  How to Bleed Air from a Lubrication System

  Air must be bled from lubrication lines whenever it is present. Incomplete bleeding can cause abnormal noise, vibration, corrosion and wear, resulting in insufficient or no lubricant delivery, reduced efficiency and possible failure. Six common causes of air entering the lubrication system are: Inco···

  CV Single-cycle Distributor: Structural Overview

  The CV single-cycle distributor, also called a progressive distributor, works with oil or grease in resistance-type lubrication systems. Each outlet has a piston. Lubricant passes the first piston, then the second, and continues sequentially. One complete cycle dispenses lubricant once from every ou···

  Differences Between Oil and Grease Lubrication Systems

  Industrial lubrication systems fall into two main groups according to the lubricant: oil lubrication systems and grease lubrication systems. A comparison table follows for reference: Lubrication system. Lubricating oil （ Rare oil) Grease （ fat) Oil characteristics. Low-viscosity oil has high fluidit···

  Differences Between Resistance-type and Pressure-relief Lubrication Systems

  Details may vary by manufacturer, but the principles are similar. The following table compares the two for reference: Type Resistance-type ( non-metered lubrication) Pressure-relief type ( metered lubrication) Description In resistance-type systems, oil delivery depends on flow resistance: lower res···

  Why Do Machines Need Lubrication?

  Why Do Machines Need Lubrication? High-speed machinery generates friction and heat, causing surface wear that affects precision. Industrial lubrication systems therefore play an important role in machine tools. Components of industrial lubrication systems. The main components of an industrial lubric···

  How to Prevent a Reduction in the Internal Diameter of Oil Pipes

  Soft nylon and rubber tubes can have their internal diameter reduced by sleeves and sleeve caps. To maintain an unobstructed lubrication line, fit suitable internal support inserts at both tube ends to support the bore.
