Block metering device VPB Block feeder for use in oil or grease lubrication systems

Block metering device VPB Block metering devices or feeders of the VPBM/VPBG series are used in small circulating-oil lubrication systems as well as in grease and oil total loss lubrication systems. Fields of application are, for example, metal-forming machines, vehicles, production systems in the automotive industry as well as packaging and printing machines. Advantages: • Robust and cost-eficient • Usable for the widest possible range of applications with regards to mode of operation (continuous/intermittent) and lubricants • Central function monitoring of all feeder ports with a minimum of...

Block metering device VPB General information The block metering device VPB, which belongs to the progressive feeder range, is available in the designs VPBM (metric threaded connectors) and VPBG (inch threaded connectors). The block feeders VPBM and VPBG are pre-set to a fix dosing volume of 0.2 cm3 per outlet and cycle. The volumetric low, which is sent via a tube, is forcibly distributed in a predetermined ratio to the outlets, i.e. to the lubrication points or the downstream progressive feeders. Pistons, which are aligned in series, meter the lubricant for two opposite outlets each and control...

Block metering device VPB Information on the VPB design The general criteria for the design of progressive feeders also apply without restrictions to the sectional metering device VPB. In case of an installation on movable machine parts or in case of strong vibrations (e.g. on grease guns), the piston position of the feeder should not correspond with the direction of movement of the machine part. A maximum of 200 cycles/min is recommended. The block feeder can be monitored directly by means of a piston detector (compare in the oder code: parameters piston detector, monitoring type P2, P3) and...
