Otis elevator oil boxes, also known as oil cups or guide rail lubricators, are designed to store and distribute lubricant within elevator guide rail systems. Working alongside oil box felts, they help transfer lubricant to the guide rail as the elevator car and counterweight travel. These products support guide rail lubrication arrangements in selected elevator systems.
Otis elevator oil boxes are offered in a variety of designs and configurations for guide rail lubrication applications. The range includes square, round and OEM-referenced variants suitable for selected elevator car and counterweight systems.
Note: OTOC01, OTOC02 and OTOC03 are internal product reference codes used for identification and product selection purposes.
Otis elevator oil box felts are installed within oil box arrangements and help retain and transfer lubricant to guide rail surfaces. Available in different sizes, they are suitable for selected guide rail lubrication systems.

1. Why are oil box felts used within elevator lubrication systems?
Oil box felts are commonly used within oil box arrangements to retain and transfer lubricant as part of the guide rail lubrication process.
2. Why do guide rail lubrication systems use both an oil box and a felt?
Guide rail lubrication systems use both an oil box and a felt because each performs a different function. The oil box stores lubricant, while the felt helps retain and transfer lubricant to the guide rail.
3. Can oil box felts be replaced without replacing the oil box?
Oil box felts and oil boxes are supplied as separate products and may be selected or replaced according to application and maintenance requirements.
4. Why do guide rail lubrication systems use both an oil box and a felt?
Oil boxes and oil box felts perform different functions within the lubrication arrangement. The oil box acts as the lubricant reservoir, while the felt helps retain and transfer lubricant to the guide rail.
