Lubrication points
Lubrication points
Lubrication points (roller bearings) are located on the drive shaft between drive motor and pump.
Lubrication of packing gland and labyrinth seals prevents the entry of dirt and/or pumped media. Bearings and bearing housing seals must be permanently supplied with the specified amount of the right lubricant.Challenges
Challenges
Pumps are often operated under extreme conditions, subjecting individual components to special wear. These can include heavy contamination from slurry or dust, as well as hazardous materials such as bases and weak acids.
- Dirt, water or other contaminants must not enter bearing points
Many lubrication points can only be accessed using extreme protection measures (safety gloves and protective masks). As a result, they are not lubricated as often as required or are completely neglected.
Lubrication starvation results in wear, which leads to failure of equipment components or pump leakages.- Optimal and regular lubrication with fresh lubricant during equipment operation
- Operation in potentially explosive areas
- Workplace safety must be ensured
Advantages of automatic lubrication
Advantages of automatic lubrication
- Increased workplace safety due to automatic lubrication of hard-to-reach lubrication points
- Precise lubricant discharge lowers lubricant consumption and thereby environmental impact
- Fewer maintenance runs minimize the time workers spend in dangerous areas
- Depending on the selected lubrication system, use may be possible underground or in potentially explosive areas
- Increased workplace safety due to automatic lubrication of hard-to-reach lubrication points
Solutions
Direct mounting on the lubrication point:
e.g. perma CLASSIC / FUTURA / FLEX / NOVA- Easy, quick mounting
- For lubrication points with little vibration / shocks
- For easy-to-reach, safe lubrication points
Remote mounting to the lubrication point:
e.g. perma STAR VARIO- For lube-points with strong vibration / shocks (isolation of lubrication system)
- When workers’ safety is at risk: Mounting in safe areas
- For hard-to-reach lubrication points

Pumps are the core of many industrial applications. A failing pump can often interrupt the entire work or production process. One of the main factors for trouble-free operation is effective lubrication. A regular injection of fresh, clean grease provides extra protection against the entry of dirt and water and will extend the service life of your pumps.
