Circulating Lubrication Systems

In contrast to total loss lubrication systems, after the oil passes through the point requiring lubrication, it is fed back through the return line into the oil reservoir for reuse. In addition to lubricating, circulating-oil lubrication performs a range of other functions. It stabilizes the lubrication points to the proper temperature, removes and filters out wear particles from friction points, prevents corrosion damage, and removes water condensation.
