The TME400 is equipped with permanently lubricated bearings up to a nominal diam-
eter of DN150 as standard. Nominal diameter of DN200 or higher are provided with
an integrated lubricating device. Optionally, the TME400 can also be equipped with
the "small oil pump" lubricating devices for DN25 to DN150 versions.
The type of lubricating device and the lubricant requirement depend on the nominal
diameter and the pressure level:
As necessary (see below) optional
small oil pump
(push-button operated)
Small oil pump
(push-button operated)
PN25 to PN100
ANSI300 toANSI600
Large oil pump
(lever operated)
Also observe the notice plate on the housing.
In unfavorable conditions, e.g. with an accumulation of water and hydrocarbon con-
densate, as well as dust-laden gases, more frequent lubrication is recommended,
even daily in extreme cases (e.g. with continuous condensate formation).
Recommended lubricating oil:
Shell Tellus S2 MA 10 or another oil with 2 to 4°E at 25°C.
