Single-line Lubrication Systems

Suitable for small-to-medium line lengths and compatible with nearly all lubricants, single-line lubrication operates on a simple yet effective principle. A central pump station automatically delivers lubricant through a single supply line to metering devices. Each metering device is dedicated to one lubrication point and can be adjusted to dispense the exact amount of grease or oil required.

These systems are versatile, capable of servicing a single machine, distinct zones on one machine, or even multiple separate machines.

Benefits
  • Easy to understand, install and maintain
  • Suitable for almost all lubricants
  • Reliable
  • Easy system expansion
  • System continues to operate if one point becomes blocked
  • Able to pump long distances and within a wide temperature range
  • Greater workers’ safety 

Applications

  • Machine tools
  • Automation
  • Printing machines
  • On/Off-road machines
  • Construction and forestry machines
  • Cement industry
  • Food and beverage
  • Railroad applications
  • Steel industry

 

All the single-line metering devices work nearly in parallel. Two working principles can be used:

Pre-lubrication metering devices:

A pump feeds the lubricant through the main line to the lubricant metering device. These discharge a prestored amount of lubricant to the lube points as a result of the pump’s pressure. The main line is then relieved of pressure so that the metered lubricant can be shifted to the accumulator inside the device. It is then delivered in the next lube cycle.

Re-lubrication metering devices:

During the lube cycle the lubricant is fed into the accumulator chambers of the lubricant metering devices, this quantity being discharged only after the main line has been relieved of pressure (relubrication effect). The metered quantities of both types of metering devices can be easily changed by replacement of their metering nipples.
