🔍 Key Concepts

• Gravity-type lube oil system operation and limitations • Difference between pressure at the header and actual bearing lubrication • What a remote pressure sensing device actually measures

💭 Think About

• If you see correct pressure at the lube oil header, does that always guarantee every bearing is getting proper lubrication? Why or why not? • Think about what additional information (besides header pressure) would be needed to be absolutely certain about bearing lubrication. • Would a single pressure sensor in one location detect a blocked line or local bearing problem downstream?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm exactly where the pressure is being measured in the system (header vs. individual bearings). • Consider whether adequate system pressure automatically means no local restrictions or failures further along the line. • Ask: Is the device designed to show system condition only, or individual component health (each bearing)?
