A lubricating system that improves the performance of chainsaws and wood. Background: Firewood processors and chainsaws are among many modern-day mechanical systems that improve production in the forestry industry by increasing the speed and ease at which different products can be manufactured. Each of these systems contains numerous components including a motor driven saw blade lubricated by an oil pump to reduce friction and heat. Currently, two types of oil pump are employed to deliver oil to the saw blade, a syringe injection pump and common gasoline fuel injection pump. However, these pumps require frequent maintenance and fail to consistently deliver the optimal flow of oil necessary for maximum machine efficiency. Technology Overview: Researchers at SUNY Canton have invented a technology which couples an alternative type of oil pump with a series of flow controls to consistently deliver optimal oil flow while requiring very little to no maintenance, decreasing machinery down time and operating cost while improving production speed. The system has enough power to pump thick bar oil to the blade to prevent overheating. Further Details:
