What is a Lubricator?

An oil lubricator is a device used to supply lubricating oil to the moving parts of machinery. Its primary function is to reduce friction, prevent damage, and dissipate heat, ensuring smooth operation and extending the lifespan of mechanical components. There are various types, ranging from manual to automatic lubricators, depending on the machine type and application. Automatic lubricators dispense oil at preset intervals or based on operating conditions, minimizing the need for manual maintenance. These devices are widely used in industries, vehicles, machine tools, and conveyor belts, contributing to efficient operation and cost savings.

Application of Lubricator

１．Industrial Machinery Maintenance
In factories, automatic lubricators are installed on moving parts of industrial machinery used in production lines. These lubricators prevent wear on gears and bearings, supply oil regularly, and reduce the risk of breakdowns.
２．Automotive Chassis Lubrication
Manual lubricators are sometimes used to supply oil to a car's chassis or suspension parts. This helps prevent component deterioration and ensures smooth vehicle operation.
３．Lubrication of Machine Tools
CNC lathes and milling machines require regular lubrication for precise operation. Automatic lubricators supply oil based on programmed intervals or conditions, extending the machine's lifespan while minimizing downtime.
４．Escalator and Conveyor Belt Lubrication
Escalators in shopping malls or airports and conveyor belts are equipped with automatic lubricators. These ensure smooth operation even with long hours of use, preventing wear and breakdowns.
５．Wind Turbine Maintenance
Wind turbines often have moving blades and bearings prone to friction. Since they are located in remote areas, automatic lubricators reduce maintenance frequency and help ensure efficient power generation.
