B1 INTRODUCTION TO CONSTANT LEVEL LUBRICATION onstant level oilers are designed to maintain a predetermined oil level in a sump, which is necessary for proper lubrication. If the oil level were to drop below this point, the depleted oil would automatically be replenished by the lubricator, returning it to its original level. With the use of constant level oilers, maintenance efficiencies can be increased, while minimizing maintenance costs, and the loss of production time. The majority of constant level oilers available are adjustable, allowing for use in many applications. However, there are...

B2 OPTO-MATIC® CONSTANT LEVEL OILERS Opto-Matic Oilers provide an inexpensive method to automatically maintain a constant level of oil in a pump bearing housing, gear box, or other oil sump applications. Throughout processing industries, the Opto-Matic Oiler is the industry standard. Different reservoir capacities allow use in many applications. Stainless steel models provide long life in corrosive environments in the chemical, pulp and paper, and mining industries. FEATURES • One piece glass reservoir ensures proper constant level function. Compared to competitive models, there is no possibility...

B3 OPTO-MATIC® CONSTANT LEVEL OILERS Opto-Matic Oilers provide a constant level of oil in a pump bearing housing, gear box, or other oil sump applications. Different reservoir capacities allow use in many applications. “LS”, “EH”, and “EHB” models have a large surge chamber to minimize potential of leakage during oil surge conditions. FEATURES • igh strength, transparent, ribbed plastic reservoir H provides long life and impact resistance • Adjustable level setting allows use in many applications • ultiple air vent slots provide for proper functioning M at all times • arge surge chamber (LS,...

Breather tubes are accessories used in conjunction with vented Opto-Matic® Oilers to help eliminate vacuums created by abnormally tight bearings or pressures created by high speed bearings. The breather tube helps maintain a constant atmospheric pressure in the bearing housing. SELECTION CHART Model No. 1/8 NPT Thread Wick Filter Breather tubes are available for customer installed vent ports in bearing housing or piping lines. HELPFUL TIP: Breather tubes are ideal for use in environments that contain minimal contaminants. If contamination is a concern, the Watchdog Desiccant Breathers are an...

B5 OPTO-MATIC® CLOSED SYSTEM OILERS The Opto-Matic Closed System Oiler is designed for all types of equipment where a constant level in an oil sump must be maintained. The closed system design prevents contamination and spillage. The adjustable collar allows the oil level to be externally adjusted to the desired level. A 1/8 NPT port is provided for a vent line back to the housing to allow pressure balancing between the oiler and the housing. FEATURES • ne piece glass reservoir ensures proper constant level O function. Compared to competitive models, there is no possibility of air leakage that...

The Watchdog Closed System Oiler is designed for bearing housings, gear boxes, and other oil sump applications. It is ideal for use in the chemical processing, power generation, pulp and paper, and utility industries. The viewport provides visual indication of lubricant level and condition. Mounted on the centerline of the desired oil level, these constant level oilers do not require any adjustment or level setting. FEATURES • losed system design prevents C contamination and spillage • o vent line to pump bearing housing N required, simplifying installation • oz. reservoirs provide oil make-up...

C1 INTRODUCTION TO PRESSURE DIFFERENTIAL PRODUCTS requent operation start-ups and environmental temperature swings in mechanical equipment can cause the air pressure inside oil sumps to increase and decrease, causing it to “breathe." This “breathing” air, in most cases, comes from the external atmosphere through vents, fill ports, seals, and anywhere the oil sump is open to atmosphere. This can cause debris, dirt, and moisture to enter the equipment attacking and breaking down the equipments vital lubricant and ultimately reducing the life of bearings and gears. Using the following volume and...
