Unique Design Powers Lubricator System
SKF says its Hydraulic Driven Lubricator
offers an innovative solution for lubricating off-highway equipment attachments,
using an integrated pump driven by the
hydraulic oil itself. The technology,
according to the company, has been optimized to perform in the toughest operating environments and reduces the need
for manual relubrication. The hydraulically driven lubricator incorporates a
patented pump design; the pump's drive
is provided by its drive piston, which is
pressurized on an alternating basis by the
machine's hydraulic circuit via a
hydraulic changeover valve. The piston
performs either in a suction or delivery
phase as long as the machine and/or
attachment is in operation. The unit,
according to SKF, is easy to install by fitting it directly on the attachment. The
company also notes it has been engineered to perform ideally with chisel
paste, which is typically recommended
for rugged equipment exposed to harsh
environments. Users can quickly change
the lubricant cartridge when necessary.
