We supply either 220 or 460 bearing oils. The lubrication properties are both very similar but the way they behave/flow is different. The 460 is more viscous at room temperature but when heated becomes free flowing. This makes it ideal for miniature steam applications especially ones where conventional Wick/felt pads are not employed to draw the oil into the bearings. This oil is applicable for miniature steam as its viscous nature means it will pass through the bearings slower than the 220, meaning greater time between oiling periods. The viscous nature of this oil does however mean it does not perform well with some pump oil feeders especially in cold conditions. This oil is ideally suited for where an axle box has no wicks or felts used and may become hot with its proximity to the fire box; in this scenario the oil pots.

 

460 is ideally suited to bearings where heat is a factor and no wicks are present and should be the go-to oil for some miniature steam and full size steam applications especially if wicks and pads are not used. 

 

Morris Description of 220 & 460

 

High quality lubricants formulated to provide the necessary levels of friction reduction and wear protection required in bearing applications on steam driven equipment. The products resist water wash off and have a long service life. Bearing Oil 220 & 460 are truly universal and can be used in applications that have historically required heavily compounded oils or straight oils. Morris Lubricants have developed these bespoke products using expertise acquired from a long association with steam heritage workshops.

• Rapeseed oil free  

 

• Universal protection in both mechanical and wick fed systems  

 

• Will not produce sticky gums or deposits  

 

• Remains stable in the presence of water 

 

Applications: Recommended for all total loss applications where the special properties of these oils are needed. They can be used for bearings, gears, slides, and general railway applications as well as for use in older types of railway, rolling stock, and axle boxes with plain bearings. Additionally they are recommended for their ability to flow with worsted wool fiber or cotton wick lubricators often found on traction engines and railway rolling stock. At higher ambient temperatures Bearing Oil 460 is recommended to reduce the rate of lubricant loss.
