6.9 Lubrication line connection
CAUTION
Risk of falling
Exercise care when dealing with
lubricants. Immediately absorb and
remove and leaked lubricant.
Connect lubrication lines in
such way that no forces are
transferred to the product
(tension-free connection).
All components of the centralized lubrica-
tion system must be laid out for:
○
the maximum arising pressure
○
the admissible temperature range
○
the output volume and the lubricant to be
supplied.
Protect the centralized lubrica-
tion system against too high
pressure by means of a suit-
able pressure relief valve.
Observe the following installation instruc-
tions for safe and smooth operation.
○
Use clean components and primed lubri-
cation lines only.
○
The main lubrication line should be laid
preferably rising with a possibility to vent
it at its highest point. Lubrication lines
shall generally be laid in such way that
there can never be created air pockets at
any point.
○
Mount the lubricant metering devices
at the end of the main lubrication line in
such way that the outlets of the lubricant
metering devices show upwards.
○
If lubricant metering devices have to be
mounted below the main lubrication line,
then this should not be done at the end of
the main lubrication line.
○
The lubricant flow should not be impeded
by the installation of sharp elbows, angle
valves, gaskets protruding to the inside,
or cross-section changes (big to small).
Provide unavoidable changes of the cross
sections in the lubrication lines with as
smooth transitions as possible.
○
Use grounded steel tube lines only.
