6.8 Lubrication line connection
NOTE
Connect the lubricant lines in such a way
that no forces are transferred to the prod-
uct (stress-free connection).
CAUTION
Risk of slipping
Exercise caution when handling
lubricants; immediately bind and
remove any leaked lubricants.
CAUTION
Risk of bursting
The fittings used to connect the lu-
brication line should be rated for the
maximum operating pressure of the
lubrication unit. The lubrication line
system needs to be protected from
excessive pressure by means of a
pressure regulating valve.
For operating pressures up to 350 bar as
can occur especially in progressive lubrica-
tion systems, SKF cutting-sleeve screw
unions conforming to DIN 2353 can be
used.
If using fittings from other manufactur-
ers, pay careful attention to the assembly
instructions and technical specifications
provided by the manufacturer.
Secure the centralized lubrication
system against excessive pres-
sure using an appropriate pres-
sure regulating valve.
All components of the centralized lubrication
system must be designed for:
○
The maximum pressure that occurs
○
The permissible temperature range
○
The displacement and the lubricant to
be fed
Observe the following installation instruc-
tions for safe and trouble-free operation.
○
Use only clean components and prefilled
lubrication lines.
○
The main lubricant line should be ar-
ranged ascending and be ventable at the
highest point. Lubrication lines should
always be arranged so that air pockets
cannot form anywhere.
○
Install lubricant feeders at the end of the
main lubricant line such that the outlets
of the lubricant feeders point upwards.
○
If the system configuration requires that
the lubricant feeders be arranged below
the main lubricant line, they should not
