3.2 Construction
The VE1B unit is a compact lubrication sys-
tem with all functions joined on a common
ground plate.
Figure 1 (

page 16
) shows two VE1B
units with the different functions.
A VE1B unit has from 1 to 4 micropumps.
Different types of micropump are available
according to the flow range (small flow up to
30 mm3/stroke and large flow from 30 to 90
mm3/stroke), the delivery rate setting mode
(with metering rings or with thumb wheel)
and the material (stainless steel and brass or
stainless steel).
To every micropump corresponds on the
opposite side of the ground plate a coaxial
outlet - air and lubricant - fitted with quick
connectors for the connection of the lubrica-
tion lines. The quick-release connector for
the capillary tube (lubricant) is located be-
neath the quick-release connector for the
outer tube (air). The user can set the carrier
air pressure with a pressure regulator. The
unit can be connected to the user’s com-
pressed air network via a G 1/4 port. Another
port, G 1/4, is on the opposite side for the
connection to a separate reservoir. Never-
theless the VE1B unit can have an integrated
transparent reservoir with a capacity of 0.3 l.
The VE1B unit might have a pneumatic
pulse generator or a pneumatic solenoid
valve for the actuation and the working fre-
quency adjustment of the micropump(s).
The unit can be fixed on the machine
frame with a standard fixation rail and clips.
It can also be equipped with magnets, which
enhance its availability.
