Lubrication of open tooth systems
Optimal supply of tooth systems is ensured over very long periods using a lubricating gearwheel. The lubricating system provides a variable lubricant supply.
Mode of operation
The lubricant passes through the axle and appropriate holes in the foam material. With just a low pressing pressure, the stored lubricant is released again. The PU foam used (open-cell) stores the lubricant and releases it again in very small dosing quantities. In this way, over lubrication is effectively prevented, as it is possible wear caused by a lack of lubrication.
Models
The lubricating gearwheels are available with both straight as well as sloping right/ sloping left teeth (module 2-30). From a width of 20mm, the lubricating gearwheel is comprised of several segments. Different fastening axles are available for the lubricating gearwheels. Dependent on the installation or supply of lubricant, right-angled or straight axles can be used.
