Oil lubrication system

continuousfor bearingsfor spindles

A minimal lubrication system operating on ultra low oil consumption. Compressed air is used as a carrier. Metered oil, suitably mixed with air, is conveyed in non atomised state to the lubrication point. AZETA AIR MIX is especially recommended for lubrication of high speed rolling contact bearings on spindles, electro-spindles and of rotating bushes of lathes with sliding headstock. For linear guides, the continuous flow keeps clean the tracks and races of balls or slides, as well as the contact races of rolling contact bearings. The ultra high speed, powerful, precise movements of today’s machine tools call for optimal, long-lasting and clean lubrication. The AZETA new system ensures this after many years of tests on its own machine tools. The AIR MIX system is a minimal lubrication air-oil system, with low oil consumption. The oil is dosed intermittently, while the flow of air is continuous. These two elements produce a very fine lubricating mixture that uses air as a carrier. The quantity of oil comes within a value, in many cases even lower, of 10-7 compared to the air, per unit of time. This mixture can be modified with the flow rate of the dosing valve and the number of operations-hour according to the requirements of lubrication or lube cooling. The AIR MIX system with occlusion check is different from the basic version in the mixer modules, which have the addition of a special valve in line with the lubricant air duct. The mixer module with the occlusion check valve can be used on its own or combinable, fitted on a mixing unit base.
