CENTRALISED LUBRICATION SYSTEMS

Even though centralised lubrications systems, which are available on the market, differ from one another in terms of application and construction, every system is based on the same kind of setting: A central storage container saves the needed number of lubricants. As key element of the centralised lubrication plant, a pump is used, which transports the lubrications out of the storage, using a transportation- or pumping element. Now the plant's control system distributes the measured amount of lubricant (either using a progressive plunger metering device or a different kind of distributor) through a pipe system to the particular bearings... Lubricating oil are used very frequently, but they need a centralised lubrication unit, which can deliver oils in different viscosity ranges. Viscosity means that oil flows differently when temperature changes. Almost every oil is thin fluid when it's warm but more viscous when they cool down, which means that they are more semifluid.
