Counter pressure at the lubrication point

For optimal function of perma lubrication systems in applications, it is recommended to determine the counter pressure at the lubrication point. This counter pressure must be lower than the maximum pressure build-up of the lubrication systems to ensure the systems will completely empty or to prevent automatic pressure shut-off.

What are the reasons for higher counter pressure at the lubrication point?

Blocked grease lines through contamination or aged, hardened lubricant often cause a higher counter pressure at the lubrication point. In addition, full grease traps, plugged grease drain holes, restrictive lubrication channels or buckled grease lines also influence the flow behavior and counter pressure.

How can the required counter pressure at the lubrication point be determined?

You can find all information on this topic in the perma counterpressure video.
It shows you step by step how to measure the counter pressure at the lubrication point. To perform the pressure test, perma offers a special perma ACCESSORY KIT.

The solution: perma lubrication systems

perma Lubrication systems offer high pressure build-up to clear blockages. In addition, a special purge function allows for cleaning of the grease lines.
