○ Use only clean components and prefilled
lubrication lines.
○ The main lubricant line should be ar-
ranged ascending and be ventable at the
highest point. Lubrication piping should
always be arranged so that air inclusions
cannot form anywhere.
○ Install lubricant metering devices at the
end of the main lubricant line such that
the outlets of the lubricant metering de-
vices point upwards.
○ If the system configuration requires that
the lubricant metering devices be ar-
ranged below the main lubricant line,
they should not be placed at the end of
the main lubricant line.
○ The flow of lubricant should not be
impeded by the incorporation of sharp
bends, angle valves, flap valves, seals
protruding inward, or
Connect the lubricant piping in such
a way that no forces are trans-
ferred to the product (stress-free
connection).
All components of the centralized lubrication
system must be designed for:
○ The maximum pressure that occurs
○ The permissible temperature range
○ The delivery volume and the lubricant to
be fed
Secure the centralized lubrication
system against excessive pressure
using an appropriate pressure regu-
lating valve.
Observe the following assembly information
for safe and trouble-free operation.
○ changes in cross-section. Unavoidable
changes in the cross-section in lubrica-
tion piping must have smooth transitions.
○ Use only grounded steel pipelines.
○ For higher operating pressures up to 250
bar, SKF compression fittings conforming
to DIN 2353 can be used. If using fittings
from other manufacturers, pay careful
attention to the assembly instructions
and technical specifications provided by
the manufacturer.
