Abstract
An oil-mist lubricator is provided that can stably supply oil mist uniform in particle diameter, and that can also be used for the supplying of cutting oil in minute-amount cutting. An oil-mist lubricator turns oil into oil mist after the oil is discharged from a fixed displacement pump that sucks a and discharges oil in an oil tank. In this lubricator, a cyclone is provided for selecting only oil mist having a suitable particle diameter from among the oil mist and discharging it under centrifugal force produced inside thereof. It is thus possible to separate the oil mist into smaller and larger mist particles under centrifugal force and stably supply oil mist that is small and uniform in particle diameter.
