Oil mist lubrication is to use the Jet stream generated by compressed air to atomize the liquid lubricating oil into tiny oil particles through the oil mist distributor to form a mixture of air and oil particles, namely oil mist, which is transported to the lubricated part through the pipeline, and then condenses the tiny oil particles into larger oil particles through the condensation nozzle, and then enters the friction pair to disperse in various parts to form an oil film for lubrication.

Characteristics and Applications of Oil Mist Lubrication Principle

1. Lubrication principle:

Oil mist lubrication is to use the Jet stream generated by compressed air to atomize the liquid lubricating oil into tiny oil particles through the oil mist distributor to form a mixture of air and oil particles, namely oil mist, which is transported to the lubricated part through the pipeline, and then condenses the tiny oil particles into larger oil particles through the condensation nozzle, and then enters the friction pair to disperse in various parts to form an oil film for lubrication. At the same time, the oil mist forms a positive pressure inside the bearing seat, which plays a role in preventing external dirt from entering.

2. Product features:

1) Oil mist can diffuse to various parts of the friction pair, providing a good and uniform lubrication effect.

2) Compressed air has low specific heat and high flow rate, making it easy to remove friction heat and reduce the working temperature of the friction pair.

3) It can be used for high speed bearings to increase the limit speed and extend the bearing life.

4) Low fuel consumption, friction pairs always maintain fresh and appropriate amount of lubricating oil.

5) Small size, low power consumption, high degree of automation control, can realize low liquid level, Low-pressure area, low oil pressure alarm, and enhance the reliability of equipment.

6) Oil mist has pressure and can play a sealing role in the bearing cavity.

3. Scope of application:

Oil mist lubrication is suitable for enclosed gears, chains, sliding plates, guide rails, and various high-speed and heavy-duty rolling bearings. At present, oil mist lubrication has been widely used in rolling equipment and metallurgical machinery, such as aluminum foil mill, strip mill, Rotary kiln, ball mill, petroleum machinery, paper making machinery, fiber machinery, chain conveyor, vibrator, blower, concentrator, crusher, high-speed spinning, etc.
