Operating Principle Classic Electro Lube
When one
of the selector switches is closed, an electro-chemical cell
is activated, and an electrochemical reaction takes place by
which electrical energy is converted into nitrogen gas. The
gas is trapped in a hermetically sealed bellows-type gas chamber.
As the gas is produced, an internal pressure builds up, which
is applied against a piston. The piston then forces the lubricant
out of the cylinder and into the lube point. The strength of
the electrical current determines the amount of gas produced
which, in turn, controls the rate of lubricant flow and the
length of time the Electro-Luber™ will operate.
To activate the Electro-Luber, the user merely selects the
dispensing time and amount of lubricant required, then clicks
the appropriate switch(es) at
the top of the unit. A "BLIP" light is also activated. This light
flashes every 15 to 20 seconds, signaling that the system is in working order.
