Abstract
A metering device for dispensing a predetermined amount of lubricant includes a lubricant reservoir, which retains a lubricant and dispenses it under pressure via an outlet of the lubricant reservoir, and a metering apparatus, which comprises at least one microvalve. The microvalve is fluidly coupled with the outlet of the lubricant reservoir and dispenses the predetermined amount of lubricant in a defined manner. The metering apparatus is spatially separable from the lubricant reservoir.
