Abstract: A lubricant fitting unit is for supplying lubricant to an item of equipment and includes a housing connectable with the item of equipment and providing a lubricant flow path fluidly coupleable with the item of equipment. A lubricant flowmeter is connected to the lubricant flow path and measures lubricant flow through the flow path. The fitting unit preferably includes an integrated condition monitoring system coupled to the housing, which preferably includes a temperature sensor and/or a vibration sensor. Further, the fitting unit also preferably includes a wireless data transmission device for transmitting signals received from the integrated condition monitoring system to a controller device. Also, the fitting unit may include an energy harvester mounted within the lubricant flow path for converting a portion of the kinematic energy of the lubricant flowing through the lubricant flow path into power for recharging a power unit of the monitoring device.

Abstract: A spindle drive tool for adjusting a position of a head of a spindle relative to a piston of an electro-mechanical automatic lubrication system in which the spindle and piston are connected by complementary screw threads includes a mounting portion and a coupling portion connected to the mounting portion. The mounting portion includes a bearing surface having a spindle head inlet at a first end, a first cavity and a second cavity. The spindle head inlet opens into the first cavity, the first cavity has a cross section configured to couple with the spindle head such that the spindle head cannot rotate relative to the mounting portion while in the first cavity, and the second cavity is coaxially with the first cavity and has a larger cross section than the first cavity such that the spindle head can rotate freely in the second cavity.
