The importance of using supports in

the assembly of oil feed pipes
A oil feed pipe without brackers is unprotected from the vibrations of the engine and is much more
prone to breakage. AJUSA recommends correctly installing all fixings to extend the life of the tube.

T
he life of our vehicle depends
directly on the care of all its parts. In
internal combustion engines where
strong explosions are generated
inside the cylinders, it is important to bear in
mind that a high level of vibrations is
produced due to the work cycles.
There are two types of supports, brackets
welded to the tube and non-welded
brackets. Most oil pipes have non-welded
brackets and fixed fasteners welded to the
tube.

These vibrations are partially absorbed in the

engine supports over the vehicle chassis by
the elastomer support insulators, so that
transmission to the rest of the vehicle is
avoided, increasing occupant comfort.
In addition, all the components connected to
the engine suffer these vibrations, the oil
pipe that lubricates the turbocharger.
The supports absorb
vibrations produced by
engine and avoid failures.
1 EXAMPLE OF OIL
FEED PIPE FAILURE
Fatigue rupture in the banjo-pipe junction
area. The brackets avoid fatigue failures as
this picture in the oil feed pipe.
Example of welded fixed fasteners
Sometimes the brackets should be reused, so
it is important to pay attention to the
the disassembled pipe to ensure that all
the fixings provided by the old pipe or supplied
with the new AJUSA pipe are properly
installed.

These tubes have a length of 40-100 cm

between the connectors that fix them to the
turbocharger and the cylinder head / block,
so it is essential to have intermediate
supports to absorb the vibrations
produced by the engine, to avoid fatigue
failures in their rigid ends.
