Micro-Fog® Machine Bearing Lubricator
8 to 32 Bearing Inch Ratings 1/4" Port Size

● Provides centralized air-borne lubrication for

machine bearings, gears, chains, slides, ways, etc

● Controls can be installed to start-up and shut-down

the lubricator with the machine
● Delivers a fog of oil to the application points, coating
bearing surfaces with a thin oil film and reducing oil
consumption

● Air carrying the lubricants passes through the

bearing housing, reducing bearing temperature and
contamination, providing longer bearing life

● The 2 and 5 U.S. gallon (8 and 20 liter) reservoirs are

rated to ASME Pressure Vessel Code, Section VIII

● Refer to Norgren Publication NT-1 for system design,

bearing-inch ratings, and reclassifier selection
