6. Assembly
IMPORTANT NOTE
The progressive metering device section
behind the inlet section must not be
closed.
Always ensure that plug 917-006-101
has been removed before screwing in plug
screw 466-431-001; otherwise, the pro-
gressive metering device may jam.
Twin sections of a progressive metering de-
vice have a plug for crossporting.
The volumetric flow of an outlet can be
consolidated with other outlets as desired by
removing the corresponding plug.
This way, two or more outlets of an entire
progressive metering device side can be
combined as long as there is no single sec-
tion in-between. The single section com-
pletes the group formation; a new group can
only be formed behind the single section.
Should it later be necessary to separate the
quantity of two neighboring outlets, for ex-
ample due to an additional lubrication point,
then this can be done without difficulty. The
plug 917-006-101 merely needs to be
screwed back in and the previously closed
outlet connected to the lubrication point.
Crossportings are typically necessary when:
• If individual sections on progressive me-
tering devices of series VPKM need to
be replaced with sections with different
metering;
• A progressive metering device is to be
supplemented with additional sections;
• A progressive metering device is to be
cleaned/repaired, then they must be dis-
assembled and later consolidated again.
When increasing/reducing the number of
sections, the two tie-rods (stud bolts) that
hold the sections and plates together must
always be replaced.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Two neighboring outlets are consolidated
from the end section towards the inlet
section.
