New Product ! single-line Lubrication system

New Product !
Single-line Lubrication system
consisting of:

- Pumps 603S and 653S
- QSL / SL Injectors
- SE1 Suction Elements for Used Lubricant

Equipment that operates in harsh conditions requires regular lubrication to ensure performance. When a bearing or component fails as a result of insufficient lubrication the result is downtime and losses. The single-line 603S and 653S pumps/systems automatically supply the lubrication points with exact me- tered quantities in programmed interval while the equipment is in operation.
As a result, the robust system is ideally suited for wind turbines – even offshore applications – and for off-road mobile equipment such as construction and mining machines and heavy-duty commercial vehi- cles.
In the general industry the system is used to lubricate small to mid-sized stationary machines or ma- chine groups.

Special Features for Wind Turbine Applications – Also for Off-shore Systems

Lincoln single-line systems completely vent during the pause interval. As a result, they are suit- able for fast separating lubricants. For rotating operation in wind turbines the reservoir is eq- uipped with a follower plate and stirring paddle – which also facilitates the usage of fast sepa- rating lubricants.For stationary operation a stirring and fixed paddle is sufficient.

Simple System Design – Easy to Expand

Pump and Accessories – All-in-one

The pump with integrated controller is easy to install. The all-in-one design of the pump includes the programmable controller, a pressure switch/transducer and a vent valve.

Simple System Design - Easy to Expand

The single-line system’s design and layout is uncomplicated, making it easy to install and operate. A single mainline reduces material and installation costs.

Easy to Service

It is quick and easy to exchange out an injector. The mainline or neighboring injectors do not have to be removed. The exchange can be performed between lubrication cycles so that there is no wastage of lubricant or excessive costly downtime.

QSL and SL Injectors

The metal-to-metal fit of the injectors makes them suitable for high pressure. Each injector’s output can be individually set. The injector function is generally visually monitored, but optional electrical monitoring or a GSM controlled system is available.

Visual Monitoring – To Ensure all is Well

Each injector has an indicator pin that moves with the pressure buildup and venting. This facilitates easy trouble-shooting when required by simply observing the indicator pins.

Additional Pressure Switch

An additional pressure switch at the end of larger systems can be used for added pressure control to ensure correct lubrication.

The SE1 suction element was especially developed to extract the used lubricant from single-line sy- stems used in wind turbines. The used lubricant is collected in a separate 10 liter container AFB 10 and can be recycled – or used for example for the lubrication of gear drives. As a result, the prob- lem of used lubricants in bearings is reduced. The lubricant no longer pushes through seals and do- esn’t spoil or pollute the bearing environment. Additionally, a re-usage of the lubricant conserves resources and preserves the environment.
