Progressive distributor SX-1

Progressive distributors SX-1 are distributor devices with

hydraulic sequence control whose plungers of lubricant
Progressive distriburor SX-1 with three delivery
supplied are controlled such that the lubricant escapes elements and six outlets:
forcibly and in sequence from the individual outlets. The
distributor will block if there is trouble in the lubricant flow,
such as e.g. clogging of the lubricant line or twisting of the
bearing shell, within the distributor or in the lubricating line
system. This blocking is used to monitor the distributors.
With hand-operated pumps, such distributor blockage will
present a nearly insurmountable backpressure. With
automatic pumps such as the EP-1 electrical pump, the
lubricant is sprayed off the pressure relief valve.

The progressive distributors are manufactured in a

variable plate design. This has the advantage that the
distributor can be extended or shortened as desired
depending on the number of lubricating points. Because
of this plate design, it is also possible to assemble
individual central elements (dosing elements) with
different deliveries per plunger stroke to one overall
progressive distributor.
The different deliveries per plunger stroke are achieved by
different plunger diameters.
For perfect functioning, a progressive distribu-tor will
need at least three plungers, i.e. at least three delivery Dimensional drawing:

 Progressive distributor SX-1
Functional description

In detail, the progressive distributors consist of an initial Figure A

element AE (without a plunger), a central element ME and a
final element EE (without a plunger) which are combined to
form distributor blocks by means of tension rods with
serrated lock washers and nuts. The individual elements
are sealed by means of O-rings.

The lubricant flows via the distributor inlet through all

distributor plates to the plunger (I) (Fig. A). Plunger (I) is
displaced to the left and the lubricant is pressed from the left
surge cham-ber of the delivery plunger to outlet 1 (Fig. B).

Subsequently, the dosing plungers (II) and (III) are Pressure chamber
progressively displaced and the lubricant is delivered to
the outlets 2 and 3. After displacement of plunger (III), the Figure B:
lubricant is directed to the left side of the delivery plunger (I)
(Fig. C) and from the right surge chamber of the delivery
plunger to outlet 4.

Subsequently, delivery plungers (II) and (III) are

displaced and the lubricant is pressed to outlet 5 and 6.
© BEKA 2012 All rights reserved!

Figure C:

After the delivery plunger (III) has been displaced, the

lubricant is routed back to the right side of the delivery
plunger (Fig. A), and a new cycle of the progressive plunger
distributor commences. The function thus described is
repeated as long as necessary for the lubricant to be
supplied to the progressive distributor.
