Gallery
Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-007000
An internal passageway or channel within a machine component, designed for the circulation of fluids like lubricants or coolants. These galleries distribute the fluid to specific points that require lubrication, cooling, or hydraulic pressure. In an engine block, for instance, the main oil gallery is a primary channel cast or drilled into the block from which smaller passages branch off to supply oil to the crankshaft, camshaft, and other moving parts.
