The progressive piston distributors are distributor devices with a hydraulic sequence control, the pistons of which are regulated by the supplied lubricant in a way that the lubricant inevitably and successively escapes at the individual outlets. In the case of malfunction during the flow of lubricant, e. g. clogging of lubricating line or lubricating points, the distributor will block up. This blockage is used for the monitoring of the distributors. In the case of manually operated pumps a virtually insurmountable counter pressure occurs during the blockage. In the case of automatic pumps such as e. g. the electropump EP- the lubricant escapes at the excess pressure valve. The progressive distributors are manufactured in a variable disk construction, which offers the advantage that the distributor can be extended or shortened at random according to the amount of lubrication points. Due to this disk construction there is also the possibility of constructing an overall progressive distributor from individual distributor disks with different outputs per piston stroke. The difference in output per piston stroke is achieved by different piston diameters. To ensure the proper functioning of a progressive distributor a minimum of three pistons, i. e. a minimum of three output elements is required.

Functional description of standard distributor The progressive distributor individually consist of an initial element (without piston), min. middle elements and a possible element 00 and one end element that are connected by connecting rods (hexagon screws) and toothed lock washers until you receive distributor blocks. The progressive distributors consist of the individual components inlet element IE (without piston), middle element ME and end element EE, all of which are assembled in distributor blocks using tension rods (hexagon socket screws) with lock washers. The individual elements are sealed with O-rings. The lubricant flows via the inlet of the distributor through all distributor disks to the piston (I) (illustration A). The piston (I) is shifted to the left and the lubricant is pressed from the left pressure range of the delivery piston to the outlet (illustration B). After that, the proportioning pistons (II) and (III) are progressively shifted and the lubricant is primed to the outlets and. After the piston (III) has been shifted, the lubricant is directed to the left side of the delivery piston (I) (illustration C) and primed from the right pressure range of the delivery piston to the outlet. Subsequently, the delivery pistons (II) and (III) are shifted and lubricant is pressed to the outlets and. Illustration A III II I Pressure range Illustration B: III II I After the delivery piston (III) has been shifted, the lubricant is once more directed to the right side of the delivery piston (illustration A) and a new cycle of the progressive piston distributor is initiated. The described function is repeated as long as lubricant is fed to the progressive distributor. Illustration C: III II I
Functional description of distributor with element 00 When using a element 00 the distributor mainly operates like a standard distributor. Figure D: III Lubricant flows via the distributor inlet through all distributor discs to the piston (I). During this process the non-return valve RV in the dummy element opens (fig. D, red marking).

Lubricant is pressed out of the left chamber, moves the piston (00) of the dummy element (fig.

The non-return valve RV of the dummy element opens and lubricant is supplied to outlet (fig. F, green marking). Figure F: III RV 00 RV II I Right after the piston (III) has been moved, lubricant is supplied to the left side of the piston (I) and moves it to the right (fig. G, red marking).

Assembling outlets: For larger lubrication points the assembly of two or more outlets at the progressive distributor may be required. The individual disks of the progressive distributor have two outlets. outlets per distributor element (standard type) -fold Sealing screw SW When assembling two outlets at the progressive distributor the two outlets of one disk are connected. To achieve this, the sealing screw separating the two sides is removed and a lock screw screwed in to the side, which is to be closed. The output of the closed side is now escaping on the other side, i. e. the output of the open side is doubled. outlet per distributor element -fold Lock screw SW Lock screws are generally required for the assembly of outlets: Lock screw for progressive distributor MX-F: Order-no: 00 9000000 To separate assembled outlets on progressive distributors the sealing screw must ne screwed back in: Sealing screw for separation of outlets on progressive distributors MX-F: Order-no: 080000 7
Assembling several outlets Assembling outlets with a pipe or distributor bridge without outlet: If the total output of the outlets assembled in one disk of the progressive distributor is not sufficient, e. g. in the case of large bearing points or main distributors, there is the possibility of assembling the outlets of several distributor disks. To achieve this, tow distributor disks are connected with a pipe or distributor bridge as described here. Depending on which element the sealing screw separating the two sides of a distributor disk is removed from, in this way three outlets are connected. Subsequently, the output of the closed outlets escaped at one outlet. The dosage is calculated on the basis of the output value of all assembled piston sides. A pipe bridge or a distributor bridge can also be used for the assembly of four outlets. To achieve this, the sealing screw must be removed from both distributor disks and one of the two outlets must be closed off opposite the pipe bridge or distributor bridge with a lock screw. assembled outlets -fold -fold assembled outlets -fold Pipe bridge: Cap screw ÜS M0x Order-no: 080000 and Double cone olive DKR Order-no: 090800 and Reducer ring dia. to dia.
