The MEMOLUB® EPC offers the advantage of providing
automatic lubrication to machines that are infrequently or
intermittently used, avoiding the problems of over lubrication.
The lubrication process can be turned on and off in concert
with the machine being lubricated or manually using a simple
switch.
The MEMOLUB® EPC is battery powered and requires no
external power source. It operates under its own program that
you preset. This controls the frequency of lubrication cycles
and volume of lubricant injected.
The MEMOLUB® EPC can be mounted directly on the bearing
or remote from the bearing using pipe or flexible tubing. It may
MEMOLUB® Automatic Lubrication with External Control
be used as a Multi-Point System lubricating from 2 to 12 lube points and is available in any of the
three MEMOLUB® sizes.
The 12 inch cable that extends from the bottom of the lubricator serves to interrupt the electric
circuit to the drive motor. When the circuit is closed the MEMOLUB® first goes through an output
cycle and then proceeds to operate under its own preset program control. When the circuit is
opened the lubrication process stops.
Control over the lubrication process can be achieved in several ways.
A simple switch can be used to manually turn the lubricator on during machine operation and off
when use is complete.
A relay, that is associated with the main power switch of the machine being lubricated, can be
used. Relay contact must be gold plated. The type of relay is determined by the application. The
distances between the MEMOLUB® EPC and the relay determines the gauge of the wire and the
associated connectors to be used.
PLC control is also an option in closing and opening the circuit. For an output cycle to occur the
PLC must close the circuit for a minimum of 15 seconds and there must be a minimum 60-second
interval between output cycles. The timing of ejection cycles is controlled by the PLC. The white
timing ring must be in place. The volume of lubricant ejected per cycle continues to be controlled
by the MEMO.
