A crane and its components are exposed to all weather conditions and many dirt emissions. The components of a crane must therefore be supplied with sufficient lubricant at all times. The simalube automatic lubricant dispenser ensures a permanent supply of grease or oil to the bearings over periods of one to 12 months and thus offers the perfect solution for the automatic lubrication of rolling bearings. Such precise and continuous lubrication as with the simalube lubricant dispenser is not even possible manually. The automatic lubrication of bearings, the continuous, reliable supply of lubricant to the lubrication points, guarantee reliable operation of the equipment even under adverse environmental conditions.
| Challenges | Solution |
|---|---|
| Outdoor applications | Simalube, well protected, mounted directly on the lubrication points |
| Temperature fluctuations | Simalube with flat brushes |
| IMPULSE connect: Digital monitoring and configuration of the lubrication points via Bluetooth®. The lubrication points can be monitored from a distance of 20 m. The device can be used to increase the pressure up to 10 bar. |
Areas of application and advantages
| Typical installations | Typical applications | Further benefits |
|---|---|---|
| Construction cranes | Bearings | Reliable lubrication with low maintenance requirements |
| Mobile cranes | Cable drums | Minimal wear of components and thus reduction of maintenance costs |
| Harbor cranes | Joints | High time savings as lubrication points are often difficult to reach |
| Container cranes | Winches | Very good protection against corrosion as lubricant is continuously replenished |
| Sliding surfaces | ||
| Sprockets | ||
| Load cables |
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.
