Schaeffler has released a new series of Motion Guard automatic lubrication devices, which the company claims offer an economical and environmentally friendly method of keeping bearings in vital machinery and plant adequately lubricated. The series is used for controlled relubrication by continuously supplying a sufficient quantity of fresh grease to the correct contact points of the roller bearing at the correct time to prevent undersupply or oversupply of lubrication.
The product is fully automated and almost completely maintenance-free. It provides the precise amount of grease required for a particular rolling bearing, meaning there is no wastage and service life is maximised, according to the company.
These lubrication devices come in single or multi-top versions, which can deliver grease and/or oil to the precise location where it is needed at intervals set by the user.
