Level Monitoring; Visual Monitoring Of Level; Level Switch; Selection Of Grease Quantity For Application - SKF LAGD 1000 Mode D'emploi

The lubrication pipes are made from black nylon that has a high bursting
strength. Genuine SKF pipes must be used. The grease can be pumped,
through the pipes, to a recommended distance of 6 meters depending on
environmental temperature (recommended ambient temperature
20 °C, 68°F)

Level monitoring

2.6.1 Visual monitoring of level

The transparent reservoir enables you to visually monitor the level. The level should be
checked at regular intervals for safety reasons. The current level can be precisely seen
from the position of the follower.
When the grease level in the reservoir drops below the "min" marking,
you must bleed the entire system. (see section 2.5.4)
TIP. If the grease level does not go below the "min" level, you do not need
to bleed the entire system.

2.6.2 Level switch

The SKF Multipoint automatic lubricators LAGD 1000 series are delivered with an
automatic level control function. When the level drops below the "min" marking, the
sequence of operations is stopped, and a fault message "FLL" appears in the display.

Selection of grease quantity for application

The SKF Dial Set CD ROM (MP3506) or LubeSelect for SKF greases
http://www.skf.com/portal/skf/home/aptitudexchange can be used to calculate the amount
of grease required over a given time period.
Example:
LubeSelect calculates the following grease requirement for a bearing over the relubrication
interval.
Grease L1 life (SKF re-lubrication interval), hrs
Grease quantity replenish through lubrication holes, grams
Assuming that the grease has a specific density of around 0,9, the total amount of grease
required over the lubrication interval is 155/0,9 = 172 cm
A complete internal cycle of the LAGD 1000 dispenses 0,2cm
Therefore the number of cycles required is 172/0,2 =860 cycles
Over a period of 3800 hours, 860 cycles are required, that is: one cycle every 4,4 hours
(or two cycles every 8,8 hours and so on).
The LAGD 1000 can now be programmed accordingly, see section 4.3.2.
