what’s the difference of self-lubrication and forced lubrication

Self-lubrication and forced lubrication are two different methods in lubrication systems.

Self-lubricating lubrication system refers to the use of well-designed grease or grease, which generates heat through the movement of the friction surface to burn the grease to produce oil vapor and send the lubricating oil vapor to the resin pad to achieve a lubrication effect. Self-lubricating systems can complete lubrication tasks in situ and can be used for a long period of time without frequent maintenance.

The forced lubrication system refers to the forced delivery of lubricating oil or grease to the surface of components that need lubrication through an oil pump or other lubrication equipment. This ensures that appropriate lubrication can be provided under various conditions, especially under high load, high speed or high temperature conditions. The forced lubrication system can provide a more reliable lubrication effect.

Therefore, the main difference between self-lubrication and forced lubrication is the method of lubrication: self-lubrication is achieved through the movement of friction surfaces, while forced lubrication is achieved by forcing lubricating oil or grease into the system through external equipment.
