Page 4: The Memolub ® Hps
The MEMOLUB HPS is an automatic, self-contained, electro-mechanical lubricator. The "HPS" in its name stands for High Pressure System. It ejects grease or oil under programmable control at an output pressure of 350psi. There are three available models: Cartridge Capacity... -
Page 5: The Memo
The MEMO regulates the rate of grease output of the ® MEMOLUB HPS. It consists of a brass adapter, a black plastic timing-ring holder, and three plastic timing rings (one white, one red, and one black). The MEMO is permanently fitted onto the bearing or other component, and all ®... -

Page 8: The Multi-Point Lubrication System
® Using a MEMOLUB distribution block, the MEMOLUB HPS Multi-Point System can service from 2 to 12 lubrication points. The distribution block is completely sealed to keep out airborne contaminants, dust, and dirt, and works on the principal of piston valves. During operation, a series of pistons inside the block is actuated by the flow of lubricant from the ®... -
Page 9: Coupler Bridging Elements
® On occasion it may be desired to retrofit a previously-purchased MEMOLUB lubricator into a multi-point system, or change the number of outlet ports in a multi-point system that was previously installed. When this occurs, individual distribution blocks and coupler bridging elements are available from PLI. -
Page 10: Etrofitting Amemolub
Retrofitting a MEMOLUB ® A MEMOLUB HPS can be retrofit in the field to a 2- point Splitter-MEMO. Retrofitting is accomplished by removing the black timing ring holder from the brass fitting of the MEMO and placing it on the Splitter- MEMO. -

When in ® doubt, consult your tube supplier, your MEMOLUB distributor, or PLI. PLI offers tubing of various materials and diameters. This tubing is sold empty (up to 100 feet) or pre-filled with the lubricant of your choice (up to 30 feet). -
Page 15: Installation
Installing the MEMO Before installing the MEMO on the bearing, the user should manually lubricate the ® component with the same grease as the one contained in the MEMOLUB . Caution: Not ® all lubricants are compatible. When in doubt, contact PLI, your MEMOLUB distributor, or your lubricant supplier. - Page 16 • Prime the MEMOLUB HPS (if necessary) with a hand grease gun. This ® step is required only if the MEMOLUB was permitted to operate without a cartridge in place or operate with an empty cartridge.

Page 20: No Lubricant Is Coming Out Of The Memolub Hps
No lubricant is coming out of the MEMOLUB ® If the MEMOLUB HPS does function, and no grease comes out of the unit when doing a manual test, consider the following: • Is there a lubricant cartridge installed? If not, recharge the unit with a cartridge as described in Section 6.3. -
Page 21: Lubricant Does Not Get To The Application
Lubricant does not get to the application ® If the MEMOLUB HPS does function and empty correctly, however no lubricant is getting into the component: a) Tubing is damaged and should be replaced. b) A fitting is not correctly screwed in or the seal may be missing. -

Page 29: Point
The actual volume of lubricant flowing from each output port during the period of one day is controlled by the amount of lubricant that has been programmed to be ejected by the MEMOLUB Lubricator. To program the MEMOLUB to eject the required volume of lubricant for a multi-point application, it is necessary to determine the daily volume of grease required by all of the bearings attached to the system. -
Page 30: 2-Point Splitter Program Settings
Each output strokes ejects .635 cc's of lubricant. This lubricant is divided between the two output ports. The Stroke Limiting Washers used with the Single Point MEMOLUB® to adjust the Volume of output per stroke are NOT used with the MEMOLUB®HPS 2-Point Splitter System. -

SPLTIN-0305-PG4 Copyright © 2003 PLI, LLC All Rights Reserved How It Works The Valve Stem is maintained in the upper position by the spring. When the MEMOLUB® HPS ejects lubricant, the MEMOLUB® HPS pump piston simultaneously pushes the Valve Stem downwards. Lubricant flows through the hollow Valve Stem and, as shown in stage 1, out through Outlet 1. -

Lubricant cartridge replacement normally takes less than 1 minute. The MEMOLUB® EX may be used as a single point lubricator, either mounted directly on the bearing or remotely using pipe or flexible tubing.

Page 37: Memolub® Epc
The 12 inch cable that extends from the bottom of the lubricator serves to interrupt the electric circuit to the drive motor. When the circuit is closed the MEMOLUB® first goes through an output cycle and then proceeds to operate under its own preset program control. When the circuit is opened the lubrication process stops. -
Page 38: Memolub® Eps
Control of the lubrication injection cycles occurs in one of two ways. • The MEMOLUB® EPS is periodically supplied with 4.5 VDC power by a PLC under program control. Lubrication output cycles of the MEMOLUB® can be based upon hours of machine operation, a count of machine cycles or any other desired criteria. -

The MEMOLUB 24VDC-PLC is available in three sizes: the Standard (Model 120), the Mega (Model 240), and the Giga (Model 480). Like the HPS model, it is reusable with available replacement lube cartridges. These cartridges are carefully filled at the factory using a precise centrifuging process that eliminates air pockets and contamination. -
