Rolling bearings and sliding bearings of various designs are found in almost all industries. Rolling bearings are bearings in which between an inner ring and an outer ring, bodies (rolling elements) reduce the frictional resistance. In the sliding bearing, on the other hand, the two parts moving relative to each other are in direct contact. They slide on each other against the resistance caused by sliding friction. In both types of bearings, the continuous supply of lubricants in the correct quantity is the key to trouble-free operation, less wear, longer life and lower energy consumption.
| CHALLENGES | SOLUTION |
|---|---|
| Environment: high temperatures, high temperature fluctuations, contamination | simalube mounted directly on the bearing |
| Technical: high radial and axial loads, vibrations - impact loads, high operating temperatures, different installation positions | The simalube dispensers are connected to the lubrication points via a hose |
| Installation: poor accessibility, limited space, risk of damage |
Advantages
Advantages of the simalube lubrication system
- Fresh lubricant is continuously supplied in the correct quantity
- No over- or underlubrication
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.
