Abstract: A lubricating tube and a lubrication system are configured to lubricate an apparatus having a rolling component. The lubrication system includes a fluid reservoir containing a fluid, a fluid line coupled to the fluid reservoir; and the lubricating tube, which is disposed between the fluid line and the rolling component. The lubricating tube includes a rigid cylindrical body surrounding a cavity and having an outer circumferential surface. An inlet of the lubricating tube is coupled to the fluid line and provides fluid communication between the fluid line and the cavity. A plurality of ports is disposed on the outer circumferential surface and is configured to dispense the fluid to the rolling component. A location of each port of the plurality of ports from the inlet is customizable.

Abstract: A conveyor condition monitor, for use with a conveyor comprising a plurality of trollies running along a conveyor rail and linked to one another by a chain link system, is disclosed. The monitor comprises a conveyor monitoring station and a first deformation sensor. The deformation sensor is in communication with the conveyor monitor, and is adapted to notify the conveyor monitor of the presence of a deformed trolley in the conveyor.

Abstract: A conveyor condition monitor, for use with a conveyor comprising a plurality of trollies (12) running along a conveyor rail (14) and linked to one another by a chain link system, is disclosed. The monitor comprises a conveyor monitoring station (3) and a first deformation sensor (5a, 5b). The deformation sensor (5b) is in communication with the conveyor monitor, and is adapted to notify the conveyor monitor of the presence of a deformed (13b) trolley (12) in the conveyor.
