Linear movements in machine and plant construction are usually implemented by using linear guides. Linear guides are available as rolling guides (linear ball bearings, linear roller bearings) or as sliding guides (linear plain bearings, dovetail guides, rail guides).
| CHALLENGES | SOLUTION |
|---|---|
| Environment: pollution, high load, very little space | As available space is often limited, simalubes are usually connected to the lubrication points with a hose. |
| Technical: high speeds with often very small travel distances result in very frequent changes of direction | |
| Installation: little space, very small connection threads |

Advantages of the simalube lubrication system
- Fresh lubricant is continuously supplied
- No over or under lubrication
- The lubricants also reach lubrication points that cannot be served with a grease gun
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.
