Oil-Air Lubrication vs Oil Mist Lubrication | High Viscosity Lubricant Solution

2022-07-03

Compared with traditional oil mist lubrication, oil-air lubrication offers significant advantages, especially in lubricant selection and application flexibility.

One of the major limitations of oil mist lubrication is its strict requirement for lubricant viscosity. Many high-viscosity lubricants cannot be effectively atomized and transported, which restricts lubricant selection.

Oil-air lubrication overcomes this limitation with its unique two-phase flow delivery technology.

Wide Range of Lubricant Viscosity Compatibility

Oil-air lubrication combines a small amount of lubricant with compressed air and transports it directly to lubrication points through pipelines.

Thanks to this delivery principle, the system can handle a much wider range of lubricants, including lubricants with viscosity up to 7500 mm²/s.

This allows oil-air lubrication systems to work effectively with:

Low-viscosity lubricating oils
High-viscosity industrial oils
Semi-fluid grease
Special lubricants containing solid additives

The ability to transport different types of lubricants provides greater flexibility for complex industrial applications.

Recommended Lubricants for Industrial Applications

For most heavy-duty industrial equipment, ISO VG 220–460 high-temperature extreme-pressure gear oils or synthetic oils are commonly recommended.

These lubricants provide:

Excellent high-temperature stability
Strong load-carrying capacity
Reduced friction and wear
Improved oxidation resistance
Longer lubricant service life

Even under high-temperature and heavy-load conditions, these oils can maintain stable lubrication performance and provide reliable protection for critical components.

Better Choice for Heavy-Duty Equipment

In industries such as steel production, rolling mills, and continuous casting systems, equipment often operates under high load, high temperature, and harsh environmental conditions.

With better lubricant compatibility and more efficient oil delivery, oil-air lubrication helps improve equipment reliability, extend component life, and reduce maintenance requirements.
