What is an oil leveler?

January 7, 2019 By Mike Santora Leave a Comment

SKF-LAHD-Series-Oil-LevellerAs we have learned, lubrication failures are a leading cause of bearing damage. Oil levelers are designed for automatic adjustment of the optimal lubricating oil level within a bearing housing, gear box, crank case or similar oil bath lubrication application. Some oil levelers even allow for effective adjustments during running conditions, optimizing machine performance and increasing service life. Furthermore, they automatically compensate for lubricating oil leakage and offer the possibility of visual inspection of the oil level.
