One of the world's largest industries is automotive manufacturing. The fierce competition, ever-increasing automation and digitalization demand highly efficient production maintenance. Requirements that are met by the simalube automatic lubricator: It autonomously lubricates production equipment continuously over a period of 1-12 months, significantly reducing plant downtime.
| Challenges | Solution |
|---|---|
| High demands on the availability of the equipment. simalube lubricant cartridges should be able to be replaced outside the hazardous areas, if possible, so that the equipment does not have to be switched off. | Simalube IMPULSE connect, easy monitoring and installation via Bluetooth |
| Flat brushes for lubrication of chains and guides | |
| Flat brushes with side connection, for applications in tight spaces | |
| Simalube lubricant dispenser in the correctly selected size and running time |
Areas of application and advantages
| Benefits of the Simalube lubrication system | Typical installations | Typical applications |
|---|---|---|
| Reliable, autonomous lubrication with low maintenance requirements | Robots | Chains |
| Minimal wear of components and thus reduction of maintenance costs | Presses | Guides |
| No unplanned downtime of the equipment due to premature failure of components | Conveyor systems | Gears |
| Rotary tables | Pinions | |
| Rolling bearings | ||
| Rails |
Sold millions of times and suitable for any single point lubrication task with grease or oil.
The automatic lubricator simalube provides all possible kinds of lubrication points with lubricant. 24 hours, day in, day out.
Roller bearings which are not lubricated sufficiently or wrongly drop out long before they have reached their expected product life. Simalube lubricators guarantee a consistent supply of lubricant in the pre-adjusted proportioning. Shutdown times are decreased and costs in comparison to time-consuming lubrication by hand are clearly reduced
Within seconds simalube is fixed to the lubricating point. On commissioning, a gas production cell is activated which presses the lubricant on the lubrication point through the release of hydrogen gas. The lubrication amount can be steplessly adjusted by means of an Allen key.
Filled with oil, Simalube is applied for the automatic lubrication of chains, open gears or guide rails for example.
