I am looking for guidlines on position of constant level oiler and sight glass/ level indicators on bearing housings.
It is recommended by some experts that oil cup should be installed on the side of the bearing housing facing the shaft rotation at the bottom because this will eliminate the chances of overfilling of the housing. However sight glass or level indicators should be installed on the opposite side of the oiler as this will not show the higher oil level than actual, in the machine running condition.
Is there any recommended practice or standard coveing this part?
