Abstract
A lubrication system for mutually displaceable bodies of a mechanical device, comprises a porous element and a lubricating liquid (11) comprising dispersed particles (12), the size of the pores (10) of the porous element, and the size of the particles (12) being selected such that the pores (10) of the porous element become blocked by the particles contained in the lubricant liquid film (11) in the area of contact of said porous element with one of the bodies.
Claims3
Lubrication system for mutually displaceable bodies of a mechanical device, said system comprising a porous element and a lubricating liquid comparing dispersed particles, the size of the pores of the porous element, and the size of the particles being selected such that the pores of the porous element become blocked by the particles contained in the lubricant liquid film in the area of contact of said porous element with one of the bodies, wherein the size of the particles is larger than the size of the pores.
Lubrication system for mutually displaceable bodies of a mechanical device, said system comprising a porous element and a lubricating liquid comprising dispersed particles, the size of the pores of the porous element, and the size of the particles being selected such that the pores of the porous element become blocked by the particles contained in the lubricant liquid film in the area of contact of said porous element with one of the bodies, wherein the lubrication liquid is an oil comprising PTFE particles.
Lubrication system for mutually displaceable bodies of a mechanical device, said system comprising a porous element and a lubricating liquid comprising dispersed particles, the size of the pores of the porous element, and the size of the particles being selected such that the pores of the porous element become blocked by the particles contained in the lubricant liquid film in the area of contact of said porous element with one of the bodies, wherein the effective pore size increases towards the contact area.
