How to Choose the Right Lubrication System for Your CNC Machine?

Industrial lubrication systems can be categorized into two main types based on the lubricant used: oil lubrication system, and grease lubrication system. Most lubricators are designed for oil viscosity 32~100cSt@40℃, and for grease viscosity is NLGI 000~2.

For more details, please refer to "Differences between Oil (Low-viscosity oil) and Grease Lubrication Systems" and "Differences between Resistance and Pressure-Relief Lubrication Systems".

Chen Ying offers a variety of lubrication systems, each with unique characteristics and advantages. The following table can assist you in selecting the most suitable oiler model for your needs:

Lubrication System Type	Discharge Volume	Lubricator Model	Control Method
Oil Lubrication System	Non-quantitative	Resistance Type Oil Lubricators	Manual type , Electric type (PLC/Timer), Pneumatic type
		Circulating Type Oil Lubricators	Electric type (PLC/Timer)
		Oil-Mist Type Lubricators	Electric type (PLC/Timer),Pneumatic type
	Quantitative	Pressure-Relief Type Oil Lubricators	Manual type , Electric type (PLC/Timer), Pneumatic type
		Oil-Air Type Lubricators	Pneumatic type(PLC),Electric type(Timer)
		Minimum Quantity Oil Lubricators	Pneumatic type
Grease Lubrication System	Non-quantitative	Resistance Type Grease Lubricators	Manual type ,Electric type (PLC/Timer),Pneumatic type
	Quantitative	Pressure-Relief Type Grease Lubricators	Electric type (PLC/Timer)
	Quantitative	Minimum Quantity Grease Lubricators	Pneumatic type

※If precise lubrication quantities are required at each point, the "Quantitative" or "pressure-relief type" lubrication system is the preferred choice.

※When continuous lubrication is required, please avoid lubricators equipped with motor thermal protection devices to prevent overheating and machine stoppage.

※For cutting fluids lubricator, please refer to COM Oil-Mist Type Lubricators.
