Lubrication systems (engl. Lubrication system ) are used for lubrication of bearings , chains and linear guides used. The use of automatic lubrication systems increases efficiency and work safety.

General

A general distinction is made between manual and automatic lubrication . In contrast to manual lubrication, the automatic lubrication systems enable a permanent supply of the correct lubricant and the precise quantity. This protects machines and systems from corrosion and wear.

functionality

The automatic lubrication systems have an acid (e.g. citric acid) in a container that is surrounded by a membrane. A screw is screwed in to activate the system. A tablet made of a sintered ZnMo alloy falls into the acid and is decomposed by it. The membrane then expands due to the gas produced and presses the lubricant out of the system. Depending on the shape of the lubrication point, the lubricant is finally applied to the lubrication point via a brush or a paint brush.

An oil retention valve is used so that lubrication takes place at regular intervals. With these, the valve is opened from a certain pressure and the lubricant is delivered through a hose via the brush or the brush onto the object to be lubricated.

Areas of application

The areas of application of (automatic) lubrication systems are diverse:

  • Automotive industry
  • Mining / open pit mining
  • Chemical industry
  • E-motors, pumps, compressors / electric motors
  • Conveyor systems
  • Power plants
  • food industry
  • mechanical engineering
  • Machine elements (e.g. roller bearings )
  • Gravel works
  • Steel industry
  • Cement works
  • Escalators
