Gear pump units of product series MKU
and MKL are suitable for supplying oil with
a viscosity range from 20 to 1500 mm²/s.
Gear pump units of product series MKF are
for supplying fluid greases of NLGI grades
000 and 00.
The permissible operating temperature ran-
ge is +10 to +40°C on all three series.
The Technical Data in Chapter 4 as well as
