Smart controller simplifies complex lubrication systems
A new addition to SKF’s comprehensive range of lubrication products, the LMC 301 is a programmable controller for applications where sophisticated control of lubricant delivery is required. Designed for use with pumps that have no built-in controller, the LMC 301 combines all critical lubrication system management functions in a single package, simplifying system setup, operation, monitoring and maintenance.
The unit has been designed with modern, precision lubrication applications in mind. For example, systems may require different lubricant types or lubrication cycles on different parts of a machine, lubrication intervals based on time or number of machine cycles, or combinations of normal and heavy lubrication cycles depending on operating conditions.
To accommodate these requirements, the LMC 301 can control up to three pumps and manage three different lubrication zones per pump, allowing users to define up to nine separate lubrication zones on their machine or production line. If required, each pump can control a different lubricant system type.
