way that it cannot be removed.
The hydraulic pressure connection can be established via
either of the two pressure ports on the metal lid (letter P). A
return line can be connected on the return connection (letter R).
The pipe thread size for the pressure port and return
connection is G1/4. On delivery, one of the two pressure ports
and the return connection are closed leak-tight with a plug
screw. The second pressure port is closed with a plastic plug.
Oils or fluid greases can be used as lubricants, depending on
the design of the gear pump unit. For details on the lubricants
that are to be used, consult the documentation or the Chapter
"Technical Data."
Detailed information about the function and the electrical
connection of the gear pump unit is included in Chapter 4 of the
assembly instructions.
The documentation can also be requested directly from SKF
Lubrication Systems Germany GmbH.
3.3 Description of designs
MKU gear pump unit
MKU
Units of product series MKU are suitable for supplying oil with a
viscosity range from 20 to 1500 mm²/s. The units are optionally
equipped with a pressure switch and/or lubricant level switch.
The electrical connection is established via DIN connection plugs
or screwed glands. Units with a reservoir capacity of 2, 3, or 6
liters are optionally available with an integrated control unit.
MKF gear pump unit
MKF
Units of product series MKF are suitable for supplying fluid
greases of NLGI grades 000 and 00. The units are optionally
equipped with a pressure switch and/or lubricant level switch.
The electrical connection is established via DIN connection plugs
or screwed glands. Units with a reservoir capacity of 2, 3, or 6
liters are optionally available with an integrated control unit.
MKL gear pump unit
MKL
Units of product series MKL are designed for oil+air centralized
lubrication systems and supply oil with a viscosity range from
20 to 1500 mm²/s. The units are equipped with a pressure
switch and a lubricant level switch whose signals are evaluated
using an integrated control unit. The control unit also provides
