Lubrication Methods

Lubrication methods or lubrication technologies are applied to convey lubricants at certain intervals and in agreed quantities to one or several lubrication points. Depending on the lubrication method, the lubricant is delivered as needed.

Lubrication methods are used in industrial applications as well as many other fields. Thus, lubrication methods are essential for all kinds of vehicles, small machines, construction machinery, agricultural machinery, and wind turbine technology. To meet the ever-growing demands of our highly engineered world, new lubrication methods are constantly developed or existing procedures are further refined. In addition to different lubrication methods, various lubricants (lubrication media) play a significant role. The industry's growing demands seek innovative solutions for various lubrication procedures and technologies.

Consumption lubrication:

Consumption lubrication delivers the lubricant to the lubrication point. After the lubrication process, the lubricant, if any remains, is replaced with fresh lubricant.

Circulation lubrication:

Circulatory lubrication is a closed circuit system in which the lubricant is conveyed to different lubrication points (friction points) and returns to the lubricant reservoir.
