Screw-in restrictor

A continuous flow of oil is often necessary
for the lubrication or cooling of machines or
systems requiring large amounts of oil. This
flow is produced by gear, gerotor, vane and
piston pumps and then distributed to meet
the needs of the individual lube points.

Metering valve distributor

The system is very simple if there is only one
lube point to be supplied. But if the lubricant
is to be delivered to a number of lube points
in equal quantities or certain proportions,
there are several possibilities entailing different expenses and effects.

(cf. leaflet 1-5017-EN)

If must be remembered that circulating lubrication systems require an oil return line from
the lube points to the oil reservoir.Adequate
filtering of the oil must be provided. Restrictors, especially for small amounts of oil, are
sensitive to dirt.
