Im in the process of suggesting that we use Timken M-Power Single Point Lubricators to lubricate the bearings in our Air Handler Units.
To give you a little bit of background, we are a biotech facility. Our Air Handlers are installed inside the building in a cool environment serving Class 5 to Class 8 clean rooms. They range anywhere from 2k to 24k cfm (5hp to 60hp motors).
WHat experience have you guys had with this type of lubricator? Are they reliable in low vibration applications? Do you spend more time looking to make sure they are working than just having your oiler manually lubricate the bearings? Do they give you a fuzzy warm feeling that they won't let you down if properly installed and maintained?
Your feedback is greatly appreciated.
