The Single-Point Lubricator (SPL) is one of how to
extend the life of bearing in manufacturing
operation. This technology was introduced into the
industry more than 50 years ago.
SPL manufacturers have continuously introduced
technological advances that have increased the life
of bearings and the reliability of single-point
lubricators. Original spring type lubricators (old
compression grease cup) and Traditional gas charged
lubricators (Chemical Reaction Type) are being
replaced by New Generation of Electrochemical SPL.
Pulsarlube-V, New Generation of Electrochemical,
Automatic SPL, is designed to ensure a precise,
predictable, and fresh supply of lubricant in a wide
variety of industrial applications. Pulsarlube-V
delivers self-contained (pre-packed) lubricant,
under pressure, by means of a controlled
electrochemical reaction that generates inert
Nitrogen (N2) gas. Unlike traditional gas charged
lubricators using combustible Hydrogen (H2) gas
generation as the result of metal/acid reaction,
Pulsarlube-V uses inert Nitrogen gas generation
controlled by Microprocessor, which is similar to
safety airbag technology widely used in modern
vehicles.
Pulsarlube-V unit has a variable dispensing rate
from 1 to 12 month in a single unit. It is
controlled by a microprocessor to ensure reliable
and predictable lubricant delivery. Selectable rate
of lubricant discharge is pre-programmed to meet the
specification of bearing and equipment manufacturer.
However, it is important to recognize that,
regardless of gas type SPL unit selected,
understanding general characteristics of Gas type
SPL is needed.

The single point lubricator (SPL) is an
automatic lubrication method widely used in
modern manufacturing operation. Since their
introduction more than 50 years ago, SPLs have
undergone an extensive improvement process.
Original spring type lubricators (old
compression grease cup) were replaced by gas
charged automatic lubricators, and
battery-operated electromechanical lubricators
are now replacing gas charged lubricators. These
new SPLs offer more and more flexibility and
reliability than their predecessors have. Here
are the benefits and advantages of
electromechanically operated SPL over
traditional gas charged model.
Pulsarlube M, one of the most sophisticated
electromechanical SPL is designed to ensure
reliable lubrication and cut lubrication cost by
an advanced electronic control mechanism. It
consists of a vertical feed pump, motor/gear
set, and Microprocessor control system, which
makes outstanding operating pressure available
(20Kg-f/cm, 280psi, Typical). The lubricant is
supplied in either 125cc or 250cc Pulsarlube
grease pouches, which are replaceable along with
an Pulsarlube battery pack. Pulsarlube M offers
6 optional dispensing rates from 1/2(Half) to
12(Twelve) months in a single unit.

Pulsarlube M is designed to last through many
years of use. Over the years this can add up to
substantial savings over the cost of manual
lubrication and disposable one time use
lubricators (mostly traditional gas charged
products), while providing assurance of the
highest quality of lubrication achievable.
Pulsarlube M Service pack consists of grease
pouch (125cc or 250cc), a battery pack (4.5V
Alkaline), and disposable dust cover.
|
 |
|
Note : Pulsarlube M
grease pouch and battery pack must always be changed
at the same time. It is mandatory to ensure the
reliable operation of unit. |
|
| ㆍ |
Pulsarlube M unit has excellent remote
installation capability while traditional gas
charged SPL suffers. Sometimes space
restrictions will not allow a direct mount,
angle mount or extension mount. In other
circumstances, small fittings may not be suited
to direct mounting due to thread weight
limitations. It is also true there are many
applications where access is hazardous or
inconvenient, contamination or harsh
environments present. Where this occurs, the use
of remote mount is required.
It is ALWAYS preferable to minimize the length
of remote mounting. Pulsarlube M units should be
mounted as close to the bearing point as
possible.
Remote Installation Kit consists of :
1. Pulsarlube M Unit (125 or 250cc)
2-4, 7. Mounting Bracket Assembly (Red circled)
5. Pipe connector (1/4 or 1/8M)
6. Tube Fittings (at both ends)
8. Nylon Tubing 6mm O.D. (Pre-filled)
|

* Refer to figure 1: Remote Installation of
Pulsarlube M unit |
 |
 |
Multi-point Use |
For
applications where many lube points existing in
close proximity, Pulsarlube M can be used as
automatic lubrication system of up to 8 points using
progressive divider block.
System Elements :
1. Pulsarlube M Unit (125 or 250cc)
2-6. Mounting Bracket Assembly (Red
circled)
7. Pipe connector (1/4 or 1/8M)
8. Progressive Divider Block (4 to 8 ports)
9. Tube Fittings (at both ends)
10. Nylon Tubing 6mm O.D. (Pre-filled) |

* Refer to figure 2: Multi-point use of
Pulsarlube M unit using Progressive Divider Block
(up to 8 ports) |
 |
 |
General Guideline |
1. Keep
in close proximity to lube points.
2. All elements should be pre-filled with same or
compatible grease prior to installation.
3. Recommend using NLGI #1 grease for Multi point
use. |
 |
Typical Application |
| ◎ Bearings |
Typical
lube points for SPL are :
1. Taconite seal lubricant feed point
2. Housing, bearing &seal lubricant feed
point
3. Bearing central lubricant feed point
4. Housing, bearing &seal lubricant feed
point
5. Taconite seal lubricant feed point |
 |
| ◎ Electric
Motors |
 |
|
Electric motor lubrication is ideally
suited to the SPL concept. However,
electric motor bearings are lubricated
less frequently than other bearing
types. Over lubrication can result in
greater problems than under lubrication.
When Pulsarlube M unit is used on
electric motors, ensure to follow
manufacturers recommendation and that
the bearing housing has a grease vent
port.
|
| ◎ Pumps |
 |
|
Pumps are one of the most common
applications for SPL. They are subject
to high water, chemical and corrosive
material contamination. It is mandatory
to maintain the constant flow of grease
to seal out contaminants. If the seal
can be effectively lubricated and purged
by use of Pulsarlube M, the bearing
failures and maintenance budget can be
dramatically reduced.
|
| ◎ Conveyors |
 |
|
Conveyors are widely used in cement,
mining, food/beverage, and brewery
industry. They are key elements to keep
the high productivity and efficiency of
manufacturing operation and subject to
heavy dust/dirt, high water, chemical
and other corrosive material
contamination. Pulsarlube M unit is
typically fitted to the bearing housings
to lubricate bearings.
The typical arrangement is ;
One bearing and two seals per drive side
housing.
One bearing and one seal per non driven
housing.
(Housings are generally fitted with
labyrinth or taconite type seals.)
|
| ◎ Agitators &
Shafts |
|
Mainly, Agitators are for vertically
mounted shafts to manufacturing, process
and storage tanks. In the pulp and paper
industry, they are for horizontally
mounted shafts to drive paddles.
Pulsarlube M units are fitted to the
bearing housings to lubricate the
bearings. Applications can be subject to
high water, chemical and corrosive
material contamination. Pulsarlube M
provides a constant flow of grease to
seal out contaminants.
|
 |
| ◎
Journals(Plain Bearings) |
 |
|
Plain bearings operate on a total loss
system. They are typically used on auger
shafts, gear support shafts or for power
transmission. Applications can be
subject to heavy load, high water,
chemical and corrosive material
contamination.
When Pulsarlube M unit is used, please
consider that Journal bearings usually
require a higher lubricant volume than
anti friction bearings of the same
diameter.
|
| ◎ Sheaves |
 |
|
Sheave applications are diverse and can
include wire rope applications in Mining
equipments, Elevators, Cranes, Hoists,
and Cable belts etc. The working
environment to these applications can
have access restrictions and heavily
contaminated environments. Pulsarlube M
unit is used to lubricate sheave support
bearings and also to apply lubricant to
wire ropes.
|
|
|
|
|
 |
Understanding Backpressure
|
|
The pressure generated is a response to
resistance to flow presented to the unit. The
most common back pressure causes are:
Accumulation of deposits in bearings or passages
ㆍSeals that will not permit flow
ㆍLubricant feed ports between the unit and the
bearing
ㆍFittings with small feed passages
ㆍLine pressure losses in remote mount
installations
While impractical to do anything about the
design of the bearing arrangement, Pulsarlube M
units should be mounted as close to the bearing
point as possible. The shorter the distance the
grease is required to travel, the less back
pressure presented by the feed passage. IF IN
DOUBT, test backpressure with grease gun
connected to pressure gauge prior to
installation. This testing also makes sure to
fill the grease passage with same or compatible
grease.

 |
Step7.
Install the filled 500cc cartridge
onto the base of the lubricator by
turning clockwise. |
 |
Step8.
Install cartridge lid by turning
clockwise. |
 |
Step9.
The assembly procedure has been
completed. |
|
| 1. |
Make sure the lubrication point is
manually lubricated with a grease
gun to ensure that the bearing has a
clear passage way before installing
your 500cc unit. It is recommended
that this procedure be conducted
using either the same or a
compatible lubricant with what is
contained in the grease cartridge of
the Pulsarlube M 500cc unit |
| 2. |
If any doubts exist in regards to a
clear lubrication flow, test the
backpressure of the bearing with a
grease gun connected to a pressure
gauge. Ensure that the break - off
pressure is below 500 psi (approx.
35 kg-f/cm2: 34.5 bar). Note that it
is always desirable to keep the
constant delivery pressure as low as
possible |
| 3. |
Insert the Battery Pack into the
battery compartment of the main
unit. (Make sure that the battery is
locked in place after insertion by
turning the metal clip on top). Turn
top housing clockwise until you hear
the top housing "click". Open top
housing cap and place the pointed
open end of the grease pouch over
the lubricators' top check valve and
Turn Top housing cap until you hear
the top housing "click" |
| 4. |
Turn the Pulsarlube ML 500 unit ON
by depressing the POWER button for 2
seconds. To confirm that the LCD is
working, make sure that the Red LED
blinks once as soon as you press the
"power" button. The unit is working
as long as the LCD displays
information. |
| 5. |
To test that the unit is functioning
properly, simply follow the TEST
MODE PROCEDURE:
Press the POWER button first (for
2 seconds) to turn on unit, and then
press the TEST button for 2 seconds.
The unit will begin to start
dispensing grease. The unit will
operate continuously in Purge mode
and go through an entire cycle of
(approximately 2 min).
To deactivate the TEST MODE
FUNCTION, press the TEST button
again. The unit will stop testing
within the next 20 seconds. If the
unit is malfunctioning or if you
encounter any difficulty, please
refer to the troubleshooting guide.
|
| 6. |
Depress the MODE button to set the
dispensing rate. Each time the MODE
button is depressed, the dispensing
rate changes in ascending order
i.e. 1▶2▶4▶6▶12▶18▶24▶ H. Note: (H =
Half month.)
Note
: If you are unable to program a
setting and a lock icon is
displayed, press the mode button for
2 seconds until the lock
icon disappears. Program your
lubricator. The unit will
automatically lock
60 seconds after you stop
pressing any of the 3 programming
buttons. |
| 7. |
Remove the grease nipple on lube
point. Wrap some Teflon tape on the
lubricator tip and install a 3/8"
female NPT or BSP adaptor to bottom
of unit. The other end of the
adaptor must have the correct size
of your zirk fitting. Make sure that
the unit is snugly tightened to
adaptor. The 3/8" brass thread of
the unit is vibration proof. In
other words, it ensures that the
fitting will not snap off at the tip
even under severe vibration or shock
loads. |
| 8. |
For installations that involve
extreme vibration, excessive heat,
or service locations that are
considered hazardous, we recommend
you use a remote mounting bracket
(clamping device) and " line no
longer than 10ft. (if possible) that
is available at Pulsarlube.
IMPORTANT
: Please make sure that the " line
is pre-filled, prior to
installation. Remote installation of
over 10ft will
reduce the ability of the unit to
dispense against elevated
backpressure. |
