The problemConcept1 – Single Point Automatic Lubricator

Most in plant grease re-lubrication is carried out manually by a technician using a hand operated grease gun. This approach presents severalchallenges:

• Technicians time is often needed for high priority tasks• Lower priority yet critical equipment like motors, pumps and fans can often be neglected• Hard to reach areas also tend to be forgotten due to the difficulty of accessing them• There’s simply too many lubrication points and not enough time

Why Automatic Lubricators?Concept1 – Single Point Automatic Lubricator

Single point automatic lubricators are a great and affordable way to extend the effectiveness of your lubrication program. They provide continuousand consistent lubrication, eliminating over and under greasing issues to extend the operating life of your equipment.

They can be threaded directly to the lube port or remote mounted as needed. Doing so eliminates contamination issues, accidental risk of using theincorrect lubricant and provides easy access for lubrication technicians.

Preventing failures can save you a ton of money.

For example: A typical 8,000 hour, 100 hp motor costs an average of:

What if you could preventjust 4 failures per year?

Replace $32,000Repair $10,400+ no lost production+ no spare inventory consumed+ technicians time+ environmental impact+ and more!

• $8,800 to replace or• $2,600 to repair (rewind)

Concept1 – Single Point Automatic Lubricator

The electrochemical reaction

Concept1 is delivered ready to dispense lubricant. Gettinggoing is as easy as affixing the lubricator onto the lubepoint and setting your desired discharge period.

A 3mm allen key is used to select a discharge setting.This will activate the drycell technology that powers theConcept1 lubricator.

Once you pick a setting, the drycell starts generating gaswhich moves the white piston forward and pushes thelubricant out and into the lube point.

The setting you choose, 1 to 12 months, will determinehow fast all of the lubricant is dispensed into theapplication.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: I don’t know what grease I need, can you make a recommendation?

A: Because industrial equipment types vary so widely and are highly specialized Schaeffler rarely recommends a lubricant. The proper lubricant can generally be found in the OEM’soperation and maintenance manual.

Q: I don’t see my grease on your standard grease list, can you source my lubricant or interchange to one of yours?

A: Additional lubricants can be sourced, we’ll reach out to our grease supplier to check availability.

Q: What’s min order quantity, and can I break it?

A: 10 pcs, MOQ cannot be broken. 10 pcs is the min quantity where the warehouse can fulfill orders without having to pass any extra “handling & filling costs” on to customers.

Q: Can I expedite my order?

A: Yes, for a $150 fee we’ll fill and ship your order within 48 business hours. Shipment method (Std, 2nd day Air, Next Day Air) are at customer’s discretion.

Q: Can I refill the lubricators myself or do I need to order new lubricators each time?

A: You can refill the lubricators yourself, the drycell (gas producing tablet) will need to be replaced each time the lubricator is refilled. Replacement drycell packs are available for purchase.

Q: How many times can I refill the lubricator before I need to replace it?

A: Because of regular wear and tear, it is highly recommended you fill the lubricator no more than 3 times before replacing it.
