õlitussüsteemid

õlitussüsteemid, also known as lubrication systems, are essential mechanical components designed to reduce friction between moving parts, thereby preventing wear and tear, dissipating heat, and removing contaminants. These systems are crucial for the longevity and efficient operation of a wide range of machinery, from simple engines to complex industrial equipment. The primary function of an õlitussüsteem is to introduce a lubricant, typically oil or grease, to the surfaces in contact.

There are several types of õlitussüsteemid. The most common include wet sump systems, where the lubricant is stored in a reservoir at the bottom of the engine or machine, and dry sump systems, which employ a separate tank to store the lubricant. Splash lubrication systems rely on the motion of the parts themselves to distribute the lubricant, while pressure lubrication systems use a pump to deliver oil to critical areas under pressure. Force-feed systems are a more advanced form of pressure lubrication, ensuring precise delivery of lubricant to specific points.

Effective õlitussüsteemid typically include components such as a lubricant reservoir, a pump, filters to remove impurities, and a network of passages or lines to guide the lubricant to where it is needed. Regular maintenance, including checking lubricant levels and replacing filters, is vital for the proper functioning and protection of machinery. The choice of lubricant itself is also critical, depending on factors such as operating temperature, load, and the materials of the moving parts.
