Monitoring devices for lubrication systems
Various devices that generate an optical or electrical signal can be used for this purpose. These signals are evaluated by the electronic control and monitoring devices and forwarded to the machine control system or the operator.
Monitoring of values:
- Fill level in lubricant containers
- Pressure in the piping systems of the central lubrication system
- Flow (qualitative) in pipelines
- Volume (quantitative) in pipelines
- Oil-air mixtures in pipelines
- Contamination in filters
- Movement of display elements
- Temperature in the lubricant container and in the bearings
- Moisture in lubricants
- Induction lubrication systems
- Dual-line lubrication systems
- Progressive lubrication systems
- Multi-line lubrication systems
- Small oil circulation systems
- Oil-air lubrication systems
- Minimum quantity lubrication systems
