The MEMOLUB® 24VDC-PLC model lubricator is 
especially designed for PLC-controlled machinery (or 
mobile equipment) where a 24VDC power supply is 
available.  It is ideal for lubricating a wide variety of 
robots, conveyors, and OEM applications.  The 
MEMOLUB® 24VDC-PLC can be direct-mounted for 
single-point applications, or remote-mounted using pipe 
or flexible tubing.  In addition, lubrication from 2 to 12 
lube points is possible with a MEMOLUB® Multi-Point 
Lubrication System.

PLC-Controlled Lubrication 

The MEMOLUB® 24VDC-PLC lubricator has a unique design utilizing a Power-Through Memo which 
contains the electrical connections needed to power the unit.  This gives the user the ability to quickly 
remove the lubricator for fast lubricant cartridge change-out while avoiding contact with the electrical 
connections. A 5-foot extension cable on the Power-Through Memo is connected to a PLC-controlled 
power supply.  The PLC program controls the frequency of lubrication output cycles, which may be based 
upon elapsed clock hours, machine cycles, a count of parts produced, or other desired criteria.  Further 
control is provided by adjusting the volume of lubricant ejected on each cycle.  A set of 8 special stroke-
limiting washers are supplied with each lubricator.  When the Power-Through Memo is used without 
washers (yielding full piston stroke), the output volume at each stroke is 0.635cc.  For each washer             

The MEMOLUB 24VDC-PLC is available in three sizes: the Standard (Model 120), the Mega (Model 240), 
and the Giga (Model 480).  Like the HPS model, it is reusable with available replacement lube cartridges.  
These cartridges are carefully filled at the factory using a precise centrifuging process that eliminates air 
pockets and contamination.  Cartridge change-out normally takes less than 60 seconds!  MEMOLUB® is a  
valuable alternative to time-consuming and costly manual lubrication.

The Power-Through Memo

0 = 0.63cc/stroke
1 = 0.59cc/stroke
2 = 0.55cc/stroke

6 = 0.39cc/stroke
7 = 0.35cc/stroke
8 = 0.31cc/stroke

3 = 0.51cc/stroke
4 = 0.47cc/stroke 
5 = 0.43cc/stroke

(including the "C"-shaped lock washer) inserted into the 
brass adapter of the Power-Through Memo, the output 
volume is decreased by 0.04cc per stroke.

(

Note: The lock washer should always be inserted last to hold the others in place.)
