Centralised lubrication offers improved control
A new dosage and pressure boosting pump offers a simpler, more controllable way to deliver high precision lubrication in demanding production environments. The Lincoln electrically driven lubricator EDL1 from SKF is a robust, self-contained lubricant dispensing system that can inject grease at a pressure of up to 280bar (4,060psi) to the connected lubrication system or lubrication point.
The device incorporates an electrically driven piston pump with an integrated control board that manages the lubrication cycle based on pre-set time intervals or via signals generated by an external sensor or control system. Up to three EDL1 units can also be managed using SKF’s new dedicated LMC301 controller. Local control of lubricant delivery is particularly useful in applications where lubricant requirements or operating cycles differ significantly in different parts of a plant.
