Oil and Air Lubrication Systems
SKF oil and air lubrication systems are designed to deliver precise amounts of lubricant to high-speed bearings, chains, and other moving components. They combine a steady flow of compressed air with finely metered oil, ensuring each point receives the right amount of lubrication without excess. As a result, these systems enhance efficiency, reduce wear, and extend the lifespan of critical equipment.
How Oil and Air Lubrication Works
A carefully balanced mix of oil and air is continuously supplied to the lubrication point. The compressed air transports small, consistent oil droplets directly to the area that needs protection. This ensures minimal friction and prevents overheating during high-speed or continuous operation. Unlike traditional lubrication systems, SKF’s oil and air technology provides cleaner operation, less waste, and improved control over lubricant delivery.
Benefits of Oil and Air Lubrication
Prevents abrasion and skidding
Protects surfaces from corrosion and contamination
Improves machining precision and surface finish
Reduces lubricant consumption and maintenance downtime
Increases system reliability and overall efficiency
These systems are particularly suited to modern manufacturing where speed and precision are essential. Consequently, they help maintain optimal machine performance while reducing operational costs.
Applications
High-speed bearings in machine tool spindles
Chains and conveyors
Special applications within the steel and automotive industries
In addition, SKF oil and air systems are ideal for applications requiring a controlled, continuous lubricant supply under high load or temperature conditions.
