HPS
1.1 Overview
The MEMOLUB
®
HPS is an automatic, self-contained, electro-mechanical lubricator.
The "HPS" in its name stands for High Pressure System. It ejects grease or oil under
programmable control at an output pressure of 350psi. There are three available models:
Cartridge Capacity
Model 120 (Standard)
120cc 1⁄4 pound
Model 240 (Mega)
240cc 1⁄2 pound
Model 480 (Giga)
480cc 1 pound
The MEMOLUB
®
HPS is a highly versatile device of robust design that can be used to
satisfy a variety of application requirements. Its value and reliability have been proven
through years of use by hundreds of companies in thousands of applications.
•
The MEMOLUB
®
is a single-point lubricator that can be mounted directly on the
bearing point, slide, gear, or other object requiring lubrication.
•
The MEMOLUB
®
can be mounted remotely for safety, ease of service, or
avoidance of hostile environments.
•
A single MEMOLUB
®
HPS becomes a 2-point lubricator when used with the
Splitter-MEMO.
•
The MEMOLUB
®
can be used as a miniature, low-cost, central lubrication system
to lubricate from 2 to 12 bearings, using a distribution block.
The MEMOLUB
®
is easily and quickly programmed to eject lubricant at the desired rate
of output and operates as a self-contained lubricator using a battery pack for its source of
power. The EPC (External Power Control) and EPS (External Power Source) versions
expand the application potential of the MEMOLUB
®
. These versions can be turned on
and off by the machine on which they are being used. This is a valuable feature when
lubrication is required on intermittently or infrequently used equipment. The EPC version
of the MEMOLUB
®
is battery-powered. The EPS version is powered by an external
source through a power converter.
Under control of a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) the MEMOLUB
®
EPC or
MEMOLUB
®
EPS can be used to lubricate equipment based upon runtime hours,
machine cycles, time of day, or other criteria:
The basic MEMOLUB
®
HPS is composed of three parts:
•
The MEMO, which is used to program the rate of lubricant output.
•
The MEMOLUB
®
, consisting of a red motor housing and a transparent dome with
spring and locking ring.
