Why Choose a Resistance Lubrication System?
Simple System Structure: A resistance lubrication system can use a relatively straightforward pump, main line, metering devices, and branch lines.
Controlled Oil Distribution: Resistance metering devices help regulate the amount of oil delivered to different lubrication points.
Suitable for Multiple Lubrication Points: Multiple bearings, guideways, gears, and other lubrication points can be connected to one centralized oil supply.
Flexible Metering
Different resistance values can be selected according to the lubrication requirements of individual points.
Easy System Integration
The system can be incorporated into machine tools and automated production equipment.
Reduced Manual Lubrication
Centralized oil distribution reduces the need for technicians to manually lubricate individual points.
Compact Configuration
The relatively simple distribution architecture can be suitable for machines where installation space is limited.
How Does a Resistance Lubrication System Work?
Oil Supply
The lubrication pump draws oil from the reservoir and supplies it to the main lubrication line.
System Pressurization
The pump creates the pressure required to move lubricant through the distribution network.
Flow Restriction
Resistance metering devices restrict the oil flow according to their individual resistance characteristics.
Lubricant Distribution
Oil passes through each metering device and is delivered to its connected lubrication point.
Lubrication Cycle
Depending on the system configuration, the pump can operate continuously, intermittently, or according to a preset lubrication schedule.
Flow Balancing
Metering resistance can be selected according to the required oil quantity of each lubrication point, helping distribute lubricant across the system.
Resistance vs. Positive Displacement Lubrication
Resistance and positive displacement systems both provide centralized lubrication, but their metering principles are different.

Resistance Lubrication System Components
Oil Lubrication Pump: Supplies lubricant to the main line, controlled by timer, machine signal, PLC, or dedicated controller. Selection considers oil flow, system pressure, reservoir capacity, lubrication frequency, point count, oil viscosity, and operating temperature.
Resistance Metering Units: Regulate oil flow to individual lubrication points. Different metering configurations can be selected per required lubricant quantity.
Distribution Blocks: Organize multiple lubrication outlets and simplify system installation.
Oil Tubing & Fittings: Connect pump, metering units, and lubrication points. Selection considers oil compatibility, working pressure, temperature, installation environment, tube length, and machine movement.
Pressure Monitoring: Pressure switches and gauges monitor the system, helping maintenance personnel identify abnormal pressure and potential problems.
Control Unit: A controller or timer determines the lubrication interval. For automated machinery, the system can be integrated with the machine control system where required.
Applications
Machine Tools: CNC machines, lathes, milling machines, grinding machines, machining centers, and automated machine tools. Resistance oil lubrication can be used for guideways, bearings, slides, and other components requiring controlled oil delivery.
Industrial Production Equipment: Production lines, automated machinery, packaging equipment, textile machinery, processing machinery, and material handling equipment. Centralized oil distribution simplifies lubrication maintenance across multiple machine points.
Guideway Lubrication: Machine guideways often require a controlled and regular supply of oil. Resistance systems distribute oil from a central reservoir to multiple guideways or sliding surfaces.
Bearing Lubrication: The system can be configured to supply oil to multiple bearings where continuous or intermittent lubrication is required.
Textile Machinery: High-speed textile equipment contains multiple bearings and moving components requiring regular oil lubrication. A centralized resistance system provides controlled oil supply while reducing manual lubrication requirements.
