A device for outputting a future state of a central lubrication system includes at least one sensor for recording a parameter of the central lubrication system, a processing unit for processing the recorded parameter, determining a current state of the central lubrication system based on the processed parameter, and estimating a future state of the central lubrication system over a certain period of time based on the current state and stored data, and an output unit for outputting the future state of the central lubrication system.

Device for outputting a future state of a central lubrication system

A lubrication distribution assembly is provided. The lubrication distribution assembly includes a lubrication metering device, which includes a piston. The lubrication distribution assembly also includes a sensor and a controller. The sensor automatically detects a piston stroke length of the piston over at least two movement cycles of the piston. The controller receives the piston stroke length from the sensor, sets an operating point of the piston based on the piston stroke length, and controls the lubrication metering device by utilizing the set operating point.

Lubrication distribution assembly

A lubricant distribution system includes at least one lubricant pump, at least one metering device for distributing metered amounts of lubricant to consumption points, a sensor unit including at least one sensor element configured to detect at least one operating parameter of the metering device, and at least one programmable control unit configured to control the lubricant pump based on the detected operating parameter.

Lubricant distribution system and method for its operation

A lubricant distributor for delivering lubricant to at least one lubrication point includes a lubricant distributor housing with a cylinder bore, a metering piston mounted for reciprocal movement in the cylinder bore, and a detector connected at an end of the cylinder bore, the detector including an entry bore configured to receive a portion of the metering piston, and the entry bore being in fluid communication with the cylinder bore, and the detector including an interior space separated from the entry bore by a wall and a Hall sensor in the interior space. The detector is configured to output a detection signal in response to detecting the portion of the metering piston in the entry bore. Also a method of operating the lubricant distributor.
