Lubecore highly recommends using a low-level switch / sensor. The low-level switch / sensor
⑬ helps prevent air from entering the automated lubrication system when the reservoir is not
replenished in time. Any lubrication system, independent of brand or operating principle, may
be negatively and severely affected by ingress of air into the distribution side of the system.
Pneumatic Pump
The Lubecore™ pneumatic pump is the heart of the automated lubrication
system (ALS). A clear, impact-resistant reservoir holds between 4 to 6 Kg
of lubricant, protected by a follower plate. The follower plate ensures that
the lubricant remains separated from moisture—preventing a funnel
effect—and provides a clear indication of the level of lubricant.
- Additional pump features:
o Air recirculation: After pressurizing the grease upon the
downstroke of the grease piston, the air pressure is recycled
within the pump and kept at a pressure of 5 psi / 0.3 bar over
atmospheric pressure. This prevents moisture build-up
and other contaminants from entering the pump, and
reduces seizures, corrosion, and premature wear.
o Lubricant low-level switch/sensor: The pneumatic
pump can be equipped with a lubricant level
switch/sensor that is triggered by the follower plate.
This switch alerts the user to re-fill the reservoir to
prevent air pockets from entering the system, causing
system malfunction. When a level switch/sensor is not
installed, bleeding the ALS will be required when
refilling the reservoir of a pump that has been run
empty.
o Anodized and coated material surface treatment: Components within the pump
are treated with an environmentally friendly and corrosion-resistant material. This
treatment prevents premature wear of the components and increases system
durability.
