Discharge pressure (1: 9.8 MPa and for oil, 2: 20.6 MPa)
Type (1: Centralized )
Manually operated lubricating pump (MP Series)

Consider the following when selecting the pump model.

1. Type of the lubricant (grease, oil)

Structure of the reservoir is different for grease or oil. Use the appropriate
one for centralized lubrication of NLGI Specification No. 00 to 1 for grease.
2. Discharge pressure
It is possible to lubricate to a wider range with a narrow pipe using the 20.6
MPa specification lubricating pump.
3. Discharge capacity
It is possible to perform fast and easy lubrication using a lubricating pump
with large discharge amount due to less handle operation.
4. Reservoir capacity
Calculate the grease consumption from the number of lubricating ports
and lubricating frequency, and select the lubricating pump with reservoir
capacity for appropriate filling period.
5. Reservoir material
Remaining amount of grease can be seen from outside with the plastic
reservoir, and has a merit such as small and light. And when a cover is
necessary, it uses smaller cover than the steel reservoir.
However, it is not appropriate to use at the location that may be damaged
by object hitting it or at the location with high temperature.
6. Mounting location
Use this lubricating pump indoors.
When using this outdoors, place it inside a cover so it is not exposed to
rain water, or use the simplified outdoors specification with a level rod case
mounted on the reservoir.
7. Other
Different name plate language (standard is Japanese and English adscript)
and color of paint (standard is Munsell code 2.5G6/3) for exporting will be
an option.
M10 x 40L bolt, nut, and spring washer are attached.

Mounting Example
Distributor
Distributor is a valve that will discharge constant amount of the grease that is
sent via piping from the lubricating pump to each lubrication point, and model
据付配管例
is defined by the number of lubricating points, amount of lubrication for each
lubrication, and operating method of lubrication.
VS model and VW model distributors are using the method where lubricating
pistons operate in parallel, operation indicator rod is mounted per each
lubricating piston, and amount of lubricant can be adjusted in a specific range.
KX model distributor is using the progressive method where lubricating piston
moves in order of sequence, operation indicator rod is attached on the last
piston for each distributor unit, and it will lubricate in a fixed amount.
Either distributors are using the measured discharge mechanism not using VS Model Distributor VW Model Distributor
springs or similar, so they are distributors with high durability and reliability.

Operation of the Dual Line Distributor

Operation

Ⅰ Ⅱ
① High pressure grease flows in from the grease supply main pipe. ① Grease will go into the main chamber through this hole.
② The pilot piston will move to this position. ② Main piston will go down due to the grease pressure.
③ Grease is pooled in this chamber from the previous operation. ③ Grease inside the main chamber is pushed out.
④ Grease will be discharged to the bearing though this hole.
Discharge will continue until the movement of the piston is
stopped.

Precautions of Handling
1. Maximum operating pressure is 20.6 MPa. It will be 9.8 MPa or lower when used for oil.
2. Operating temperature range is -20ºC to +70ºC. Inquire when you need to use out of this range.
3. Operating pressure is 1 MPa or lower.
4. Adjustment of the amount of discharge is done by the adjustment screw inside the indicating rod case. Amount of discharge will become
lower when the stroke of the main piston is reduced by tightening it. Fix the screws using a lock screw after the adjustment.
5. Attach the protection cover against outdoors, dusts, radiation heat, etc.
6. Operation of the SUS VWS model distributor is same as the VW model. However, the shorting plug for upper and lower port is attached on all
discharge ports.

Spray Valve
Spray valve is a valve to spray an appropriate amount of grease or oil evenly to the gears, face of tooth of racks, wires, chains, and sliding
surfaces of machines using the compressed air by combining centralized greasing system with an air supply line.
There are two types of spray valves, SN-O model valve that will spray a fixed amount of grease or oil discharged from the distributor by opening
the air line, and SN-2 model valve that will spray the lubricant with the compressed air by the operation of air electromagnetic valve mounted
externally during the lubrication operation of the distributor. Also, there are two types of spray patterns, vertical and horizontal.

Note 1. Above air consumption is the atmospheric pressure conversion value for 0.4 MPa.
2. Relationship between the nozzle direction and spray pattern will be crossed.
3. Use grease with consistency of NLGI. No. 00 to No. 1 (ASTM #430 to 310). Grease Spray pattern
with high viscosity cannot be sprayed sufficiently. (Air pressure 0.4 MPa)
4. Set the distance between the nozzle and spray area to 100 to 400 mm.
5. Mount an air filter and decompression valve on the air supply pipe, and adjust the
pressure to 0.3 to 0.5 MPa. Spray particles of the grease become larger when the air
pressure is low. 110
6. SN-2B, 2H model spray valves do not have a built-in air valve, so mount the
electromagnetic valve separately. Nozzle (SN-2B, 0B models)
7. Timing of grease and air spray on SN-0 model is adjusted with the air valve itself.
Approx. 220

Readjustment of the air valve may be necessary depending on the brand of the grease
or length of the pipes.
8. When spraying to a wide gear, multiple spray valves are necessary. In general,
distributor and spray valve are mounted on a panel, creating a spray panel set.

Grease Filling Pump

Grease filling pump is a pump to transfer lubricant from the 16 kg can or drum can to the reservoir for the lubricating pump.
By using this filling pump, filling operation becomes simplified and it prevents contamination of grease by air or dirt, so be sure to use this filling
pump when supplying grease into the reservoir of the lubricating pump. Grease filling pump has various models as shown below depending on
the applicable grease capacity and driving method.
