What is the difference between single-line lubrication systems?

A single-line lubrication system is a system that uses a single supply line to deliver lubricating oil to a target component. It features a central pumping station that automatically delivers lubricant to the dosing unit. Each metering unit serves only one lubrication point and can be adjusted to the needs of the application. Single-line lubrication systems have only one main line, usually a piston pump injects lubricant into the main line and distributes the lubricant to the lubrication points through the oil injector. The oil injectors are operated independently of each other and can be individually adjusted or monitored.

Compared to other lubrication systems of this type, the operation of single-line lubrication systems is simple. It is easy to conceptualize and understand. As such, it tends to be one of the easiest options to install, manage, and maintain. The lubrication pump pushes the oil from the reservoir into the main line. Connected to this main pipe are a series of single-line distributors that pump a certain amount of lubricant to the metering device, which is then applied to the target part.

Single-line lubrication systems can handle almost all oil types. As a result, your system will most likely work with whatever lubricant you currently use, as well as any lubricants you may switch to in the future. Conversely, more complex systems often cannot handle all types of lubricants.

Single-line lubrication system for reliability. Due to the simplicity of single-line lubrication systems, they tend to have a high degree of reliability. They usually do not fail and can be repaired in time if they do. Robustness. Single-line lubrication systems are often very robust against damage and failure. If one part of the system fails, such as the distributor, the rest of the system can continue to operate. Of course, blockages on mainline lines can have wide-ranging effects; However, failures that occur further afield usually only affect the local area. Wide range of capabilities. The single-line system can pump over long distances, support many lubrication points and handle a wide range of temperatures. This coincides with lubricant compatibility, making the setup of single-line systems very flexible.

Working principle of single-line lubrication system; The central pumping station automatically transports the lubricating oil to the lube metering unit via a single supply line. Each metering unit serves only one lubrication point and can be adjusted to precisely convey the required grease or oil. The single-line lubrication system outputs oil at the pumping station, through the main oil to the multi-oil through the main distributor. This multi-channel oil is divided into more seasonal oils in the second distributor. If required, a three-stage distributor can be added to form a single-wire progressive oil circuit that provides oil to hundreds of lubrication points.

Features of a single-line system: simple piping, low cost, only one fuel supply supervisor is required. The mechanism is small, the environment is poor, and important lubrication points can improve the reliability of refueling by automatic refueling.

The single-line setup is the most common type of automatic lubrication system and is suitable for small and medium lubrication systems. Used in machine tools, printing machinery, steel industry, railway, construction machinery, forestry, industrial automation, etc.
