sistency significantly in the course of time or
under the influence of temperature or
pressure.
General Safety Instructions
The progressive centralized lubrication system connected
to the Quicklub pump model 203 must always be secured
with a pressure relief valve.
Lincoln SSV, SSV-E and SSV M lubricant metering devices
are state of the art.
Incorrect use may result in bearing damage caused by
poor or over-lubrication.
Each outlet which will be used must be equipped with a
check valve.
In the case of the metering devices model SSV 6 to 12 or
SSV6-E to 12-E and SSVM 6 to 12 the outlets 1 and/or 2
must never be closed.
Unauthorized modifications or changes to an installed
system are not admissible. Any modification must be
subject to prior consultation with the manufacturer of the
lubrication system.
Use only original Lincoln spare parts (see Parts Catalogue)
or the parts approved by
Installation
Install the metering devices at a suitable location in ac-
cordance with the lubrication diagram.
It is recommended that the metering devices be installed in
such a way that the outlets are not close to the chassis or
the attaching plate. This will facilitate troubleshooting in the
case the system is blocked.
The main metering devices with indicator pin must be
installed in such a way that the indicator pin is easily visible.
When the push-in type fittings are used, note the follow-
ing:
For the metering device inlet use only push-in type
fittings (R 1/8) with reinforced collar and sealing ring.
For the outlet tube fittings of the SSV divider valve
(M 10x1) depending on the design of the lubricant line, for
example
- high-pressure plastic hose (Ø 4.1 x 2.3) use valve bodies
with reinforced collar only, or,
- pressure plastic tube (Ø 6 x 1.5) use valve bodies with
knurled collar only
For the outlet fittings of the SSV M divider divider valve
(M 8x1) pressure plastic tube (Ø 4 x 1) use valve bodies
with knurled collar only.
6001a02
NOTE

Fig. 9 Metering device type SSV 8
Progressive plunger metering devices - general
The progressive metering devices
- are piston-operated metering devices;
- automatically (progressively) dispense the lubricant fed
by the pump to the connected lubrication points;
- model SSV or SSV-E have a lubricant output of 0.2
ccm per outlet and piston stroke;
- model SSV M have a lubricant output of 0.07 ccm
per outlet and piston stroke;
- when one or more outlets are closed (see ”Combining
outlets”) they can dispense a double or multiple lubri-
cant quantity;
- are available with 6 to 12 outlets or up to 22 outlets;
- offer the option of combining several lubrication points
into one centralized lubrication point.
- meter the supplied lubricant into predetermined single
quantities.
- can be monitored visually (SSV, SSV-E and SSV M) or
electronically (SSV and SSV-E).
- in the SSV-E version include an emergency lubrication
fitting.
Any blockage in a lubrication circuit is indicated by grease
leaking from the respective pressure relief valve.
10002710
Fig. 10 SSV 8 with piston detector
Features of a Progressive Metering Device
The term ”progressive” refers to the special features of
the lubricant distribution within the metering devices,
e.g.
- the successive movements of the individual pistons
within the metering device due to the supplied lubricant
being under pressure;
- the pistons move in a predetermined order and the cy-
cles are repeated constantly;
- each piston must have completed its movement fully
before the next piston can be moved, no matter whether
the lubricant is dispensed continuously or intermittently;
- the pistons operate interdependently of one another;
- no lubrication point, which is connected to the system,
is omitted.

Lubricant distribution inside the metering device
The 5 following illustrations show the piston movements and
the depending lubricant distribution to the individual outlets.
6001a02
NOTE
Illustrations fig. 17 to 21 show the se-
quence of delivery only of outlets 2, 7, 5, 3
and 1. Delivery of the residual outlets 8, 6
and 4 is derived from the logical pumping
until the complete metering device cycle
has finished. The functional principle of
SSV is identical with SSV M metering
devices.
When the lubricant supply is interrupted
- The pistons come to a halt;
- Lubricant is no longer dispensed to the lubrication point.
When the lubricant is supplied to the metering device again,
the cycle begins from the point where it had been interrupted.

Monitoring of the Operation
1064b95
Fig. 22 Example of a lubrication system
System-dependent monitoring
The main metering device B (fig. 22) and the secondary
metering devices are connected by a high-pressure
hose G. This feature automatically causes the linkage of
the progressive system connected downstream of the
pump.
If only one piston does not move in any metering device
or if the metering device can no longer dispense any lub-
ricant via its outlets, this metering device will block itself.
If one of the secondary metering devices is blocked, the
main metering device is also blocked. The whole progres-
sive system installed downstream of the pump stops op-
erating.
The fundamental internal structure of the progressive
metering device guarantees the self-monitoring of the se-
quence within the metering device.
The linkage makes it possible to monitor the operation of
the whole system.

Fig. 24 Piston detector installed on the metering device
Electrical monitoring (microprocessor control)
A piston detector (initiator), which has been installed on
a metering device instead of a piston closure plug
(M 11 x 1), monitors the pump operating time and brings
it to a close after all the pistons of this metering device
have dispensed their lubricant quantity.
If there is a blockage in the system or if the pump reser-
voir is empty, the piston detector can no longer record the
piston movements. The switching off signal is not trans-
mitted to the control unit. A fault signal occurs.
6001a02
NOTE
For the system monitoring it is recom-
mended that one SSV-N metering device
with pre-assembled piston detector be
used per lubrication circuit. These special
metering devices must be ordered sepa-
rately for each lubrication system. Refer to
the Parts Catalogue.
The pre-assembled metering devices have the designa-
tion SSV ... - N (they are available for SSV 6, 8, 10
and 12). They must be installed in the system instead of a
normal metering device.

Pressure relief valve
The whole system can be monitored visually via the pres-
sure relief valve. If lubricant is leaking at the pressure re-
lief valve during the distribution sequence, this indicates
that there is a blockage in the system.

IMPORTANT
In the case of the progressive metering
devices models SSV6 to 22 and SSV6-E
to 22-E outlets 1 and/or 2 must never be
closed, otherwise the system will block
owing to the structure of the metering
device.

Single lubricant output
- The simple lubricant output is the lubricant quantity dis-
pensed by a piston per stroke and per outlet borehole to
one lubrication point. It amounts to 0.2 cm³ on SSV
and 0.07 cm³ on SSV M.
Double or multiple lubricant output
If one or more lubrication points require a double or a
multiple lubricant amount, this can be performed by clos-
ing one or more outlets.
As shown in fig. 29, outlet borehole 10 has been closed.
The lubricant quantity supplied by this outlet flows out of
the metering device via outlet 8.
Total quantity at outlet 8:
- is the quantity of outlet 8
- plus the lubricant quantity of outlet 10.
If a triple quantity is needed (at outlet 1), close the outlet
borehole located above the discharge borehole. Refer to
outlets 3 and 5 on fig. 29.

Fault: Blockage in the downstream progressive system
Cause: Correction:
Bearing, lines or metering device clogged. Find out which is the cause of the blockage and rectify it in
accordance with he following example:
In the case of the metering devices SSV 6 to 22 and
SSV6-E to 22-E the outlet boreholes 1 and/or 2 are closed.
The fault can be identified by:
a) grease leaking at the pressure relief valve;
b) the fact that the indicator pins installed on the metering
devices (if any) no longer move;
c) the fault signal of the signal lamp (if any) or LED display

A
llow pump to run (see ”To trigger an additional lubrication
cycle”).
Loosen all high pressure hose connections G one after the
other from the main metering device B (fig. 30) leading to
the secondary metering devices. If f. ex. grease or oil
emerges under pressure from outlet 1 of main metering
device B, the blockage will be found in the lubrication cir-
cuit of the secondary metering device D.
6001a02
NOTE
If there is a blockage in the downstream
system, the main lines are under pressure.
In such a case, it is difficult to detach the
push-in type connecting parts of the main
line. Relieve the system by removing the
closure plug on the push-in type pressure
relief valve or, if any, by removing the fillin
g
nipple.
1064b95
Let the pump run.
Disconnect all lubricant feed lines E from secondary me-
tering device D one after the other. If f. ex. grease or oil
emerges under pressure from outlet 3 of metering device
D, the blockage will be found in the line of outlet 3 or in the
connected bearing.
Pump the blocked bearing or line through by means of a
manual pump.
6001a02
NOTE
When checking the individual outlets, keep
each outlet loosened for quite a while
because per each motor revolution there is
only one piston stroke. A complete cycle of
all metering devices requires several
strokes.
