Centralised Lubrication

Frequently asked questions — Centralized Lubrication

• How can I determine the right components for my centralised lubrication system?

  Equipment selection must be based on rigorous technical criteria derived from your application. You must take into account the viscosity of the lubricant used, the number of lubrication points to be supplied, and the specific pressure and temperature conditions. Compatibility between pumping and distribution devices and hydraulic accessories is essential to ensure the tightness and continuity of the lubrication circuit.
• Which design standards must be observed for hydraulic schematics?

  For reading and designing your hydraulic schematics, it is essential to refer to the graphic symbols standardised under ISO 1219. If your configuration involves the use of integrated hydraulic valves, the arrangement of the elements must comply with the mounting interfaces defined by ISO 4401. These standards ensure consistent integration of the components and stability of the lubricant flow within the circuit.
• Which brands does MecaIndus offer for building a centralised lubrication circuit?

  The range available at MecaIndus brings together technical solutions from the MOLYDAL, SKF and CIR brands. This selection makes it possible to build reliable circuits by integrating all the required elements, from the crimp fitting through to the crimping equipment needed for line maintenance. The use of these components helps prevent failures caused by insufficient or irregular lubrication of mechanical assemblies within your automated systems.
• What is the difference between centralised lubrication and standard hydraulic connectors?

  Centralised lubrication is a product family dedicated to automating the supply of lubricant to critical components, whereas hydraulic connectors deal more broadly with connection systems. Although closely linked within hydraulic management, these two areas require particular attention to the continuity and tightness of the circuit. Centralised lubrication requires precise specification of the devices according to the viscosity of the lubricant and the pressure constraints specific to automated lubrication.
