Sectional metering device, product series VPK Product overview Basic design Visual cycle indicator Piston detector NAMUR proximity switch 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 VPK Product description Information on the design The general criteria for the design of progressive feeders also apply without restrictions to the sectional metering device VP. The most important criterion is the number of cycles (stroke rate). They should be held as low as possible by selecting high-volume feeders. Maximum value of 200 cycles/min should not be exceeded Thus, pressure losses and noise level will also be reduced. In case of an installation on movable machine parts or in case of strong vibrations (e.g. on presses), the piston position...

Sectional metering device, product series VPK Monitoring and attachments Tightening torques During the installation of the VKP feeder, consisting of inlet section, inlet plate, twin and single sections, separator plates as well as end plate and end section, the following tightening torques have to be adhered to for the tie-rods and nuts: Tightening torque Tie-rod (2x) each 2,5 Nm Nut for tie-rod M6 (2x) each 12,0 Nm Two neighboring outlets are joined from the end section towards the inlet section. The plug (order No. 917-006-101) of the outlet nearest to the end section must be unscrewed and...
