Voitelulaitteistot

Voitelulaitteistot refer to systems and equipment used for applying lubricants to mechanical components. The primary purpose of these systems is to reduce friction, wear, and heat, thereby extending the lifespan and improving the efficiency of machinery. They can range from simple manual devices to complex automated systems.

Manual lubrication involves direct application of lubricant, often using grease guns or oil cans. This method is suitable for less critical applications or where access to components is intermittent. Automatic lubrication systems, on the other hand, deliver lubricant to multiple points at predetermined intervals without manual intervention. These systems are crucial for machinery operating in harsh environments, at high speeds, or in locations that are difficult to access.

Types of automatic lubrication systems include single-point lubricators, which are self-contained units that dispense a fixed amount of lubricant over time, and centralized systems. Centralized systems typically consist of a lubricant reservoir, a pump, a distribution network of tubes or hoses, and metering devices that control the amount of lubricant delivered to each lubrication point. These systems can be further categorized into grease systems and oil systems, depending on the type of lubricant used.

The selection of a voitelulaitteisto depends on various factors such as the type of machinery, operating conditions, the nature of the lubricant, and the required lubrication frequency and volume. Proper design, installation, and maintenance of lubrication equipment are essential for effective lubrication and to prevent equipment failure.
