  • Patent number: 11506334
    Abstract: A lubrication distribution assembly is provided. The lubrication distribution assembly includes a lubrication metering device, which includes a piston. The lubrication distribution assembly also includes a sensor and a controller. The sensor automatically detects a piston stroke length of the piston over at least two movement cycles of the piston. The controller receives the piston stroke length from the sensor, sets an operating point of the piston based on the piston stroke length, and controls the lubrication metering device by utilizing the set operating point.

  • Publication number: 20220196002
    Abstract: A reciprocating piston lubrication pump with a component is proposed having an opening, which has at least one cylinder-shaped part, and with at least one piston, which comprises a radially outer surface built at least partly by a coating. A clearance between the radially outer surface of the piston and the component is between 1 ?m and 20 ?m when the radially outer surface is positioned in the cylinder-shaped part. The surface hardness of the coating at the radially outer surface is 2 to 10 times higher than that of a region of the component, which forms the cylinder-shaped part.
