TYPICAL CENTRAL LUBRICATION SYSTEM LAYOUT

 

FLO’s installed SKF MonoFlex Automatic Greaser is a single-line system, consisting of a gear pump and reservoir available in 2.7 Litre (6 lb.) and 6 Litre (13 lb.) sizes, external control unit and parallel type piston distributors. The timer-controlled pump supplies fluid grease to the distributor blocks via the main line when the pump is in operation. When the metering chambers of the distributors are full, the excess grease flows back into the reservoir via a safety valve. At the end of the pump run-time (start of the interval-time), the pressure relief valve opens and drops the main line residual pressure to 3 to 15 psi. The spring-loaded pistons in the distributors then discharge independently of each other, precisely measured amounts of lubricant from the metering chambers to the lubrication points. Our system typically services your king pins, tie rods, steering drag link, slacks, spring pins, transmission cross shaft, brake shafts and fifth wheel if applicable. 

 

Features of the FLO SKF MonoFlex System:

• Use Any Grease Brand - Operates with any fluid grease NLGI #000 to 00 that meets system specifications down to -25 °C or -13 °F.

• Totally Electric 12/24 VDC Pump - No air required and therefore no impact on the truck air system.

• Pressure Gauge - Allows for visual monitoring of system pressure during maintenance inspections and trouble-shooting.

• Adjustable Grease Distributors - Individual distributors are easily adjusted to rates of 0.1 to 0.4 cm³ by changing the screw-in volume caps, without having to disconnect any of the grease lines.

• Electronic Control Unit - Installed separately in the cab. It controls and monitors the pump‘s running and also signals any malfunctions via an indicator light. The control unit has a microprocessor that stores all the operating states even after the power has been switched off.
