Abstract
An automatic lubrication device includes a lubricant container configured to receive a lubricant, a lubricant delivery device for delivering the lubricant, a pump configured to pump the lubricant from the lubricant container to the lubricant delivery device, a drive configured to drive the pumping device, the drive being coupled to the pump via a force-transmission device, an internal control device for controlling the drive, and a control panel configured to enter control commands for the internal control device as an interface for an operator. Components of the automatic lubrication device that include potential electrical or non-electrical ignition sources each include at least one suitable type of protection, which makes the potential ignition sources ineffective, so that a potential fire- or explosion-risk emanating from the automatic lubrication device is eliminated when the automatic lubrication device is used in a fire- and/or explosion-endangered environment.
