3.4 Functional description NOTE The relevant figures for "Single-line centralized lubrication system" can be seen in section 3.2 Overview The ECP piston pump unit is designed to supply single-line centralized lubrication systems. A delivery piston, which is driven by an electric motor, feeds the lubricant to the pump outlet via the control valve switched simultaneously.
Page 16
When using both lubricant outlets on the ECP, this delivery rate is divided indefinitely on both connected lines. SKF therefore recommends using the ECP only in conjunction with suitable SKF single-line metering devices.
