Air/oil lubrication system OSD series

for high-speed spindleselectric

The Air-Oil Mixing system delivers high efficiency lubrication for high-speed spindles and other applications requiring accurate oil deliveries, in combination with air flow. The Air-Oil Mixing Unit is versatile and allows multiple configurations that enable systems to be designed to suit various applications. Application The Air-Oil Mixing Unit is ideal for application on smaller equipment where space is a premium, the system allows the lubricator to be remotely positioned on the equipment. It includes everything required to provide for precision lubrication, Air-Oil mixing manifold to inject oil into the air delivery tubing, Air Treatment System (primary 5 micron filter and a secondary 0.01 micron coalescing filter) and an On-off Air Solenoid. The Air-Oil Mixing Unit is fitted with the provision for monitoring the air and oil pressures. The Air-Oil Mixing Unit is designed to deliver small amounts of lubricant in a uniform and continuous feed basis. The oil is injected periodically into the output air stream every 1~5 minutes and depending on oil viscosity and air pressure, delivers continuous particles of lubricant to the bearing. The goal is to still have lubricant exiting the tubing at the end of the interval, then initiate another oil injection. Spindles with high RPM and DN values over 500,000 benefit the most from the continuous oil delivery, as well as small pitch chain, cam followers and linear bearing subjected to coolant and debris. The ground rule is the Air-Oil systems must be vented and have a flow path to carry the lubricant to the desired surface. Spindles, housings and linear bearings must be vented to work properly.
