... with solenoid pump and progressive distributor
PrincipleA solenoid operated pump force feeds .25 cm³ oil per stroke into a progressive distributor. Each of the four or more distributor outlets passes the oil in sequence to the lubrication points. The oil is transferred to the chain links by means of applying brushes.
MonitoringA proximity switch assembled to the progressive distributor produces an electric signal per full cycle of the distributor.
The electric monitoring unit ESU supervises whether at least one signal per set time is produced. If there is no signal the unit gives a trouble warning.
The impulse is produced at an orderly function of the centralized lubrication system only. Therefore the trouble warning is given for the following faults:
- Low level of the oil in the tank.
- Faulty function of the solenoid pump or is control box.
- Faulty function of the progressive distributor.
- Rupture or damage of the oil tube between pump and progressive distributor.
