Pure Mist
For oil mist lubrication of anti-friction/rolling element bearings under normal operating conditions, two factors are to be considered:
the shaft diameter at the bearing and the number of rows of bearings. The table below should be followed to select the correct
size reclassifier.

Use Purge Application or Consult

Purge Mist
With purge mist, the lubrication of the machine elements is maintained by the splash or recirculation of the oil from the oil
reservoir. The purge mist itself does not provide the lubrication rather it fills and flows through the volume space above the oil
level. Therefore, achieving adequate flow through that volume is important and should be considered when selecting reclassifiers
for purge mist applications. The sizing requirement is established by knowing the approximate volume space above the oil level.
The following table provides guidelines for selecting the correct reclassifier for purge mist applications.

IMPORTANT
The last three digits of the part number are stamped on the mist reclassifier. Inspect the mist
reclassifier to insure that the correct part is being installed.
IMPORTANT
1. Mist reclassifiers are to be mounted on the equipment receiving the oil mist and not
on the LubriMate
®
except when additional flow is required as described below.
2. If the equipment to be operated or tested will rotate at speed greater than 3600
RPM or will be tested or operated under conditions that place extreme thrust
loading on the bearings, consult your manufacturer representative.
