Abstract: A housing for a lubricant supply device for supplying a consumer with a lubricant includes a storage space for the viscous medium and a pump space configured to contain a conveying pump for pumping the viscous medium from the storage space to a medium outlet. The storage space is at least partially defined by a side wall, a base wall and a cover wall, and the supply device also includes an outer wall overlying a portion of the storage space side wall and defining with the storage space side wall a first intermediate space. The storage space side wall includes a first opening providing fluid communication between the storage space and the intermediate space.

Abstract: A pressure switch comprises a housing having a cavity for conveying a pressurized fluid. The cavity extends from an inlet to an outlet and defines a flow path for the fluid. A pressure-transducing element is provided for measuring the fluid pressure. The pressure-transducing element is in fluid communication with the cavity and is at least partially disposed in the flow path between the inlet and the outlet. The pressure-transducing element has a cylindrical shape with a constant diameter and is partially disposed in a bore in the housing. The bore has a constant bore diameter. One end of the pressure-transducing element extends into the flow path.

Abstract: A method and a lubricant dosing pump for accurately dosing the small lubricant quantities. It is provided that at least two pistons are moved from an initial position relative to one another, thereby enlarging a dosing volume situated between them, and that thereby lubricant is conveyed through an inlet into the closing volume. Subsequently, the inlet is sealed and the two pistons situated opposite to each other in the stroke direction are moved together with the dosing volume until in a discharge position the dosing volume is connected with a discharge opening spaced apart from the inlet in the stroke direction. Then, the pistons are moved relative to each other, thereby reducing the dosing volume, and convey a predetermined dosing quantity of the lubricant through the discharge opening. Finally, the pistons are moved back into their initial positions.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for dosing a lubricant as well as a lubricant dosing pump. To be able to accurately dose the small lubricant quantities necessary in minimal quantity lubrication, it is provided according to the invention that at least two pistons are moved from an initial position relative to one another, thereby enlarging a dosing volume situated between them, and that thereby lubricant is conveyed through an inlet into the closing volume. Subsequently, the inlet is sealed and the two pistons situated opposite to each other in the stroke direction are moved together with the dosing volume until in a discharge position the dosing volume is connected with a discharge opening spaced apart from the inlet in the stroke direction. Then, the pistons are moved relative to each other, thereby reducing the dosing volume, and convey a predetermined dosing quantity of the lubricant through the discharge opening. Finally, the pistons are moved back into their initial positions.
