Best suited for: Flexibility and precision
Recommended product: Xport™ Star Control
Common uses: Gear racks, shaft seals, electric motors, chains, roller bearings, sliding bearings, open gears, sliding guides and spindles in the food, paper, recycling, power production and mining industries.
This unit also offers extremely accurate lubricant dispensing and is a preferred option for use in electric motors. It can be connected to an external power source through its cable, which also allows its settings to be controlled remotely. This unit can be used in either the time or impulse operating mode, which can be set using the LCD display.
The impulse mode releases a set quantity of lubricant when voltage is applied to the system. The time mode controls the discharging of lubricant according to the equipment’s operating hours. The precision of the discharge quantity is not affected by temperature or counter pressure. The system’s drive unit can be used multiple times with a refill cartridge.
The components of the Star Control unit are:
Wire ropes are hard-working components in many different applications, from mines to lifts, ports, construction sites, and drainage systems. Ron Byrnes, Senior Technical Sales Representative and Wire Rope Specialist at Lubrication Engineers (LE) South Africa, has over 30 years of experience working with wire ropes, including working directly on major
While specialist lubricants can work wonders for a particular component in a specific type of equipment, a general use lubricant can be used in multiple processes and is one of the most important additions to a technical maintenance team’s toolkit. Used on all manner of things from conveyor belt bearings
Wire ropes are critical parts of many operations. These components are often responsible for lifting, moving and carrying heavy loads. Just like any other mechanical component, they have to have the right product in them to work effectively.
