4. Operation
MC9 series Micron-Lub lubrication unit generates
extremely fine and light oil fog (called “Fog”), which is
conveyed to each lubrication part at the long distances
through a low-pressure manifold piping. Multi-part
lubrication is possible with the manifold system.
By the Fog-Nozzles, properties of the fog is changed from
dry fog to wet fog in order to form thin and clean oil film on
the lubricating part, which is desirable for good lubrication.
Too much oil supply to the lubricating part may result in
fluid friction heat generation and waste of oil.
The other way, if oil supply is not sufficient, the lubricated
part may be seized up.
