Azbil MC9 Series User Manual

1. Descriptions
MC9 series and other Micron-Lub lubrication units can be used to lubricate bearings of all types,
gears, linear slides, ball screws, chains, slides, ways, and other machine elements requiring a thin
oil film for lubrication.
A solenoid operated oil shot pump, which is controlled by electrical interval timer for the MC9
lubrication unit supplies constant precise oil quantity to venturi nozzle, which generates a fine dry
fog of oil particles.
Dry fog generated by the MC9 Micron-Lub lubrication unit is transferred by low pressure air, and is
changed to wet oil by Fog-Nozzles that are installed at the points of machine element to be
lubricated.
Features of Micron-Lub Lubrication
・The best lubrication system for vertical type machine that dislikes oil leaks and unexpected oil
dripping.
・Life of machine elements will be much prolonged with purified lubricant.
・Preventing entering of coolant dust etc. with pressure air, and cooling effects of air.
・Minimized temperature rising rate minimizes heat distortion affecting the machine accuracy.
・Simultaneous operation with machine operation makes the efficiency of operation times up and
the energies save.
・Centralized lubrication system & easy maintenance. Oil replenishment without stopping the
operation of the machine is possible.

CAUTION
Lubricant: Lubricant should have oil atomization characteristics compatible with mist
lubrication, and recommendation or designation by machine
manufacturer/bearing maker is also required.
Viscosity: Lubricants graded ISO VG32～68 are recommended. If other viscosity is
required, confirm compatibility of lubricant with Micron-Lub mist lubrication.
Note:
*1 For general lubrication purpose, class 2:6:3 of compressed air quality classification by
JIS B 8392-1 (ISO 8573-1) is recommended.
For precise bearing lubrication purpose, class 1:6:3 of compressed air quality classification by JIS
B 8392-1 (ISO 8573-1) is recommended.
*2 In case of application under 10℃ of ambient temperature, adjust manifold pressure higher than
0.05MPa.
*3 Keep the lubricant viscosity in the range of 10～150cSt, during the operation of the lubrication unit.
*4 Air consumption may change by manifold pressure and by the number of Fog-Nozzle.
** Use this lubrication unit within specifications.
