2.9 The distribution blocks
2.9.1 Properties
OnePlus distribution blocks distribute the grease to the various grease points and
meter-out the amount of grease that goes to each individual grease point. They do
so in a progressive, sequential way. The progressive distribution blocks in the
greasing system distribute the grease to the grease points, one grease point at a
time, and one grease point after another. Progressive distribution blocks can be
placed in series, in which case an output of a block is used to feed the next block in
line (through a primary grease line).
2.9.2 Composition
A progressive distribution block
comprises the following components:
1. a start-segment
2. an end-segment
3. at least three doser segments
The doser segments to be deliverable
in several versions with several
amounts (quantity of grease which by
cycle it is supplied). By several doser
segments in a distribution block
combine can a certain partitioning of
the grease be obtained.
Figure 2.6 Distribution block.
Each doser segment always has two grease output ports, with identical grease
outputs per cycle. The grease channels between the segments are sealed by O-rings
and the segments are pressed together with two compression bolts.
WARNING:
To be able to operate at all, a distribution block needs to have at least three
doser segments.
