MECHANICAL LUBRICATION OF ROLLING MILL SPINDLES

Abstract

A system of mechanical lubrication for rolling mill spindle couplings has been sent us by de Jonge Marcel of Belgium, who states that this method has been adopted on mills of Esperance‐Longdoz Company at Liege, John Cockerill at Athus, and Ongrée‐Marihaye Company at Liege. Many iron‐smelting companies on the Continent now fitting this system which, in addition to providing efficient mechanically applied lubrication to this difficult position, also saves maintenance departments twenty minutes a shift formerly spent on manual application. Other advantages of course include continual and regulated supply of grease under pressure at all times.
