The right lubricant, in the right quantity, at the right time, to the right lubrication point
Centralized automatic lubrication systems are an effective way to increase machine availability while reducing reliance on scarce talent. These systems provide the appropriate lubrication quantity at the correct intervals, minimizing friction and wear and optimizing bearing and machinery service life.
Designed to lubricate individual machines or complete plants, automatic lubrication systems provide proper, precise lubricant replenishment to all required points, enabling a range of benefits in the process.
For small- to medium-sized machines that require continuous lubrication Progressive systems provide continuous lubrication as long as the pump is in operation. Once the pump stops, the pistons of the progressive metering device will stop in their current positions. When the pump starts supplying lubricant again, the pistons will carry on where they left. Therefore, the progressive circuit of one outlet of the pump will stop when only one lubrication point is blocked. The blockage serves as a means of control and forces personnel to service the system.
Only one outlet of a primary or a secondary metering device of one pump outlet can be monitored visually or electrically, depending on the chosen metering device.
For small-to-medium line length and almost all lubricants Regardless of the application, the principle of single-line lubrication remains the same: a central pump station automatically delivers lubricant through a single supply line to the lubricant metering device. Each metering device serves only one lubrication point and may be adjusted to deliver the precise amount of grease or oil required.
Systems can service one machine, different zones on one machine or even several separate machines.
For use on large machinery, effective in harsh conditions Dual-line systems dispense a precise, metered amount of lubricant to up to 2 000 lubrication points over long distances up to 120 m (131 yd) and more. Even if one pair of outlets becomes blocked inside one metering device, dual-line systems provide sufficient lubrication for the rest of the system’s lubrication points. Lubricant volume can be metered individually for each pair of outlets and can be monitored visually or electrically.
