öljynnostopisteitä

öljynnostopisteitä is a Finnish term that translates to "oil lifting points" or "oil pick-up points" in English. It refers to specific locations within an engine or machinery where lubricating oil is drawn from a reservoir or sump to be circulated throughout the system. These points are crucial for ensuring adequate lubrication and preventing wear on moving parts.

The design of these points varies depending on the application. In internal combustion engines, for instance, the oil pump typically draws oil through a strainer or a pickup tube located near the bottom of the oil pan. This ensures that even when the oil level is low, the pump can still access the lubricant. The strainer's primary function is to prevent larger debris from entering the pump and causing damage.

In other types of machinery, such as gearboxes or hydraulic systems, oil lifting points might be integrated differently. They could be designed to capture oil splashed by moving components or to draw oil from a specific sump area. The effectiveness of the oil lifting point is directly related to the overall lubrication efficiency and the lifespan of the equipment. Proper maintenance and ensuring the oil level is within the recommended range are essential to guarantee that the oil lifting points can function as intended.
