Oilers
An oiler is a device used to apply lubricating oil to machinery. To ensure effective operation, most moving parts require regular lubrication to prevent wear from friction. Oilers use several different lubricating materials and can apply these materials by various means.
Oilers apply petrol-based lubrication to machines and parts. Lubricant distribution can be powered by many means; it can be driven by manual labor or by pneumatic, hydraulic, or electric power. Delivery techniques for lubricators include constant level, full flow, metered quantity, microfog, and spray methods. Constant level lubrication involves automatic lubricators that provide a continuous supply of lubricant to machines and systems. Microfog lubrication delivers a mixture of atomized, micron oil particles and air.
Oilers are vital to manufacturing industries. Moving or rotating parts of machinery, such as dies, chains, spindles, pumps, cables, rails, bearings, and gears, need to be lubricated in order to continue to run smoothly and reliably.
