P roper lubrication of a system requires attention to detail and careful selection of units that can get the job done for a specific application. It is important to lay the groundwork for a preliminary selection of an oil lube system that matches the machine’s requirements. Lubrication supply arrangements can generally be grouped into three categories: 1) self-contained units for supplying lubrication to individual bearings; 2) circulating systems dedicated to a single piece of equipment such as a motor, a turbine or a compressor; and 3) centralized systems in manufacturing plants, paper mills and metal working. 1 Following is a brief description of each system, including its pertinent guidelines. Self-contained Units A self-contained unit using either simple mechanical recirculation or bath immersion is often sufficient for lubricating individual bearings. If power losses are high, then the system must be augmented with cooling. Capillary action provides adequate oil...
