What Does Pressure Lubrication Mean?
1 Answers
Pressure lubrication refers to adding an oil pump to the engine, which uses the pressure of the oil pump to forcibly supply oil to various components. Pressure lubrication is a type of forced lubrication, primarily relying on the pressure generated by the oil pump to deliver lubricating oil. It is mainly used for lubricating high-load friction surfaces such as main bearings, connecting rod bearings, and camshaft bearings. The role of pressure lubrication is to improve product performance; enhanced lubrication can reduce the temperature between components, which helps increase the product's toughness. Currently, there are three types of lubrication systems used in automobiles: pressure lubrication, splash lubrication, and compound lubrication.
