1. Safety instructions 1.3 Qualified technical personnel Only qualified technical personnel may install, operate, maintain, and 1.1 General safety instructions repair the products described in the manual. Qualified technical per- sonnel are persons who have been trained, assigned and instructed The owner must ensure that safety information has been read by by the operator of the installation.
1.5 System pressure hazard points. Product may only be used following the specifications, techni- cal data and limits stated in this manual. Other use or use beyond this purpose is considered unintended. WARNING 1.9 Foreseeable misuse System pressure The product is pressurized during operation. The product A usage of the product differing from the aforementioned conditions must therefore be depressurized before starting assembly, and stated purpose is strictly prohibited.
2. Lubricants NOTE The manufacturer of the chain to be lubricated will specify the 2.1 General lubricant requirements for each point to be lubricated. You must make sure that the required quantity of lubricant is provided to the relevant lubricating point. If a lubricating point is insufficiently NOTE lubricated, the bearing may become damaged or jammed.
2.5 Danger relating to lubricants CAUTION Different lubricants must not be mixed together. Doing so can cause damage and require extensive cleaning of the products/centralized lubrication system. To prevent confu- sion, we recommend that you attach information indicating CAUTION the lubricant to be used on the lubricant reservoir. Centralized lubrication systems must be absolutely leak- free.
3 Design and function 3.3 Construction 3.3.1 Central unit 3.1 General The central unit († fig. 1) is a compact group comprising a reservoir CLK lubrication systems have a central unit and all electrical and mounted on a pump housing. hydraulic components necessary to operate a lubrication system by The pump housing houses an electromagnetic pump and an inte- airless oil projection.

3.3 Function A lubricant film is formed at the friction zones. It reduces the tempe- rature rising and therefore the part wear. In addition, it provides The CLK-type lubrication systems for conveyor chains generally extra protection against external pollution, by preventing the foreign comprise a piston pump with electromagnetic control, an oil reser- matter (dust, particles ...) to penetrate between the different parts.

6. Installation instructions WARNING All installation, setting, maintenance and repair works on the lubrication system must be carried out only when the conveyor is off duty. Working closed to a running conveyor chain may cause operator's injuries and/or important mate- rial damages.
6.2 Position CAUTION The projection nozzles and the proximity sensor operate in The system must be mounted in a way that protects it from humidity different temperature ranges. It is not therefore necessary and vibrations. It should also be easily accessible so that all other to check the ambient temperature and the working tempe- installation work can be carried out without hindrance.
6.3 Installation Fig. 6 System installation During installation, and more specifically when holes should be car- ried out, it is mandatory to observe the following points: 269 mm • During installation, do not damage the existing lines. • During installation, do not damage the other existing groups. •...

6.3.2 Nozzle installation 6.3.2.1 Nozzle adjustment The center distance between the two spay heads of a nozzle is min 4.5 mm and max 10 mm. The nozzle heads should be perfectly ver- tical to the lubrication points († fig. 9). Depending on the chain rol- ler configuration, you can adjust mechanically the center distance CAUTION between the nozzle heads by means of a 2,5 mm Allen wrench...

6.3.2.2 Nozzle mounting Fig. 11 To mount the projection nozzles, you can use the support provided for this purpose († fig. 10). Once the support is mounted, it is only possible to adjust horizontally the projection nozzle position. SKF recommends therefore to simulate the nozzle positioning with res- pect to the chain before mounting the support.
6.4 Hydraulic connections Fig. 13 Central unit output connection The lubrication line should be connected to the central unit so that no force can be transmitted to the unit once installed (no pressure on the connection). SW10 CAUTION The connectors and accessories used to connect the lubri- cant line must be compatible with the pump's maximum service pressure.
6.5.2 Fault output 6.5 Electrical connections The user can connect the fault output to an external light signal or to its control panel. The user can therefore get more easily the fault information. For the pin assignment on the fault output connector, see Table 3. WARNING Only qualified, instructed specialists who are authorized by 6.5.3 Proximity sensor...
