Components: Central Lubrication Parts at a Glance
Find the right components for reliable central lubrication here: control units, directional valves, filters, flow meters, level switches, pressure gauges and pressure switches, complemented by pump elements, reservoirs, lubricators, lubrication pinions, electrical accessories, spare motors, and industrial parts washers. All components are designed for precise dosing, easy integration into PLCs/controllers, and high availability. This lets you build new systems, retrofit existing equipment, and measurably reduce maintenance effort.
Control units
Control units program lubrication cycles by time, pulse, or load. They offer diagnostics, interfaces (e.g., digital I/O), and improve repeatability: the basis for stable processes.
Directional valves
Directional valves route and switch lubricant flows. Segments can be supplied or isolated as needed, for maintenance, zone changes, or safety functions.
Electrical accessories
From cable sets and connectors to relays and power supplies: electrical accessories ensure clean, standards-compliant integration of components into machine controllers and simplify retrofits.
Filters
Filters retain particles in oil and grease. They protect pumps, distributors, and metering elements, extend system life, and reduce maintenance.
Flow meters
Flow meters monitor delivery rates in real time. Ideal for documenting the supply to critical lubrication points and detecting deviations early.
Level switches
Level switches signal min/max levels in the reservoir. This prevents dry running, enables planned refills, and secures continuous operation.
Lubrication pinions
Lubrication pinions apply lubricant evenly to open gears or chains during operation. The result: a uniform film, less wear, longer service life.
Lubricators
Self-contained single- or multi-point lubricators supply individual bearings independently of the central system, particularly suitable for retrofits or remote points.
Pressure gauges
Pressure gauges make system pressures visible. Trends and deviations provide early indications of leaks, blockages, or air in the system.
Pressure switches
Pressure switches trip at defined thresholds and issue alarms or interlocks. Process reliability is maintained even in the event of faults.
Pump elements
Replacement and expansion modules for pumps. Pump elements allow you to adapt output and dosing to new or changing requirements.
Reservoirs
Reservoirs store oil or grease. Material and volume are selected for the application. Sight glasses and connection options simplify inspection and installation.
Spare motors
Spare motors keep drives available. They minimize downtime in case of failure and enable performance upgrades when needed.
Industrial washing machines
Cleaning components before assembly and service prevents foreign particles from entering the system. Clean parts mean fewer disruptions and longer service life.
Functions & properties: what matters
Components must match the medium (oil/grease), viscosity, and operating temperatures. Key criteria include pressure and flow ranges as well as the measurement and switching accuracy of sensors. Material selection (steel, stainless steel, brass, engineering plastics) protects against corrosion and vibration. Watch for standard connections (metric, UNF/SAE) and compatibility with existing peripherals. Maintenance-friendly features such as sight glasses, plug-in systems, and modular designs reduce service time.
Typical applications
These components are used in general mechanical and plant engineering, conveying and packaging technology, recycling, energy, as well as construction and agricultural machinery. They are suitable for new installations and for retrofitting existing machines. In maintenance, they support condition monitoring concepts by capturing, documenting, and feeding status back to the controller.
Benefits at a glance
• Precise dosing and consistent lubricant films
• Higher equipment availability, fewer unplanned stops
• Scalable and modular expansion
• Simple PLC integration via standardized I/O
• Process and quality assurance through monitoring
• Fast availability of spare and upgrade parts
• Lower lubricant consumption through controlled delivery
Selection & consulting: how to decide
Start with the machine’s operating conditions: number and type of lubrication points, line lengths, ambient conditions (temperature, humidity, dust). Define delivery rate, pressure ranges, and necessary measurement or switching points. Check the required control interfaces, especially for control units, pressure switches, and flow meters. Consider industry-specific requirements, such as stainless steel in hygienic environments. Plan a spare-parts strategy: pump elements, filters, spare motors, and level switches are typical wear or service items. Use datasheets and exploded drawings to verify compatibility and realistically plan installation time.
Installation & maintenance notes
Cleanliness is critical; otherwise contaminants enter lines and metering devices. Observe tightening torques, perform leak tests, and align sensors correctly. Replace filters at the specified intervals, regularly check gauge readings and pressure-switch setpoints. Document lubrication cycles, pressure profiles, and flow rates as evidence for quality assurance and audits.
