The primary purpose of an industrial centralized lubrication system is to provide timely and appropriate amounts of lubricant to any moving or rotating parts of mechanical equipment. From the source of the lubrication system, the lubricant is distributed through pipelines and accurately supplied to multiple lubrication points at specific intervals. The system consists of an oiler or a lubricator equipped with indicator lights and pressure gauges, distributors, float switches, filters, and piping components, forming a complete lubrication system.
To ensure the continuous and smooth operation of mechanical equipment, proper lubrication management is essential to maximize equipment performance. Both industrial lubricating oils and greases are commonly used lubricants in Centralized Lubrication Systems. Lubricants serve various functions in different applications:
