Every type of lubrication system has its advantages and disadvantages and no system is practical in all situations. However, air-oil systems are Producing promising results. Lubrication systems attempt to deliver clean grease or oil to bearing surfaces in the correct amount, either intermittently or continuously. The desired results are healthy bearings, long equipment life fewer repairs limited downtime and high production rates In the past systems had varying degrees of success accomplishing these objectives. One system type, air-oil, has a long history in high-speed bearings with good results. In recent years, air-oil systems nave very effectively lubricated steel mill equipment such as main mill bearings, roller lines, furnace tables and steel caster bearings.
