perma NOVA was specifically developed for single-point lubrication of roller and sliding bearings, sliding guides, open gears, gear racks, shaft seals and chains located in areas with considerable temperature variations (e.g. outside installations). The lubrication system is protected against dust and water jets, subject to correct assembly of the individual parts (IP65). perma NOVA with LC 65 cc is ideal for the lubrication of electric motors.

Frequently Asked Questions About perma NOVA
Find answers to common questions about selecting, configuring and using perma NOVA for automatic single-point lubrication in applications with changing temperatures and demanding operating conditions.
perma NOVA is designed for automatic single-point lubrication of roller and sliding bearings, sliding guides, open gears, gear racks, shaft seals and chains. It was developed for lubrication points exposed to considerable temperature variation, including outdoor installations. The 65 cc NOVA LC is also well suited for electric motor lubrication.
perma NOVA uses an electronic control unit with temperature compensation. After you select the discharge period, the NOVA Control unit calculates the gas generation needed to support consistent lubricant discharge while accounting for ambient temperature. This makes the system useful where temperatures fluctuate significantly.
perma NOVA is available with 65 cc and 125 cc lubricant canisters. You can set the discharge period from 1 to 12 months using the push button on the NOVA Control unit.
perma identifies the 65 cc NOVA LC as well suited for electric motor lubrication. Its smaller lubricant volume pairs well with the system's controlled discharge settings for applications that require defined lubricant quantities. The correct lubricant and discharge setting should still be based on the motor manufacturer's requirements.
Yes. The NOVA Control unit is reusable. When the lubricant canister is empty, you can replace the NOVA LC while retaining the control unit for continued use.
Yes. perma NOVA supports remote mounting with a maximum tube length of 6.5 feet, or 2 meters. Remote mounting can be useful when a lubrication point is difficult or unsafe to access, exposed to vibration or located in an area where direct mounting is not practical. Review perma's installation guidance when selecting lines and connection components.
perma NOVA carries Ex certification and has an IP65 protection rating when the individual parts are correctly assembled. It is dust-tight and protected against water jets, supporting use in demanding industrial environments and approved explosive areas.
perma NOVA can dispense grease up to NLGI 2 or oil. Lubricant selection should be based on the equipment manufacturer's recommendations, operating temperature and lubrication-point requirements. See the perma lubricants section for additional lubricant information.
