Lubricus - the adaptive and compact lubrication system
Flexible lubrication The Lubricus lubrication system can supply up to 16 lubricating points - either autonomously in battery mode or via an external power supply.

Flexible lubrication The Lubricus lubrication system is an extremely compact lubrication unit for oils and greases up to NLGI class 3. The lubrication system works either autonomously with a battery back (3.6V) or using an external voltage supply (24VDC). Dependent on the version, the Lubricus has up to four outlets and is thus optimally suited for uses with multiple lubricating points. The Lubricus is suitable for the simple and reliable supply of lubrication to bearings, linear guides, chains and open tooth systems, for which special lubricating pinions and lubricating gearwheels are available. Due to the compact dimensions, the Lubricus is optimally suited for upgrades or retrofitting.

Quick Check
During operation Lubricus measures the counter-pressure at the lubricating point. The result is output to the display in just a few seconds - simple and without any additional effort.

Lubricus Controller
Installation example Lubricus Controller
The Lubricus controller is used for external monitoring of the Lubricus, to which up to four Lubricus lubrication systems (4 outlets each = 16) can be connected. A connection to the PLC is possible using the Lubricus Controller. The connected Lubricus lubricating devices can be individually controlled and monitored using the controller. The dialogue takes place via a simple to operate LCD display.

. Benefits: units are attached close to the Lubricating actual lubricating points . Electronics and monitoring components can

Installation example: The Lubricus Controller monitors and controls four Lubricus lubricating devices, which in turn supply a varying number of lubricating points. The paths, which the lubricant must travel over in the lines, can be kept simple and short, nevertheless central monitoring takes place via the Lubricus Controller. The installation and maintenance requirements are sustainably reduced.

Lubricating gearwheel
Lubrication of open tooth systems Optimal supply of tooth systems is ensured over very long periods using the Lubricus lubricating gearwheel. The Lubricus lubricating system provides a variable lubricant supply.

Lubricating gearwheel The lubricant passes through the axle and appropriate holes in the foam material. With just a low pressing pressure, the stored lubricant is released again. The PU foam used (open-cell) stores the lubricant and releases it again in very small dosing quantities. In this way, over lubrication is effectively prevented, as is possible wear caused by a lack of lubrication. The lubricating gearwheels are available with both straight as well as sloping right/ sloping left teeth (module 2-30). From a width of 20 mm, the lubricating gearwheel is comprised of several segments. Different fastening axles are available for the lubricating gearwheels. Dependent on the installation or supply of lubricant, right-angled or straight axles can be used.

Chain lubricating pinion
Lubrication of chains As with the lubricating of gearwheels, the lubricant passes through the axle and corresponding holes into the foam material, the pinion ensures quiet running.

Technical data

Chain lubricating pinion The rollers from open-celled PU foam transfer the lubricant in a pointwise manner to the surfaces of the lugs of roller chains. A check valve is integrated in the axles, which prevents uncontrolled leakage of the lubricant. The mechanical force to drive the rollers is ensured by a low-wear plastic pinion. The chain lubricating pinions are, dependent on size, available for simplex and duplex chains. The optimal contact pressure of the lubricating pinion can be individually adjusted using a tensioning element. The tensioning element can also be used for a sprung positioning of the lubricating gearwheel.
