation. By understanding the effects of watercontamination, it is easy to see the importance of moisture detectionand 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, causingthe 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 the saturationpoint of the oil, before phase separation will occur. Measuring saturated relative humidityindicates directly whether there is a risk of free water forming. The measurement isindependent of the type, age, or temperature of the oil.
REMOVING WATER CONTAMINATION:A proven method of removing water contamination from lubricating fluids is using silicagel technology. Silica gel extracts water vapor from the air as it is drawn through a silicagel 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 the rootcause of moisture contamination should be identified and corrected to maximize the life of thelubricant and equipment.

Hydrolert Transducer installed on a bank of rollers at a steel mill facility.
2727Hydrolert® ProductsHydrolert® Products
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.

Desiccant BreathersWatchdog®
Desiccant Breathers
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. The Watchdogbreathers are ideal for circulating oil systems, oil sumps, process tanks, storage tanks, vacuum systems, hydraulic systems, transformercases, 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).

ADAPTER SELECTION
Watchdog desiccant breathers are easily installed using oneof several adapters designed for different applications.
THE BYPASS ADAPTER
The Bypass Adapter is designed forapplications where there is very heavy oilmist being expelled from the equipment. When air is breathed into the equipment,it passes through the Watchdog® and iscleaned and dried. When the air isbreathed out of the equipment it enters the adapter and is expelled to the outsidewithout passing back through the breather. This protects the breather fromoil contamination.

Fluid Handling SystemsIntroduction to
Fluid Handling Systems
• Ruggedness - Fluid handling containers need to be toughenough to endure being tossed, slammed, dropped, and bumped.
• Closeable - Being able to close the fluid handling container tightis essential to keeping the lubricants clean. If the container isunable to be closed, there is no assurance that contamination willbe 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 oflubricants. They are also stored in areas where they are exposedto dirt and other contaminants. The ideal fluid handlingcontainer is designed with a pour spout that eliminates the needfor 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 contamination control.
• 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 isthe greatest. Unfortunately, the choice of a container to store, dispense and transfer the lubricant to the machinery is often questionable.Quite often these containers range from modified open topped coffee cans, jugs, buckets, and even old watering containers. Thesecontainers provide no protection to the lubricant from airborne contaminants. Below is a list of some important features to look forwhen selecting a fluid handling system.

Gravity Feed Oilers
The purpose of gravity feed lubrication is to provide a reliable andcontinuous supply of oil to bearings, gears, chains, and other rotating ormoving machinery components. As the name applies, these systemsoperate using gravity feed principle. A supply reservoir is used to feedlubricant through piping, by means of gravity, to the point of lubrication.These systems can also consist of a number of manifolds or distributioncenters from which oil is directly piped to the surface to be lubricated.Each point has its own independent piping and set of connections.Gravity feed lubrication is an alternate means of lubricating machinerycomponents rather than using automatic systems such as centralizedlubrication. The method of employing gravity feed lubrication consists ofdrip-feed, chain, and wick feed lubrication.
Drip-feed Oilers: A drip-feed oiler consists of a simple reservoir mountedin a convenient position for filling, while allowing the piping to beconnected to the point of lubrication. Typically the rate of feed, to eachlubrication point, is regulated by a needle valve, which is manuallyadjustable. In addition, manifolds can be used with drip-feed oilers tosupply lubricant to multiple points.
Chain Oilers: Chain oilers automatically apply a film of lubricant tochains, gears, slides, irregular surfaces or out-of-the-way oscillating parts.They greatly reduce link wear, stretch, friction, rust, and corrosion. Chainoilers are similar in operation to drip-feed oilers however; they contain anapplicator to supply lubricant to the source. Applicators are available in avariety of styles for both lubricating and cleaning purposes of the chain.
Wick Feeds Oilers: Wick feed oilers combine gravity feed with capillaryaction to provide a constant rate of oil to the lubricating point, regardlessof fluid level in the reservoir. The capillary action is provided by the useof various wick sizes. The rate of feed is adjusted with the use of differentwick sizes or viscosity of oil.
Gravity feed oilers bring the benefits of automatic lubrication without thehigh cost. They provide a simplistic, yet reliable method, of keepingcomponent parts of industrial machinery lubricated. Trico offers a widerange of gravity feed oilers for lubricating single or multiple points and foruse in conjunction with brush applicators.

3838 Vari-Feed Wick OilersVari-Feed Wick Oilers
APPLICATIONS:Vari-Feed wick oilers are used to provide a controlled amount ofoil to a bearing or other machinery part. The principle of deliverycombines gravity feed with capillary action in the wick to providea constant feed rate of oil regardless of the fill level in the reservoir.Feed rate is determined by the viscosity of the oil and the type ofwick 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 afiller cap with gasket that stops oil delivery when fully closed. Byturning the fill cap slightly, the threaded air vent is openedallowing oil to flow.

Grease LubricationIntroduction to
Grease Lubrication
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 system

Central Lubrication
Single Line Resistance Systems - Trico central lubricationproducts are commonly known as Single Line Resistance Systems.They are used throughout industry where reliable oil lubricationis 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 to apportionoil 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.
5151Basic Types of SystemsBasic Types of Systems
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. Refer to page 59 for more information on meter units.
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. Refer to page 59 for more information on meter units.
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. Refer to page 59 for more information on control units.
5252Positive
Displacement InjectorsPositive
Displacement Injectors
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.
2. Select the manifolds required for mounting thatsimplify installation.
3. Select either a PE-34 Series Automatic Cyclic pump with built-in cycle controls, or a PE-44 Series standard pump that usesexternal controls for the lubrication cycle. A choice of reservoircapacities is available for both pumps.

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 (pg. 59) insingle or multiple point applications. Common applicationsinclude punch presses and milling machines where infrequentbut reliable 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.

APPLICATIONS:Trico’s continuous system pumps are designed for applicationswhere lubrication of critical components is needed on acontinual basis, rather than on a timed basis. Using continuoussystem control units (pg. 59), these pumps provide lubricant at flow rates of 250 cc/min. Common applications includeinjection molding, printing presses, punch presses, and milling machines.
5959Meter & Control UnitsMeter & Control Units
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.

6464 Technical InformationTechnical Information
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 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 step5. 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 instep 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 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 on page 68, 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. On page 68, select the meter unit withthread configuration best suited for each application point.

6969Distribution Network DesignDistribution Network Design
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 meter orcontrol 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 eachlubricant point. Depending on the size of the system, one or more gauges may be installed at different points. A gauge installed at thefurthest 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 checkvalves, and control units do not need check valves because of the constant flow. Separate check valves can be installed when the meterunit is not located at the point of lubrication. Installing the check valve between the meter unit and the lubricant point will maintainan oil supply in the lubrication line.

7171Introduction to Minimum
Quantity LubricationIntroduction to Minimum
Quantity Lubrication
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 is nocoolant sump to maintain or used coolant to dispose of.The MD-1200 offers higher material removal rates, improved partfinish, longer tool life, and tighter dimensional tolerances.
Solenoid versions allow these units to be interfaced with CNCcontrols or other signaling devices. The pressurized delivery systemof the MD-1200, provides instant on/off performance when usedwith the solenoid control.
Control module versions replace the air and liquid controls at theunit with controls located at the nozzle. This allows the operator toeasily adjust the air and liquid settings in toolroom applications.
* Metric connection port available. Add “-M” to part number for 1/4 BSPTconnection port.

7474Introduction toSpray CoolingIntroduction toSpray Cooling
The need for providing coolant to metal removal operations isreadily accepted in machining industries. Spray cooling providesthe benefits of coolants used in flood applications with the addedperformance of a high velocity air/coolant mixture. It is usedwhere high speed tools and saw blades require powerful chipclearing, and offers coolant application where flood cooling isinadequate. In addition, spray cooling is also used in processes thatgenerate high amounts of heat at the tool chip interface.Delivering a low volume of coolant at a high velocity, spraycooling is able to remove heat as fast as possible, which is criticalin 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 orpull fluid from the reservoir to the nozzle tip. There are no movingparts. These siphon type units cover a range of applications fromlight to moderate with up to six nozzle capability. The use ofmultiple nozzles allows adequate coverage when tool sizes are largeor heat generation is great. Typical locations for use would bemachine shops, tool rooms, prototype areas, or small machiningwork cells. These units are economically priced and can coversecondary machining applications not equipped with coolantcapabilities. Drilling, tapping, milling, turning, sawing, etc. areexamples of applications that can be improved with the varioussiphon 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 thereservoir and the pressure type uses an air pressurized reservoir
to force fluid to the nozzles. With thecoolant being delivered with positivepressure in either case, a wide range ofcoolant stream definition can beattained. From air only to mini-floodstreams, the wide range available foradjustment, allows the user to setdelivery to the specific applicationrequirements. Applications covered bythese systems include dedicatedsecondary machines, transfer lines,conveyors, large capacity tooling,through the tool and machining cells.The multiple nozzle/valve combinationsalso allow for customizing systems
specific to 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.

Lubricants & CoolantsIntroduction to
Lubricants & Coolants
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 are criticalin maximizing productivity and quality, in addition to keeping expendable tooling costs in line. Cooling and lubrication are alsoimportant in achieving the desired size, finish and shape of the workpiece. A secondary function of a cutting fluid is to flush away chipsand metal fines from the tool/workpiece interface. Ultimately, this prevents a finished surface from becoming marred and reduces theoccurrence 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, increased speedsand feeds, tighter tolerance capability, and improved finish.
