| To get optimum reliability from a new installed bearing on a circulating oil system, squirt oil into the bearing once installation is complete to prevent potential dry start conditions. (Randy Riddell, International Paper)

| Induction Bearing Heater
EDDYTHERM allows precise setting of time and temperature to prevent premature bearing failures due to improper or overheating for installation. Automatically demagnetizes bearings after heating, and visual and audible signal announces termination of heating/demagnetizing cycle.

| Limiting oil-mist applications to pumping services not exceeding 300 or 450 degrees F begs the question: what lube application method will users choose for pumps at 600 and 740 degrees F? Reverting back to oil rings and constant-level lubricators would be a quantum step backward. |

GET THE ANSWER
From the "Wear Particle Atlas":
The presence of friction polymers in an oil sample may or may not be worrisome depending upon the circumstances. With the right oil, friction polymers are produced under the influence of a heavy load. For certain applications, the formation of friction polymers prevents scuffing that would otherwise occur. However, too many friction polymers are deleterious to machine health because the viscosity of the oil will increase due to the presence of foreign bodies. |
