Sectional metering device, product series VP Product overview Basic design Visual cycle indicator Piston detector Flow limiter Overview SKF progressive feeders, inlet volume cm³/min 6 000 The maximum recommended flow rate values relate to lubricating oil at the highest selectable piston-stroke volume.

Sectional metering device, product series VP Product description General The sectional metering device VP, which belongs to the progressive feeder range, is available in the designs VPM (metric-threaded connectors) and VPG (inch-threaded connectors). With their metering sections, VPM and VPG cover a metering volume per outlet and cycle of 0.1 cm3 (T- section) to 1.2 cm3 (S-section). The inlet of the feeder is located at an inlet section and the outlets are at the downstream feeder sections. The delivery ducts are sealed by elastic seals. An end section is located downstream of the last feeder...

Sectional metering device, product series VP Monitoring and attachments Quantity distribution († Fig. 2) Sectional metering devices distribute an amount delivered by a pump to several outlets while the feeder determines the volumetric ratio. The different output quantities within a feeder are achieved by the use of various piston diameters or the joining of two or more outlets. The indicated lubricant quantities result from the piston diameter and the maximum travel of the piston. Depending on the system design, these capacities may vary by 40 percent. For the sectional metering devices VPM and...
