Advantages and disadvantages of oil sump lubrication and oil mist lubrication for rolling bearings

Oil pool: Simple setup, low investment, thorough lubrication； Regular oil change, oil mist: fuel savings ； Requires high investment in specialized systems; the atomization effect affects the lubrication performance; oil mist is generated, polluting the environment

Lubricating oil in oil sumps is currently a common method of lubrication; it provides only average cooling effects and results in significant waste of lubricant. However, with the advancement of technology, oil mist lubrication technology came into being. Oil mist lubrication has the following advantages: 1. It is suitable for groups of machines and pumps that are located together; since the lubricating oil circulates, it provides an effective cooling effect for the bearings ； 2. Lubricating oil can be reused, which is more energy-efficient ； 3. The investment is high, and a separate oil mist lubrication system is required. If you want to go with an oil mist lubrication system, it is recommended that you conduct a thorough evaluation of it! While aiming to improve your own skills, you need to consider whether you can bring benefits to your boss as well! :lol
