Fastening material to be provided by the
customer:
○ Hexagon head screws (3x) according to
EN ISO 4017, M6x40-8.8
• Drill assembly holes (M6) acc. to the as-
sembly drawing and the conditions on the
surface.
• Clean surface to remove drilling chips.
• Place the progressive metering device on
the surface and roughly align it.
• Pass hexagon head screws (3x) accord-
ing to EN ISO 4017, M6x40-8.8 through
fixing holes on the progressive metering
device and apply the screws to the M6
threads of the surface.
• Gently tighten hexagon head bolts (3x).
• Align the progressive metering device
and tighten the hexagon socket head cap
screws diagonally with a torque of 9 Nm.
If necessary:
Tighten the inlet port screws
• Apply inlet port screws to the threads of
the inlet bores and tighten with the pre-
scribed torque (Chapter 6.5.2).
Tighten the outlet port screws.
• Apply outlet port screws or SKF quick
disconnect couplings to the threads of

6.5.7 Assembly of the VPB progressive metering device
IMPORTANT
In case of installation on moving machine
parts or in case of strong vibrations (e.g.,
on pressing machines), self-locking screws
or a locking adhesive should be used for
installation of the metering device.
• Check the parallelism of the surface on
which the component is to be installed.
Stress-free installation of the component
must be ensured.
• Check for any fouling on the threaded
holes for metering device installation and
on the surface on which the component is
to be installed, and clean if needed.
The progressive metering device is installed
using 3x M6 screws. If M6 tapped bores are
used to fasten the unit, the screws must
have a minimum length of 40 mm.
