5.5 Bearing lubrication
Precautions
WARNING:
Risk of explosive hazard and premature failure from sparks and heat generation. Ensure
bearings are properly lubricated prior to startup.
Pumps are shipped without oil
You must lubricate oil-lubricated bearings at the job site.
Ring oil lubrication
Ring oil-lubricated bearings are standard. Bearing housings are supplied with constant-level oilers and
sight glasses. Make sure that oil ringis properly seated in the grooves in the shaft.
Pure or purge oil-mist lubrication
Pure or purge oil mist are optional features. Follow the oil-mist generator manufacturer's instructions.
The inlet and outlet connections are located on the top and bottom of the bearing housing, respectively.
Pressurized Lubrication
Pressurized lubrication is a feature provided on Sleeve/Tilt bearing arrangement only. A separate lubrica-
tion oil skid is required to provide the pressurized lubrication to the inlet connections on the bearing
housings. The lubrication oil skid shall be turned on and providing positive oil flow to the bearing hous-
ings prior to pump operation.
