Trunnions
The cast iron trunnions (see Figure 90) produce a
fine graphite powder over time that acts as a lubri-
cant. We recommend not adding lubricant to the
trunnions, which could make a sticky substance
that would prevent smooth movement.
Figure 90. Cast iron trunnions produce their own
lubricant.
