BEKA Oil Circulation Systems

Gearboxes and highly stressed bearings require special attention and need to be effectively lubricated and stay as cool as possible. Especially for those kind of applications Groeneveld-BEKA manufactures oil circulation systems according to customer specifications.

Oil circulation systems keep the oil free from dirt particles, air and water and can assure the best possible operating temperature that is necessary for the application to prevent wear and corrosion.

• Complete customized system
• Including cooling or heating for optimized operating oil temperature
System overview

An oil circulation system consists of at least a reservoir, a pump unit, pressure limiting valve, filter, oil return line connection, oil filling and ventilation cover and an oil level indicator.

Besides these parts, additional devices can be used in the system to suit the needs, like oil/water or oil/air cooling, heating in order to warm-up the oil to the optimal operating temperature or an thermo oil tank to heat and preserve the temperature of the oil, flow control valves, flow limiting devices etc.

To distribute the oil to the lubrication points within an oil circulation system, progressive distributors are used. The distribution can be done directly by a progressive distributor at a little number of lubrication points. Large numbers of lubrication points requires the distribution via a main distributor with down streamed secondary distributors.

In many cases, the progressive distributors of the main pressure line are supplied with lubricant via fixed or adjustable flow control valves. Individual distributor groups can be monitored on function and min. volume flow exactly and in an economic way, when installing e.g. a flanged solenoid valve at the distributors.
