What Is an Automatic Lubrication System?
An automatic lubrication system delivers measured doses of grease or oil to bearing points at programmable intervals, replacing manual grease-gun lubrication. Systems range from single-point electromechanical lubricators (one bearing) to centralized multi-point systems serving 100+ points from a single pump station.
System Types
Single-point: Battery-powered cartridge mounted directly on the bearing housing. Multi-line: Central pump with individual lines to each point. Progressive: Central pump with divider valves ensuring sequential delivery. Our Cement Plant Case Study documents a full centralized system deployment saving AED 620K annually.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the benefits of automatic lubrication?
Automatic lubrication ensures correct grease quantity at correct intervals, eliminates human error, reduces lubricant consumption by 30-50%, extends bearing life, improves safety (no manual lubrication near running machinery), and provides documentation for maintenance records.
