The micro-lubrication device replaces the coolant lubrication system, which can simplify or even eliminate the lubricating liquid recovery device, and can also reduce the loss of grease and the part of the oil mist scattered in the surrounding environment. When the oil mist lubrication system is working, the liquid oil is directly sprayed into the airflow from the oil pump, and then pushed along the airflow of the feed pipe to form rotating droplets, and finally enter the bearing in the form.
Oil mist is an aerosol mixture of very small 1 to 5 micron oil droplets suspended in the air and smoke.
This mist is produced by sucking the oil in the central tank after compressed air passes through the venturi or vortex.
With the advancement of technology and further improvements in various oil distribution schemes, oil mist lubrication systems have become more and more popular in various lubrication applications.
For example, there are bearings for motors, pumps, and compressors in many oil refineries and petrochemical plants; gears, cams, chains, and machine sliding in steel and paper mills; and construction equipment and other industrial equipment have more and more applications. Of course, the air spray lubrication system equipment can also be used to lubricate various components, such as motors and machine tool spindles.
Compared with other lubrication systems, the lubrication system has unparalleled attractiveness in some respects. It can be used for low- to medium-speed lubrication, as well as high-speed and high-temperature circulation systems.
In general, the oil mist lubrication system has these advantages, and the positive pressure prevents pollutants from entering the bearing housing. Bearing life will be extended from 150% to 180%. Widely used in polluted/dirty environments, compared with traditional methods, lubrication consumption is very small. No need to change oil. As there are fewer moving parts, maintenance costs are lower.
