Oil Lubrication
EP oils may be a more effective lubricant than grease when the
required coupling speed is one half of the minimum speed
range of NLGI #1 grease listed in Table 4 (Minimum rpm ÷
2). Oil lubricated couplings must be sealed to prevent
leakage, i.e. keyways, etc. Couplings must be drained and
refilled with new oil every six months for operating
temperatures up to 160°F (71°C) and every three months for
couplings operating at temperatures of 160°F (71°C) up to
200°F (93°C). For temperatures beyond this range, consult the
Factory. The minimum operating temperature must not be
lower then the pour point of the oil. The specified amount of
grease listed in Table 4, Page 6, is in pounds and also applies
to the volume of oil in pints.
