10.4.8 Progressive lubricant distributor, type SSV
Fig. 17 - Progressive lubricant distributor with 6, 8, 10 and 12 outputs
What is a progressive lubricant distributor
The word "progressive" comes from the special way this type of lubricant distributor works,
e.g. it is the lubricant that is pressurised and then drives the pistons inside the distributor.
The pistons move in a predetermined manner and this pattern of movement is repeated
over and over again. Each piston must complete its movement before the next piston can
move, regardless of whether the flow of lubricant is constant or irregular. The pistons are
dependent on one another and it is technically impossible for a connected lubrication point
to be skipped.
Progressive lubricant distributor, type SSV
n Have pistons as the only moving part, i.e. no springs, balls or gaskets that can break
n Reliably distributes lubricant to the connected lubrication points
n Gives 0.2 cm
3
lubricant per output and piston stroke
n Can be plugged to obtain double, triple, etc. the amount per output (see "Plugging the
outlet")
n Can have 6 to 22 outputs
n Makes it possible to connect several lubrication points to one lubrication area.
Flow in the distributor
n The following 5 illustrations show what happens inside the distributor step by step.

NOTE: For purposes of simplification, lubricant distribution to outputs 2, 7, 5, 3 and 1
are shown. The other outputs receive their amounts in order, but are not shown here.
Step 1
n Lubricant enters the distributor and then follows the direction of the arrow to the right-
hand end of piston A
n The pressure of the lubricant presses piston A to the left. The lubricant in front of the
left-hand end of the piston is pressed out through output 2.
