roiskejärjestelmä

A roiskejärjestelmä, or splash lubrication system, is a method of lubricating moving parts in machinery. It functions by dipping a component, such as a gear or bearing, into an oil reservoir. As the machinery operates, this dipping action splashes the oil onto other components that require lubrication. This creates a continuous film of oil that reduces friction and wear between moving surfaces.

Splash lubrication is a relatively simple and cost-effective lubrication method. It is commonly found in applications where parts are already immersed in oil or where a consistent supply of oil is needed without complex pumping mechanisms. Examples include gearboxes, certain types of engines, and some industrial machinery. The effectiveness of a splash lubrication system depends on factors like the speed of the moving parts, the viscosity of the lubricant, and the design of the oil reservoir and splashing components. Proper maintenance, including ensuring adequate oil levels and cleanliness, is crucial for the system to function optimally and prevent damage to the machinery.
