2.2 Method of operation
During each cycle, an electric motor in the lubricator pre-loads a piston. The piston draws
grease into a cylinder. The piston is released at the end of each cycle and pushes the
grease from the cylinder into the eight channels of the outlet block. The piston dispenses
the same quantity of grease through each channel.
The electric motor is controlled by a microprocessor. The microprocessor controls the
dispense modes and detects blocked lubrication tubes and empty grease cartridges.
2.3 Grease supply
A standard SKF grease cartridge supplies grease to the lubricator. An empty SKF grease
cartridge can be reilled through the grease illing nipple.
