Abstract

The Morgoil bearing lubrication system is a critical part of any rolling mill equipped with oil film bearings. The lubrication system is usually located in an area where it is not highly visible so is not always the first equipment to receive maintenance. Improperly designed or improperly maintained lubrication systems may leak oil, allow roll coolant to ingress, and can cause bearings to fail, adversely affecting mill uptime. A properly maintained system is required to maintain bearing reliability, reduce environmental impact, and reduce lubricant and manpower costs. All these points lead to a more profitable mill.
