Spray lubrication systems apply lubricant as a controlled spray to critical friction points—such as chains, open gears, and guides—at precisely defined intervals. This ensures consistent lubrication and reduces the need for manual intervention.
TRCI supports the selection and specification of spray systems based on lubricant type, application point, environment and required coverage. This helps improve reliability, reduce wear and keep equipment cleaner (application-dependent).
A spray lubrication system is an automated solution that precisely meters lubricant and delivers it as a controlled spray onto a target area. Unlike drip lubrication, spray systems can cover larger surfaces or moving components more evenly when properly configured.
Spray systems can be designed for oils, fluid lubricants, or special products, depending on the application (selection-dependent). The optimal configuration depends on lubricant properties, spray distance, required coverage, environmental conditions, and the chosen control strategy.
The system stores and feeds the lubricant at the required pressure and flow. The selection depends on lubricant type, viscosity, and supply requirements.
Some systems use air assist to atomize the lubricant and control the spray pattern. The choice depends on the lubricant, coverage requirements and available utilities and is configuration-dependent.
The system stores and feeds lubricant at the required pressure/flow. Selection depends on lubricant type, viscosity and supply requirements.
Nozzle type and positioning define spray pattern and coverage. Correct placement helps reach the friction zone while reducing overspray (application-dependent).
Controllers set spray interval and duration. Correct timing matches chain speed, gear rotation or operating cycles for consistent lubrication.
Some systems use air assist to atomise lubricant and shape the spray pattern. Selection depends on lubricant, coverage targets and available utilities (configuration-dependent).
Options include level sensors, pressure monitoring, cycle feedback and alarms to detect faults early and support preventive maintenance (configuration-dependent).
Spray lubrication is commonly used where consistent coverage is required on moving surfaces, or where manual lubrication is difficult, messy or inconsistent.

If overspray must be controlled or air assist is required, include these constraints. We’ll then propose the best-fit spray system and practical next steps.
When you need more uniform coverage on moving surfaces, when access is difficult, or when you want controlled application with reduced mess and oversupply (application-dependent).
Yes—spray lubrication is commonly used for chains and certain open gear applications, depending on lubricant choice and nozzle arrangement.
Not always. Some systems are air-assisted while others are not. The best option depends on lubricant properties and the required spray pattern.
Correct nozzle selection, positioning, timing and dosing help target the friction zone and reduce overspray. Enclosures or shields may be used depending on the machine.
