  • Assembling series of distribution and measuring units for a lubricating oil system and for manufacturing the principal components of the series
    Patent number: 5197568
    Abstract: An assembling series of distribution and measurement units for a lubricating oil system for machinery having several bearings includes at least one distribution beam (1-3) equipped with a longitudinal channel and input connections (11,16). Each beam (1-3) includes two or more output connections (9) placed at right-angles to the channel for communication with flowmeters (22) and other components. The series achieves lubricating oil distribution and provides measurement units for various applications. The series reduces in-situ pipe and construction work and replaces it with standardized installation work. The series in accordance with the invention includes at least two differently-sized distribution beams (1-3) and at least two differently-sized feed beams (5-8) to feed several distribution beams (1-3).
