Lubri-Cup™ Automatic Lubricant Dispensers

Correct lubrication, is critical to the performance of your industrial equipment. Reliability Engineers, Lubrication Technicians, Production and Process Managers are aware that lubrication is a crucial step and a wise investment to optimize equipment life. Chesterton lubricators can provide the best lubrication solutions for plant equipment. Both over- and under-lubrication, abrasive and water contamination can lead to premature bearing failure, costly repair and downtime. The best practice is to apply the correct engineered lubricant in small, metered amounts over a defined period of time. Chesterton Lubri-Cup™ is state-of-the-art, precision designed, cost effective alternative to manual lubrication of bearings used in electric motors, generators, compressors, fans and blowers, pumps, agitators and mixers. Lubri-Cup™ can also be used on slideways, linear actuators, open gears, rail systems, bushings and journals. The robust equipment design allows for use even in the harshest environments, found in the following applications in:

Lubri-Cup™ EMChesterton® Lubri-Cup™ EM is an automatic, single-point or multiple point lubricant dispenser available in 250cc or 500cc sizes. The innovative Lubri-Cup EM dispenser is designed to ensure reliable lubrication and at the same time cut lubrication costs with an advanced computerized control system. It consists of a vertical positive displacement feed pump, motor/gear set, and microprocessor allowing typical operating pressure of 30kgf/cm² (425psi) or up to 60kfg/cm² (850psi) when needed. Lubri-Cup EM is ideal for hard to reach/ hazardous locations via its remote installation capability.

EM Product Characteristics

• Easy to use, simple to install and operate • Programmable: Operates up to 12 months, or 24 months ( See page 9 for details)• Replaceable grease service packs with Alkaline or Lithium Battery packs• Service Temperature: -15°C to 60°C (5°F to 140°F) Alkaline Battery

-40°C to 60°C (-40°F to 140°F) Lithium Battery• Lubricates up to 8 bearings - up to 6m (19ft)• Single point dispensing up to 10m (33ft)• Diagnostic LCD Display push Button Setting• 250cc unit is programmable for 125cc or 250cc

Lubri-Cup™ EM-S & EM-SP

Same great features of the Lubri-Cup EM, with the ability to operate in synchronization when installed on stand by or intermittently operated equipment. The unit will dispense the preset amount of grease only when the machine is operating. Lubri-Cup EM-S and SP units go into ‘stand by’ mode until the equipment returns to operation. EM-S utilizes the internal battery for power and synchronizes via an external switch. The EM-SP is externally powered by the equipment or PLC. There is no need to replace the battery pack for up to 5 years.

Lubri-Cup™ EM Service Packs

The Lubri-Cup™ EM automatic lubricant dispensers are developed to last multiple cycles through the use of replaceable service packs. As a result, one of the most significant benefits of the Lubri-Cup™ electromechanical lubricators is the substantial accumulated savings over the cost of manual lubrication while providing assurance of the most precise and reliable lubrication quality.

Replaceable Service Pack includes :

• A grease pouch of with Chesterton grease and volume of 250 or 500cc• An OEM battery pack: Standard DC 4.5V Alkaline or Optional DC 4.5V Lithium• A disposable dust cover and grease label

Keep Service Pack stored in a cool and dark place. The grease pouch and battery pack must always be replaced together at the end of each lubrication cycle to ensure reliable operation and guaranteed performance of the lubricator.

Legend and Grease Change RecommendationsC = Compatible A = Borderline I = Incompatible

New grease can be applied as normal without purging, cleaning or flushing lines or bearing housings.

Centralized grease lines should be disconnected and the new grease pumped through. Grease in bearing housing does not need be removed. Manual greasing can be done as normal without additional consideration. Expect 10% change in grease thickness until all old grease is worked through.

All grease lines and bearings must be purged of the old greasebefore installing the new grease. Some bearing designs havedrain plugs which can be removed and the new grease pushedthrough until seen at the drain.

Lubri-Cups may be set to the desired dispensing Mode (Monthly) setting based on an approximation of Shaft Diameter and RPM. The selection guides are based on clean, dry and mechanically sound equipment conditions operating between 0°C (32°F) and 50°C (122°F). Please read all precautionary statements associated with the tables.

As Electric Motors require significantly less grease than Housing or Pillow Block mounted bearings, please use the Electric Motor chart below.

Remote multi-point lubrication is available with the Lubri-Cup EM using a divider block. It is recommended to test the back pressure of the bearing, lube lines, and divider block after assembly using a grease gun connected to a pressure gauge. Ensure the break-off pressure is below the average operating pressure of 30kgf/cm2 (425psi). Flow is directed as the valve responds to pump actuation. (See diagram). The Lubri-Cup EM and Divider Block allows for remote installation up to 6m (20ft). Safety, Reliability, and Simplicity with the Lubri-Cup EM and Divider Block system.

Multi-Point Remote Installation Warnings: For remote installation, keep the maximum distance at 6m (20ft) or less.

Do not plug any open ports on the divider block. The kit or divider block must be ordered with the appropriate number of points required. For more information on the divider block,please refer to the Multi-Point Remote Installation Manual. Use the lithium battery pack for specific applications such as: extremely cold temperature,long period mode setting (18M,24M), or multi-point remote installation for EM 500ml unit.

Remote Installation - Divider Blocks

The Chesterton Lubri-Cup EM, EM-S and EM-SP are powerful enough to dispense lubricating grease up to 8 bearing points. The available DIVIDER BLOCK is internally chambered and features a series of progressive/sequential valves to direct the lubricant to desired bearing.

For additional information on remote installation/divider blocks, please consult Chesterton Application Engineering.
