it �s a fan which bears/has lubrication OR a bearing/supporting fan that is meant to lubricate OR (as part of the participial clause) something lubricates the bearing fan (I�m guessing the grease cartridge is doing that):) but without the context some really wild guesses come to mind:)
to bear- to support the weight of somebody/something to lubricate- to put a lubricant on something such as the parts of a machine, to help them move smoothly fan - a machine with blades that go round to create a current of air cartridge - a case containing something that is used in a machine grease - any thick oily substance, especially one that is used to make machines run smoothly
as to the cartridge grease, sounds like you are translating the instructions for some gun:)
context is crucial!

Thanks for your precious help ueslteacher!You �re right contexto is essential....The translation is about safety at work and hazardous materials...which can explode!
Have a nice week! |
