Pressure build
-
up times:
The batteries need a certain time to build up the
pressure. They induce an electro-pneumatic reaction
in the built-in nitrogen chamber and transmit the
pressure to the piston via a bellows. This chamber
has to be replaced at the end of the lubricating time.
.
Simply set the desired operating time and mount it.
The resulting pressure build-up times are then as
follows:
Lubrication starts after the appropriate pressure
build-up. The pressure remains built-up even if the
lubricator is switched off for some time.
Therefore lubrication begins immediately after
switching on the lubricator again because the
pressure remains built-up.
Immediate lubrication and safety check
Set all switches to the "on" position. Pressure build-
up time approx. 6 – 8 hours. Then reset all switches
and set the desired operating time. The signal light
blinks.
Visual control of the pressure build-up by marking the
filling state at the transparent housing. Depending
upon the dosage chosen the piston in the lube
dispenser should move downward from the marking
for more or less time during the pressure build-up.
Important information!
Ambient temperature max. -20°C to max. +50°C.
Avoid electrostatic charging of the lube dispenser
(e.g. due to friction with cloth or strong air currents).

Technical tips:
Extension with hose or tube is possible up to
approx. 1.5 m for grease lubrication and 5 m
with oil lubrication. In this case the lubrication
charts do not apply because the viscosity of the
lubricant and the length of the hose influence
the flow behaviour of the lubricant. Mind the
correction factors on page 3. There is less
resistance in case of oil filling; therefore we
recommend to use a check valve with 0.2 bars.
The lube dispenser lubricates constantly, i.e.
no impulse lubrication.

Note:
The correction factors are based upon experience
values determined by experiments. If required and/or
for specific applications they should be verified and
adapted as necessary.
Example:
A toothed-rack gear unit m=2 with a travelling
speed of v =1,5m/s shall be lubricated with an
electronically controlled lube dispenser via a felt
gearwheel with Klüber Structovis AHD. The
following parameters are to be considered:
- The grease supply from the lube dispenser to
the felt gearwheel runs through a hose which is
600 mm long.
- The lube dispenser shall be synchronised with
the machine.
- Ambient temperature 10°C.
According to the grease dosage diagram for felt-
wheel lubrication (catalogue Servo-drive Systems)
the dosage for this type of drive is approx. 0,35
cm
3
of grease.
The actually needed amount of lubricant, if the
described parameters are considered, can be
calculated as follows:
0,35 x 1,16 x 1,25 x 1,5 = 0,76 cm

In the chart „setting combinations for lube
dispensers“ the lubricant quantity of 0,7 cm

,
corresponds to the DIP-switch position 4 .
