Outlet Connection; Inlet Connection - SKF VectoLub VE1B Installation And Commissioning Manual

4.2 Inlet connection

4.2.1 Lubricant inlet connection
If the VE1B unit has no integrated reservoir,
it has an inlet port G 1/4 for lubricant supply.
(† fig. 1 page 16)
4.2.2 Air inlet connection
The compressed air line must be connected
to the system in such a way that once
mounted, no force is applied to the pump (no
pressure on the connection).
It is important to use pipes that are suf-
ficiently long so that maintenance and re-
pairs can be carried out at a later time with-
out hindrance.
For the good function of a VE1B
!
unit, the air pressure inlet shall
not exceed 7 bars.

D A N G E R !
Before connecting the pump to
the compressed air feed ensure that the
main air valve is closed.
The compressed air quality must comply
with purity class 5 defined by DIN ISO
8573-1:
– Maximum particle size: 5 µm
– Maximum particle content: 10 mg/m
– Pressure dew point: 7 °C
– Maximum water content : 7 800 mg/m
– Residual oil content max.: 25 mg/m
The VE1B systems have can be connected
to the user's compressed air network via a G
1/4 port. The air inlet port is on the opposite
side of the one for lubricant.

4.3 Outlet connection

4.3.1 Connection coaxial line / outlet port
The coaxial line may be only con-
!
nected by authorized and trained
specialists.
The coaxial line has first to be
!
connected to the outlet port of the
VE1B, and then to the nozzle.
It is recommended to identify an
!
outlet in accordance with the noz-
3
zle it supplies, e.g. with tubes of different
colors, with identification rings or
3
others.

The coaxial line (from 1 to 5 m*) is connect-
ed to the VE1B outlet port by means of
quick-release connectors.
*) For greater line length, please contact the SKF service center.
