4.2 Function
4.2.1 Functional description
The lubrication system serves to automatically lubricate Güdel components.
The FlexxPump4 feeds the lubricant from the lubricant cartridge into the lu-
brication lines. Depending on the design, the lubricant is distributed through
splitters, combined through Y-segments, or distributed directly to the lubrica-
tion areas. Rack and pinion are lubricated by the lubricating pinion The rail is
lubricated by the lubricating element
The FlexxPump4 outputs a signal in case of overpressure, if the lubricant car-
tridge is empty, and for each piston stroke. This makes it possible to process
such information further.
4.2.2 FlexxPump
A PLC (not included in the scope of delivery) feeds and controls the product.
All signals are transmitted to the PLC.
4.2.3 Splitter
The quantity of lubricant at the input is distributed evenly between the out-
puts. The splitter only works in the direction of the arrow.
