Why Lincoln use Auto Lube System?

These are 15 reasons why Lincoln Auto Lubrication Systems are a must on today's Machinery.

1 Reduces Repairs:
2 Prevents Waste of Lubricant: by dispensing precise amounts.
3 Reduces Man Hours: by delimiting manual lubrication.
4 Eliminates Machine Downtime: thereby increasing production.
5 Eliminates Product Spoilage: by controlling amount of lubricant to bearing.
6 Reduces Energy Requirements: by increasing machine efficiency (lowers bearing friction).
7 Increases Machine Output: by allowing faster speed in operation of machine.
8 Safety: no climbing on or over machinery, also safe lubrication of bearings inaccessible due to gas, fumes or height.
9 Machine Tolerances: are maintained longer by consistent automatic lubrication.
10 Better Housekeeping: a closed, sealed system eliminated spillage. Machines remain cleaner. No spillage and promotes safer environment for workers.
11 Promotes more Efficient Lubrication: lubricates while machine is running and delivers the right lubricant in the right amount at the right time.
12 Reduces Rejects:  by maintaining closer bearing tolerances which allow for closer product tolerances.
13 Eliminates Bearing Contamination: by supplying lubricant from a closed circuit. Most oilers do not clean grease before manually lubricating.
14 Purges Bearing: in intense dirty work environments. Automatic lubrication Systems will purge or flush bearings thus reducing bearing failures due to contamination.
15 Bottom Line: automatic lubrication reduces manufacturing costs thereby allowing companies to increase profits and remain competitive in the marketplace.

 
Benefits of Automated Lubrication - Improve Lubrication Practices

Automated lubrication applies smaller amounts of lubricant frequently, while the equipment is running, maintaining the correct amount of grease in the bearing at all times. This is compared below to the feast and famine conditions often associated with manual lubrication.
 

 Why Bearing Fail?                                                      		Why Auto Lubrication is better?
      Manual Lubrication     Automated Lubrication
• Inconsistent lubrication • Constant lubrication
• Can't lubricate while running • Lube while machine runs
• Constant contamination • Closed system - no contamination
• Premature bearing wear • Extended bearing life
• Labor expense • Less downtime
• Safety issues • Quick payback on your investment (ROI)

In a study conducted by a major component manufacturer,
over 50% of failures are the result of improper lubrication.
System Operation
 
1 The pump is actuated automatically by an adjustable controller.
2 The lubricant is delivered to the divider valves through the supply line.
3 The divider valve dispenses lubricant in measured amounts directly to the bearing through the feed line. Visual indication of cycle pin assures that all points are lubricated.
