Detail view of Oil mist lubrication system

Description
The OIL MIST LUBRICATION SYSTEM is specially designed to cope with the requirement where oilling is to be supplied in the form of Fog/mist. It is available both on intermittent/continuous discharge.
Application
The Oil Mist Lubricator is best suitable for Conveyors, Sliding chains, Spindles, Stripes, Drives of Power Presses and Shearing Machines, Textile Machines etc.
Operational Function
The Oil Mist Lubricator consists with an imported acrylic reservoir which is joined with a single or multi outlet block.
The oil block is primarily a metering block in which oil discharge corresponds to stroke of small pistons provided inside the block.The pistons which are of spring return type moves with the pressurised air connected to air inlet point of the block. With the movement of pistons, oil is sucked from the reservoir and the sucked quantity is controlled /adjusted by adjusting stroke of piston by an adjusting screw.
Device
The system is a combination of a acrylic reservoir tank, Vertical float switch, Oil Block, Air Regulator, Solenoid Valve, FRL Unit, Nozzle for Mist, Timer (for intermittent).Four nos. mounting brackets are provided on the back wall of Mist unit to mount the unit on to any vertical surface
Installation
The systems are suggested to install at some convenient place preferably very nearer to the lubrication points.The mounting dimension are given in the drawing. Mostly 4mm and 10mm Nylon Tube is required to connect from block with the lubrication point.
How Oil Mist Lubrication Works
The mist lubrication system uses compressed air to atomise oil into a fine aerosol mist. The air-oil mixture is then delivered through tubing to the lubrication point — typically a bearing, spindle, or chain — where the oil droplets settle and form a thin lubricating film. Because the oil is delivered as a mist rather than a flood, the lubrication is continuous and very precise, using minimal oil volumes.
The quantity of oil delivered is controlled by adjusting the stroke of the metering piston inside the oil block, using a simple adjustment screw. This allows the system to be tuned precisely for each application.
Advantages of Oil Mist Lubrication
- Extremely low oil consumption — lubricant is metered precisely at each cycle
- No oil pooling or flooding at the lubrication point
- Suitable for high-speed spindles and bearings where excess oil causes heat buildup
- Continuous lubrication without manual intervention
- Can serve multiple lubrication points from a single unit
- Available in intermittent and continuous discharge modes
Typical Industries and Machines
Oil mist lubrication is widely used in CNC machining centres, textile machinery, power presses, shearing machines, and conveyor chains where conventional drip or grease lubrication is impractical. SP Engineers manufactures and supplies mist lubrication systems from Faridabad, India — suitable for single or multi-point installations.
