6.8 Connecting the lubricant line
IMPORTANT
Outlets of a progressive metering device
that are not needed must not be closed
because this will cause the metering device
to block.
Consolidate unneeded outlets with a
neighboring outlet or connect them to the
pump via the return line.
CAUTION
Exercise caution when handling
lubricants; immediately bind and
remove any leaked lubricants.
The customer must take appropriate
precautions to ensure that no con-
tamination enters the lubricant and
thus the metering device.
○ The main lubricant line should be ar-
ranged ascending and be ventable at the
highest point. Lubrication lines should
always be arranged so that air pockets
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 changes in cross-
section. Unavoidable changes in the
cross-section in lubrication lines must
have smooth transitions.
Connect the lubricant lines in such a
way that no forces are transferred 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.
○ Use only clean components and prefilled
lubrication lines.
