Electric motors are used to drive many devices, working machines and vehicles. Electric motors usually generate rotating movements, but they can also be built for translatory movements (linear drive). Electric motors usually have bearings on 2 sides, and these bearings must be lubricated. There are several factors that determine how often a bearing should be lubricated: Operating hours, speed, bearing size, bearing type and the way the motor is mounted are just a few of them. For this reason, simatec has developed Calculation Pro for you, which helps you choose the right lubricant dispenser for your engine.
Challenges
Environment: high temperatures, high temperature fluctuations, pollution
Technical: high loads, vibrations, high operating temperatures
Installation: poor accessibility, little space, sometimes increased back pressure
Solution
In most cases, the lubricators are mounted directly on the lubrication points (bearings or seals). If the lubricant is supplied via a hose line, the IMPULSE connect, with which a higher pressure can be achieved, is often used.

Advantages of the simalube lubrication system
Reliability: Once installed, the lubrication points are reliably lubricated and never forgotten
The hermetically sealed system prevents contamination by dust and debris (IP68)
Reduction of service requirements and maintenance costs: Manual lubrication is no longer necessary meaning fewer disruptions and a huge saving of time
Longer service life of machines thanks to continuous and accurate lubrication
