Lubricating System for Equipment　Auto Greastar | IHI Rotating Machinery Engineering Co.,Ltd.

Auto Greastar is a small centralized lubricating system.
It is called small single line, and the system is the same as that of single line.
This system is used to automate/centralize lubrication of various types of small/medium general industrial machines such as car and injection molding machine.
(Both grease and oil are supported.)

Use example

（1）: Transfer machine
（2）: Bus
（3）: Injection machine

This system is applicable to car, agricultural machine, press machine, mining machine, machine tool, iron-making/forging press machine and the auxiliary equipment, rolling machine, shear, leveler, crane, conveyor, waterwheel in electric power plant, papermaking machine, textile machine, printing machine, food machine, packing machine, and other various machines and systems.

Feature

Light, compact and strong (dispensing pressure: 14.7 MPa). Lubricant is fed reliably.
Its versatility allows the system to be altered for the dual line system using a small hydraulic selector valve.
The B type distribution valve can also be used for a medium-sized machine.
Manufactured domestically to ensure safety, security and quality.
Provide a maintenance system by agents providing maintenance service.

Manually operated	SKA-244 SKA-214	BU-□R type BMUM-□R (□-□) type	60 ports		25 m	50 m

Operating temperature: -20 to +60 °C (non condensing)
Note that the system may not be operated depending on the grease type (low-temperature grease recommended especially at 0 °C or below).

Operating principle

The system mainly consists of an oil feed pump, distribution valve and pipe.
The grease/oil fed by the pump moves the pistons of distribution valve one by one by hydraulic pressure.
Therefore, a fixed amount of grease/oil is fed regardless of the back pressure of bearing.

Equipment description

Electric pump

SK-505 is a tough product that functions in a severe in-car environment where the pump is vibrated or exposed to the rain.
SK-521 has two outlets, but it can be changed to one outlet. In this case, the dispensing amount will be doubled.

Piping example: SK-521

（2）: Oil supply pipe
（3）: Distributor BU-8R
（4）: Oil supply pipe

A 400 cc cartridge grease can also be used. In this case, the optional cartridge tank is required.
*1: Shows the case of using the controller AGT-525. A transformer is required separately when 400 V or different voltage is used.
*2: Supported by rewinding of motor.

Pneumatic pump

A small and strong pump that can change the dispensing pressure between 2.9 and 19.6 MPa by supply air.
SKB-881 is a double acting pump that dispenses continuously while air is supplied.
SKC-800 is a single acting pump that dispenses once by a single air supply.

Distribution valve

BU type distributor
By introducing distributor, grease and oil supplied from pumps and tanks can be distributed and refueled to multiple refueling points.
Do not plug the outlet of distributor. It causes malfunction of entire system.
To reduce the number of outlets, purchase the optional auxiliary metal fitting: AU-15 and AU-26.
The BMUM type distributor combines the BMU type and M type distributor.
The BMU type distributor are delivered separately.
