What is a auto lube?
Automatic lubrication (also called autolube or auto-lube) refers to a lubrication system on a two-stroke engine, in which the oil is automatically mixed with fuel and manual oil-fuel pre-mixing is not necessary.
What are the purposes of automatic vehicle grease lubrication systems?
Automatic Lubrication Provides Optimal Lubrication Accurate, dependable lubrication is the most critical preventive maintenance step in preserving the life and productivity of any fleet. Automatic lubrication systems provide consistent lubrication on a more frequent basis than manual lubrication.
What are the different types of automatic lubrication systems?
There are several different types of automatic lubrication systems including:
- Single Line Parallel systems.
- Dual Line Parallel systems.
- Single Point Automatics.
- Single Line Progressive systems (or Series Progressive)
- Single Line Resistance.
- Oil Mist and Air-Oil systems.
- Oil re-circulating.
- Chain lube systems.
How do you service a lubrication system?
Lubrication System Maintenance Check List
- Clean lubrication reservoir periodically but do NOT use cotton or fiber rags.
- Inspect suction filter and screens: filter should be replaced and screens should be cleaned annually.
- Remove and clean strainer regularly.
- Change line filter (pressure filter) annually.
How does the automatic lubricator work?
The displacement lubricator was introduced in the United Kingdom in 1860 by John Ramsbottom. It operates by allowing steam to enter a closed vessel containing oil. After condensing, the water sinks to the bottom of the vessel, causing the oil to rise and overflow into delivery pipes.
What is the function of lubrication system?
The job of the lubrication system is to distribute oil to the moving parts to reduce friction between surfaces which rub against each other. The lubrication system used by the Wright brothers is quite simple. An oil pump is located on the bottom of the engine, at the left of the figure.
What are the three types of lubrication system?
There are three different types of lubrication: boundary, mixed and full film. Each type is different, but they all rely on a lubricant and the additives within the oils to protect against wear. Full-film lubrication can be broken down into two forms: hydrodynamic and elastohydrodynamic.
How does an automatic chain oiling system work?
The fully adjustable pump requires no electricity and can automatically oil up to 10 chains and sprockets. Oil is pumped to the system’s brushes, which clean debris off equipment chains and disperse the oil to pin bushing joints.
How does the lubeminder in an automatic oiling system work?
Oil is pumped to the system’s brushes, which clean debris off equipment chains and disperse the oil to pin bushing joints. The LubeMinder® applies oil while the chain is warm and running, consistently oiling to minimize metal-to-metal contact and cool equipment parts.
What’s the difference between oil and Grease in an automatic lubrication system?
Oil versus grease can vary even though their primary use is mostly stationary for oil and mobile for grease, some stationary manufacturing equipment will use grease systems. Automatic lubrication system is designed to apply lubricant in small, measured amounts over short, frequent time intervals.
How does a fixed flow chainsaw oiler work?
In a fixed flow system, lubrication is released onto the bar at a constant rate. This system works ok, but it won’t allow for you to adjust the oil release for temperature changes, harder woods, etc. In an adjustable flow system, the flow rate can be adjusted by turning a screw on the oil pump, and it allows you to account for all these variables.
The fully adjustable pump requires no electricity and can automatically oil up to 10 chains and sprockets. Oil is pumped to the system’s brushes, which clean debris off equipment chains and disperse the oil to pin bushing joints.

What do you need to know about automatic lubrication?
Whether you know it as an automatic lubrication system, an auto greaser or a centralized grease or oil lubrication system, an ALS automatically lubricates multiple points on a machine from a centralized pump/control unit which is mounted in an easily accessible location.
Is there an automatic oiler for chains and sprockets?
The LubeMinder® Automatic Oiler lubricates chains and sprockets to eliminate having to manually maintain equipment during critical harvest periods. The fully adjustable pump requires no electricity and can automatically oil up to 10 chains and sprockets.
