Automatic Progressive Lubrication Systems for Reliable Multi-Point Lubrication
Progressive lubrication systems provide centralized, metered lubricant delivery for machinery with multiple lubrication points.By combining a lubrication pump, progressive distributors, metering elements, piping, and optional monitoring devices, the system delivers controlled amounts of grease or oil to multiple lubrication points from a central supply.

Our Progressive Product Range
Industrial Progressive Lubrication Systems
Complete progressive system — pump, primary/secondary divider blocks, and integrated monitoring — for grease or oil, up to ~150 points, rated −40 °C to +70 °C and NLGI 2. Built for harsh, continuous-duty environments.
Single Line Parallel Lubrication Systems
A single pressurized line feeds independent injectors, each serving and adjusting to one point. Easy to add or remove injectors without redesigning the circuit. One blocked injector does not starve the others — ideal when you need resilience and simple expansion.
Series Progressive Lubrication Systems
Master and secondary divider blocks advance in sequence; a single cycle switch on the master block confirms the entire chain cycled — so you know every point received its dose. Compact, cost-effective monitoring; fail-safe (a blockage stops the chain, making it easy to locate). Grease reach ~15 m, oil up to ~100 m.
Lincoln Progressive Lubrication System
Drop-in compatible progressive components — SSV/SSVD-style divider blocks and P203-style pump units — for existing Lincoln-type installations. Lower-cost spares and expansion without replacing equipment that already works.
Key Benefits
Consistent Lubricant Delivery
Metering elements are selected according to the lubrication requirements of the connected points.
Reduced Manual Lubrication
A centralized pump and distribution network can reduce the need for technicians to manually lubricate individual points.
Centralized Monitoring
Progressive systems can incorporate cycle monitoring to help identify abnormal system operation.
Flexible System Configuration
Master and secondary progressive distributors can be combined to accommodate different machine layouts.
Suitable for Multiple Lubrication Points
One centralized lubrication system can supply multiple lubrication points from a common lubricant source.
Easier Maintenance Planning
Automatic lubrication cycles can be coordinated with machine operation and maintenance schedules.
Single-Line Parallel vs. Series Progressive — Know the Difference
|
Factor |
Single-Line Parallel (injector) |
Series Progressive (divider block) |
|
How it meters |
One pressurized line fills independent injectors; each serves one point. |
One line feeds divider blocks; pistons advance in sequence. |
|
If one point blocks |
Rest of system keeps running (fault-tolerant). |
Whole chain stops — fail-safe, easy to locate. |
|
Monitoring |
Per-point sensors needed for critical points; a blocked point is not obvious at system level. |
One cycle switch on the master block confirms every point cycled — cheap, simple proof-of-delivery. |
|
Adjust & expand |
Easy: Add/remove injectors without redesigning the circuit. |
Harder: Adding points or changing dose affects the whole sequence. |
|
Typical reach |
Main line up to ~50 m. |
Grease ~15 m, oil up to ~100 m. |
|
Best for |
Machine tools, conveyors, packaging, mobile fleets where one failure must not stop the rest. |
Applications where proof every point was lubricated is non-negotiable. |
Typical Operating Sequence
Pump Starts
The lubrication pump supplies lubricant to the main supply line.
Primary Distributor Receives Lubricant
The lubricant enters the primary progressive distributor.
Lubricant Is Metered
The distributor meters lubricant through its individual outlets.
Secondary Distribution
Where required, lubricant is routed to secondary progressive distributors.
Lubrication Points Receive Lubricant
The metered lubricant is delivered to the connected bearings, bushings, pins, gears, or other lubrication points.
Cycle Monitoring
A cycle indicator or sensor can be used to verify that the progressive distributor has completed its required sequence.
Industries & Applications
|
Application |
Why progressive fits |
|
Mobile & construction equipment |
Excavators, loaders, crushers, trucks — continuous lube without shutdown; safer, higher uptime. |
|
Machine tools & CNC |
Precise, clean dosing to slides, screws and bearings; protects accuracy. |
|
Conveyors & material handling |
Many dispersed points; single-line parallel keeps one failure from stopping the line. |
|
Packaging & food & beverage |
Compact, metered, low-consumption lube for high-speed lines. |
|
Agriculture & forestry |
Durable in dust, vibration and temperature swings; mobile-friendly. |
|
Wind turbines & oil & gas compressors |
Hard-to-access points; proof-of-delivery monitoring matters. |
|
Process & cement plants (mid-size assets) |
Continuous lube on auxiliary equipment where dual-line isn't justified. |
