1. Safety instructions
1.3 Intended use
On VP and VPK progressive metering de-
vices, the number of cycles should be kept
as low as possible by selecting high-volume
progressive metering device sections. A
maximum value of 200 cycles/min should
not be exceeded. This also reduces pressure
losses and noise levels.
In case of an installation on moving machine
parts or in case of strong vibrations (e.g., on
pressing machines), the piston position of
the progressive metering device should not
correspond with the direction of movement
of the machine part.
VP, VPK, and VPB progressive metering de-
vices are classified as a component accord-
ing to the VDMA Position Paper “Umsetzung
der Maschinenrichtlinie 2006/42/EG in
Zentralschmiertechnik” (implementation of
the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC in cen-
tralized lubrication systems).
Any other or additional usage of VP, VPK,
or VPB progressive metering devices is
deemed non-compliant with the intended
use and could result in damage, malfunc-
tion, or even injury.
The progressive metering devices are de-
signed for positively driven distribution of
lubricants (oils/greases) in a centralized
lubrication system.
The maximum inlet volumetric flow of the
progressive metering devices is as follows
Series:
VP 1000 cm
3
/min
VPK 500 cm
3
/min
VPB 400 cm
3
/min.
On all series, the maximum permissible op-
erating pressure for oil is 200 bar and 300
bar for grease.
The inlet and outlet fittings and their con-
necting lines must be designed for these
parameters.
The technical requirements for the instal-
lation of the VP, VPK, and VPB progressive
metering devices are set out in Chapter 6.
These requirements must be complied with.
The same applies to the technical data in
Chapter 4.
When designing a progressive metering
device, pay attention to the number of cycles
(strokes).
