Movement
Full rotation, swing or small angles of movement.
LUBRICATION SYSTEM
Lubrication system design

LUBRICATION SYSTEM
The lubrication pattern depends on the direction of movement and the thickness of the bushing wall.
Spiral grooves, pockets, cells and holes serve various functions. Their shape and location are determined taking into account the direction of movement, workload, wall thickness and ease of maintenance.
WHAT TO CHECK
What affects the geometry of lubricating elements
There is no universal pattern for all hinges.
Load
Working area and direction of the resulting force.
Wall
Permissible groove depth and hole location.
Service
Type of lubricant and frequency of its supply.
HOW THE WORK IS CONSTRUCTED
From the assembly diagram to the processing of the internal surface
After checking the drawing, coordinates, transitions and control dimensions are set. Geometry is performed before or after individual routing operations, depending on the material and heat treatment.
Scheme
Direction of movement and delivery point.
Manufacturability
Tool, depth and accessibility of processing.
Control
Position, edge cleanliness and work surface.
RESULT
Lubrication system as part of the agreed drawing
The shape of the grooves and holes must be recorded in the documentation so that a repeat batch reproduces the same working surface.

BEFORE AGREEMENT
The lubrication geometry is checked by the movement of the unit
Grooves, pockets, cells and holes perform different functions and are not selected based on the image alone. Coordination requires the direction and amplitude of movement, load zone, lubricant viscosity, supply path and service interval. The wall thickness should allow the selected geometry to be performed without weakening the part.
Movement
Rotation, swing, stroke and direction of load change.
Submission
Entry point, holes, distribution and outlet of lubricant.
Geometry
A groove, pocket or cell linked to the working area.
Check
Dimensions of elements, cleanliness of channels and surface condition.
NEXT STEP
Show the movement of the unit and the existing lubrication scheme
The joint section, lubricant type, maintenance frequency, and bushing drawing are helpful.
