Principle

Oil/Air lubrication is a kind of minimal quantity lubrication. A stream of air in a narrow tube pulls a droplet of oil apart, thereby forming a streak that is fed in the directions of the lube point. The bearing in Continuously supplied with fine droplets of oil via the outlet nozzle. The carrier air escapes from the bearing nearly oil free. The compressed air constantly emerging from the bearing also works as a barrier against particles of dirt.

Components

Compact unit with gear pump or gear pump unit, oil/air metering unit with built in piston distributors, ressure control valve for air, pressure gauge for the air pressure, pressure switch for minimum air pressure, set of valves, oil pressure switch, control unit, oil streak sensor.

Advantages

• Higher machining performance due to better speed characteristics
• Better operating reliability due to clean bearings – Bearings protected from penetration by dirt
• Low consumption due to metering in line with the needs Of every friction point.
