The lubricating oil for the pump and the motor shares the same lubrication system, right?

As the title says. I see that this is the case for the vast majority of pump units – the pump and the motor share the same lubricating oil system. Is this the design as it is? Thank you!

Not all pumps and motors share the same lubrication system. Motors usually have their own lubrication system, while pumps may have a separate lubrication system depending on their type and design, or they may use the medium being pumped as lubricant. In certain specific pump-machine combinations (such as integrated pump-machine units), the pump and motor may share a lubrication system to simplify design and reduce the number of maintenance points, but this is not the case in general. .

It cannot be generalized, as the category covered by \"pumps\" is quite broad. For a conventional light oil lubrication supply system, one oil supply station is sufficient to meet the requirements; it is only necessary to set up additional stations according to the needs of the equipment. For reference.

That’s right; the lubrication for this motor and pump needs to be designed based on the lubrication requirements of the equipment, as well as the design characteristics of the equipment itself. It can’t be generalized

Thank you for the reply. For the large-scale pump on site, it seems that the lubricating oil is shared by both the pump and the motor through the same system. If a small motor is greased, it is not shared.

Our centrifugal compressors and motors share the same lubrication system
