Basics of central lubrication
Central lubrication supplies several lubrication points automatically and as needed. Goal: less downtime, longer service life, lower consumption.
- Oil or grease systems (NLGI 00-2)
- Doser/distributor plus sensors
- Control: time, pulse or status based
Products & Components
Containers & Accessories
Containers, filters, lines and distributors for clean supply.
Lubricants
Oils and fats tailored to temperature, load and hygiene.
Applications / Industries
Food industry
Hygienic design, CIP compatible, food-safe media.
Metalworking
Precise dosage for service life and surface quality.
Packaging
High cycle times, reduced maintenance, stable availability.
Avoid common mistakes
- Over/undergreasing due to incorrect dosage
- Inappropriate viscosity/NLGI
- Lack of sensors/alarming
Costs & ROI
Typically a system pays for itself within 6-18 months – depending on downtimes, lubricant consumption and maintenance effort.
FAQ
Which lubricants are suitable?
From NLGI 00 to NLGI 2 as well as various oils depending on temperature and load.
How is monitoring carried out?
Pressure, flow or stroke sensors. Messages via control/PLC.
How do I start the design?
Define lubrication points, media, temperatures, timing and desired monitoring.
