Electric motors are used to drive many devices, working machines and vehicles. Electric motors usually generate rotating movements, but they can also be built for translatory movements (linear drive). Electric motors usually have bearings on 2 sides, and these bearings must be lubricated. There are several factors that determine how often a bearing should be lubricated: Operating hours, speed, bearing size, bearing type and the way the motor is mounted are just a few of them. For this reason, simatec has developed Calculation Pro for you, which helps you choose the right lubricant dispenser for your engine.
| CHALLENGES | SOLUTION |
|---|---|
| Environment: high temperatures, high temperature fluctuations, pollution | In most cases, the lubricators are mounted directly on the lubrication points (bearings or seals). If the lubricant is supplied via a hose line, the IMPULSE connect, with which a higher pressure can be achieved, is often used. |
| Technical: high loads, vibrations, high operating temperatures | |
| Installation: poor accessibility, little space, sometimes increased back pressure |

Advantages of the simalube lubrication system
- Reliability: Once installed, the lubrication points are reliably lubricated and never forgotten
- The hermetically sealed system prevents contamination by dust and debris (IP68)
- Reduction of service requirements and maintenance costs: Manual lubrication is no longer necessary meaning fewer disruptions and a huge saving of time
- Longer service life of machines thanks to continuous and accurate lubrication
- Flexibility: The running time is adjustable from 1–12 months
- No need to shut down the machines during maintenance
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.
