Lubricators

CONCEPT Automatic Lubricators

Rolling bearings are automatically supplied with the correct quantity of lubricant by lubricators or lubrication systems. The prevents the most frequent cause of rolling bearing failure: Insufficient or incorrect lubrication. Approximately 90% of all bearings are lubricated with grease. Relubrication with the correct quantity of grease at the appropriate intervals provides a significant increase in the operating life of the rolling bearings.

CONCEPT1 Automatic Lubricator

The CONCEPT1 is the most cost-effective starter product for automatic relubrication. It is easy to handle, robust, ATEX-certified, and conforms to protection class IP68. This makes it ideal for a wide range of applications, and it is supplied either pre-filled with Schaeffler’s high-performance ARCANOL grease or as an empty device that can be re-filled multiple times with the customer’s own lubricating grease or oil. This reduces waste, helps protect the environment, and saves maintenance costs.

CONCEPT2 Automatic Lubricator

This lubricator is suitable for minimum-quantity lubrication with grease or oil. It has two lubricant supply line outlets that can be controlled separately. The outlets are fed by piston pumps that carry out one dispensing operation per actuation. This dispensing operation can be triggered by internal impulses (via the integrated timer) or external impulses (via the SPS).

The lubricant cartridges (LC units) are available with a capacity of 250 cm3. An integrated multi-functional interface provides a 24 V DC power supply and I/O communication with external control systems. A battery-powered version of the lubricator (without the multi-functional interface) is also available as an alternative.

CONCEPT4 Automatic Lubricator

This lubricator is suitable for minimum-quantity lubrication with grease. It has four lubricant supply line outlets that can be controlled in separate pairs. The outlets are fed by piston pumps that carry out one dispensing operation per actuation. This dispensing operation can only be triggered by external impulses (via the SPS). The lubricant cartridges (LC units) are available with a capacity of 400 cm3. An integrated multi-functional interface provides a 24 V DC power supply and I/O communication with external control systems. The customer-specific version of the CONCEPT4 offers immense potential for OEM customers. When a minimum batch size is defined for every delivery, significant cost savings (TCO) can be achieved (e.g. with regard to the number/design of the outlets and the cartridge sizes. Firmware, device with grease cartridge inserted, fully de-aerated (plug&play), complete packages with lubricant supply lines cut to length/pre-filled, customer-specific branding, and much more).

CONCEPT8 Automatic Lubricator

This lubricator is suitable for minimum-quantity lubrication with grease or oil. It has a maximum of eight lubricant supply line outlets that can be controlled in separate pairs. The outlets are fed by piston pumps that carry out one dispensing operation per actuation. This dispensing operation can be triggered by internal impulses (via the integrated timer) or external impulses (via the SPS). The lubricant cartridges (LC units) are available with a capacity of 800 cm3. An integrated multi-functional interface provides a 24 V DC power supply and I/O
