Usually installed on machinery such as coal mining and earth moving equipment which utilize a hydraulic pressure system . The frequency of the lubrication cycle can be set manually or by mechani-cal or automatic incoln entro- atic systems and components are made to match your application. ystems can service one ma-chine different zones on one machine or even several separate machines. egardless of the application the principle of centralized lubrication remains the same a central pump station automatically delivers lubricant through a single supply line to the in ectors.

4 Ach in ector serves only one lubrication point and may be accurately ad usted to deliver the precise amount of grease or oil required. entro- atic systems give you multiple advantages over other designs. ystems are easy to understand install and maintain. ou realize savings right from the start because one lubricant supply line means lower installation costs. entro- atic systems dispense either grease or oil in measured quantities unaffected by normal temperature or viscosity changes. or large systems incoln s single-line design and powerful pumps mean in ectors can be located long distances from original reinery containers or bul lubricant tan s. ubricant in ectors are e ternally ad ustable without special tools so each bearing can receive the correct amount of lubricant. o under- or over- lubrication at individual points.

They ll bac you up with parts and service for years after the automatically by compressed air at various pre-determined intervals. An air-operated pump delivers lubricant to the in ectors.

6 Hen all in ectors have cycled the pump shutsoff automatically and vents lubricant pressure. Available with automatic manual or mechanical where compressed air is not available or electri-cal operation is preferred. Totally enclosed motor supplies the power requirements of the pumping mechanism. Time control is ad ustable to provide predetermined frequency of lubrication . esigned for smaller individual machines manual systems provide a low-cost eficient method of distribut-ing lubricant to the in ectors. ycling a complete ban of in ectors ta es only a few seconds. n manually operated systems the lubricant pump is hand- operated and the machine operator performs the lubrication Pumping UnitExternal AdjustmentVisual IndicatorsEase of ServiceParts and ServiceAir- peratedElectric anualIntroductionCentro- matic automatic lubrication Systems3 IntroductionEach Lincoln Centro-Matic injector can be manually adjusted to discharge the precise amount of lubricant each bearing needs.

7 Injectors are mounted singly at each bearing, or grouped in a manifold with feedlines supplying lubricant to the bearings. In each case, injectors are supplied with lubricant under pump pressure through a single supply line. wo injector types are a ailable a top adjusting and a side adjusting. oth types can be used in the same circuit their selection is made on the basis of bearing lubricant re 1 he discharge chamber is illed with lubricant from the pre ious cycle. nder pressure of incoming lubri-cant, lubricant is directed to both sides of the measuring piston through the slide al e. he port to the bearing is closed in this position which pre ents the measuring piston from mo ing. he indicator stem will be at its innermost position, ha ing pulled away from the stop in the adjusting 2 ressure has built up and has mo ed the slide al e in position shown.
