Oil-mist lubrication (Oil-mist Lubrication) is a lubrication method in which lubricating oil particles are transported by a gas carrier, and the oil is distributed by a condensing nozzle, and the particles are condensed and then supplied to each lubrication point.

Jet Lubrication (Lubrication Spattering or Oil Jet Lubrication) The lubrication method in which the lubricant and a certain pressure of compressed air are mixed with the injection valve and then shot to the lubrication point

Aerosol Lubrication is a lubrication method in which compressed air is mixed with oil and sent to the lubrication point in the form of oil/air-fine oil droplets or particles. Aerosol Lubrication

Dispersed lubrication (Individual Point Lubrication) Manual oiling using portable tools

Centralized Lubrication System is a system that supplies lubricant to the friction points of a machine or unit from a centralized oil source

The friction point (Wear Point) where the frictional force acts. The friction point is an integral part of the friction pair

The lubrication point (Lubrication Point) supplies the lubricant to the fixed friction point. The lubrication point is an integral part of the centralized lubrication system of the machine or unit

Action Point is the part of the centralized lubrication system that is often subjected to external actions (such as refueling, operation, control, exhaust, maintenance, etc.) to ensure the normal operation of the system

Filler Point [(Lubricant) Filler Point] The part (action point) where the lubricant is injected into the centralized lubrication system, such as the filling joint of the fuel tank

Bleed point (Airbleed) The exhaust point (action point) specified by the lubrication system, exhaust can be carried out by using the exhaust valve and switch

Restrictor System is a system that distributes lubricant by utilizing fluid flow resistance. Liquid flow is proportional to pressure and orifice size

Single-line system (Single-line System) The lubricant is supplied to the distributor through a single main line under the action of intermittent pressure, and then sent to the centralized lubrication system of each lubrication point

Two-line system (Two-line System) Under the action of pressure, the lubricant is supplied to the distributor through two main lines that are alternately changed by a reversing valve, and then sent to each lubrication point by the pressure change of the lines centralized lubrication system.

Multi-line system (Multi-line System) The multiple oil outlets of the oil pump each have a pipeline to directly supply the quantitative lubricant to the centralized lubrication system of each lubrication point

Progressive Plunger System is a centralized lubrication system that supplies a certain amount of lubricant to each lubrication point in a progressive order from the distributor.

Oil-mist system is a centralized lubrication system for oil-mist lubrication

Combined system is a centralized lubrication system composed of several lubrication systems.

The lubrication pump (Displacement Pomp) relies on the change of the closed working volume to realize the pump that delivers the lubricant

The change (increase or decrease) of the working volume of the reciprocating lubrication pump (Oscillating Displacement Pump) is realized by the reciprocating oil pressure part. The reciprocating lubrication pump commonly used in the centralized lubrication system is the plunger pump.

The change (increase or decrease) of the working volume of the rotary lubrication pump (Rotaty Displacement Pump) is realized by the oil pressure part of the rotary motion. Rotary lubrication pumps commonly used in centralized lubrication systems are gear pumps, cycloid rotor pumps, vane pumps and screw pumps

Multi-line pump is a lubrication pump with multiple oil outlets. The oil discharge volume of each oil outlet can be adjusted individually

Lubricant Reservoir A container for storing lubricants

The pipeline between the pressure line oil pump and the main line valve (unloading valve, reversing valve, etc.) is used to supply lubricant to the main line

Relief Line The pipe between the main line valve and the fuel tank, its purpose is to depressurize the main line after the end of the lubrication work cycle

The main line (Main Line) oil pump or the valve connected to the oil pump (unloading valve, reversing valve, etc.) and the pipeline connected to the distributor, its purpose is to supply lubricant to the distributor.

Secondary Feed Line The pipeline connecting the distributor or pump and the lubrication point via the oil outlet of a distributor and the oil inlet of a distributor on the other hand.

The distributor (Lubricant Metering Device, or Metering Valve Distributors) quantitatively distributes the lubricant to each lubrication point of the centralized lubrication system
