Reliable Integrated Monitoring: Visual or electrical cycle indicators simplify blockage detection and maintenance checks.

 

Harsh Environment Resilience: IP-rated enclosures and robust builds withstand extreme temperatures, dust, and moisture.

 

Maximized Uptime: Automated, continuous delivery reduces catastrophic bearing failures and cuts lubricant waste by up to 50%.

 

System Components

 

Pump Unit: High-capacity electric, pneumatic, or hydraulic pumps integrated with durable lubricant reservoirs ranging from small service units to large-capacity bulk drums.

 

Metering Devices (Divider Blocks): Precision-engineered progressive blocks containing interconnected sequential pistons that divide and distribute the media.

 

Drive & Control Panel: Advanced electronic timers or PLC-based controllers that dictate operational intervals, rest periods, and cycle frequencies.

 

Monitoring Devices: Electronic proximity switches, cycle indicator pins, pressure relief valves, and low-level sensors designed to safeguard system integrity.

 

Distribution Network: High-pressure steel tubing, flexible reinforced thermoplastic hoses, specialized fittings, and custom-mounting skids designed for seamless field installation.

 

Customization Options

 

Reservoir Capacity: Flexible tank sizing ranging from 2 liters to 30 liters or more, complete with automated low-level electronic warning sensors.

 

Material Upgrades: Selection of corrosion-resistant SS316 stainless steel or special coatings for marine, offshore, and aggressive chemical processing environments.

 

Custom Control Logics: Integration of customized voltage ratings, ATEX or explosion-proof motor certifications, and specialized industrial communication protocols (such as Modbus or CANopen) for seamless SCADA integration.

 

Maintenance

 

Preventive Maintenance: Routine checks should be performed every 500 operating hours to inspect reservoir levels, verify main line connections, and check cycle indicator pin movement.

 

Spare Parts Availability: Comprehensive service kits available worldwide, including replacement piston elements, O-rings, pressure relief valves, and inline filter elements.

 

Troubleshooting Support: Modular, plug-and-play component design allows rapid field replacement of individual metering sections or pump cartridges without disrupting the primary pipeline layout.

 

FAQ

 

Q: What is a Lincoln progressive lubrication system?

A: It is an automated centralized lubrication network that utilizes a single pump and sequential metering valves to deliver precise, metered amounts of grease or oil to multiple machine friction points continuously while the equipment is running.

Q: How does a progressive lubrication system work?

A: The pump supplies lubricant under pressure to a primary divider block. Internal pistons move in a strict chronological sequence; lubricant discharged from one piston movement unlocks the next, ensuring every connected bearing receives its exact volume quota.

Q: What happens if a single lubrication point becomes blocked?

A: Because the pistons operate in a strict progressive sequence, a blockage at any single point will halt the entire divider block cycle. This triggers an immediate system pressure spike, activating a visual indicator pin or electronic alarm for prompt troubleshooting.

Q: What types of lubricants can be used with this system?

A: The system is engineered to handle mineral and synthetic oils, fluid greases (NLGI 000, 00, 0), and standard heavy greases up to NLGI Grade 2. Always verify media compatibility with the specific factory seal materials selected.

Q: Can I expand the system if my machine gains additional lubrication points?

A: Yes. Secondary metering blocks can be easily connected to the outlet ports of primary divider blocks to scale up the total number of lubrication points, accommodating up to 150 points or more per single pump line.

Q: What power options are available for the lubrication pumps?

A: We offer flexible motor configurations including 12V and 24V DC for mobile construction and mining vehicles, multi-voltage AC variants for fixed industrial manufacturing plants, and reliable pneumatic-driven pumps.

Q: How do I choose the correct progressive system for my heavy equipment?

A: Key selection criteria include the total number of lubrication points, required lubricant type (oil versus grease), operating environment temperatures, and cycle frequency demands. Contact our engineering team for a customized system design layout.
