Description

Progressive distributors are elements that allow the division and distribution of lubricant in a controlled and precise way. They take their name from the fact that the lubricant is supplied to the lubrication points in a progressive order. They have a single inlet; the number of outlets depends on the model and configuration.

Progressive distributors operate with pistons, which make a clean and precise distribution of lubricant.

Design and operating principle

The lubricant enters the distributor under pressure. Through the various internal communications, the piston acts on the first plunger, causing the latter to move and thus giving rise to the first division of lubricant towards the first outlet.

Once the first piston has completed its stroke, the movement of the next piston begins and the division and distribution of lubricant towards the second outlet takes place, and so on until the movement of all the pistons is completed. When the last piston has completed its movement, the cycle begins again on the initial piston, but in the opposite direction, with the division and distribution of lubricant to the outlet on the opposite side. This cycle is repeated continuously as long as there is a pressurized lubricant supply.

As all the inner pistons are interconnected, the blocking of a single piston will block the progressive distributor completely. This feature makes it easy to check that the system is operating correctly by adding a detection system on a single piston.

Installation

Progressive distributors can be placed in single line lubrication systems or at the outlet of dosing valves in double line lubrication systems. It is not recommended to place more than two progressive distributors in series.

The lubricant inlet must always be pressurized.

If not all outlets of the progressive distributor need to be used, an outlet bypass is necessary. Refer to the instruction manual to carry out the override correctly and avoid blockage of the distributor.
