Chain-Lubrication-Application
iwis’s new CLA lubrication system for chain drives acts as a highly
efficient minimum quantity lubrication system. The compact size simplifies the task of retrofitting the device in existing plant and machinery.
The highlight of the CLA system The special applicator,
which is made from a high-performance material is the special applicator, which is made from a high-performance material. The applicator acts as a reservoir via which small quantities of lubricant are continuously delivered to the employed chain drive at the precise locations where it is actually needed. This prevents the operating roller chain from not being supplied with enough lubricant and also prevents unnecessarily large volumes of oil from being dispensed onto the chain and its environment.
The CLA pumps can be operated separately. The following versions are available:
•time-controlled (TC version)
•pulse-controlled (PC version)
The CLA pumps can be operated separately either with time control or can be simply integrated in the machine’s PLC.
The special applicators store the lubricant, which is dispensed at intervals by the pump, and continuous supply of the chain joint with lubricant. The applicators are available in many variants, including custom designs.
Highlights
•Controlled minimum quantity lubrication
•Clean environment because there is no misting, as in the case
of spray systems, for example
•Mounted on sliding bearings and equipped with a spring
metal sheet for optimum contact with the chain strand
•Optionally available with guide pinions for high speeds
•No fraying, as in the case of brushes, for example
