Injectors
The Lubecore™ Injector is the core component and forms the basis of the principle on which the
operation of the automated lubrication system is based. Lubecore automated lubrication system
injectors operate parallel to each other; all injectors dispense lubricant simultaneously.
The injector “meters” and dispenses the appropriate amount of lubricant to the connected
lubrication point in the Lubecore automated lubrication system or ALS, this occurs under full
pump pressure.
Lubecore has designed corrosion-resistant brass injectors, available in 11 different metering
sizes. Lubecore ALS injectors use a shuttling spool, a plunger, and two springs to accurately
measure the lubricant, creating a highly reliable, and highly accurate injector. The springs are
arranged to allow for high reload pressures which gives exceptional cold weather performance
to the injectors. It is important to note that the injectors deliver grease and then reload at a
pressure of 30bar. If system pressure of 30 bar is not achieved or the system pressure hovers
at or near 30 bar the injectors will not function properly.
In an automated lubrication system, metering units are installed in manifolds that are
strategically placed on the equipment chassis.
Injector Sizes
Injectors are available in 11 different sizes, with varying output volumes.
Selecting the appropriate injector size for each point on the platform to
be greased ensures that each lubrication point is receiving the optimum
amount of grease per lubrication cycle.
Using injectors that vary in output sizes on an ALS can allow tailoring of
the system to the specific needs of the equipment manufactures
requirements for lubrication.
All components within the injector are interchangeable except the
metering volume shim. Therefore, all injectors are the same size.
Injectors are identified by the injector size marked on the injector and
the part number which is also marked on the injector.
