System Controls
Selecting the right controls for your automated lubrication system is one of the last steps in the design process. Several
different models may be chosen to control power-operated pumps, depending on the degree of automation and moni-
toring required. Your Lincoln representative will assist you in specifying the correct model.
Options range from simple timers to fully automated system controllers and monitors. Basic timers allow you to set the
interval between lubrication cycles. More sophisticated monitors control the frequency of lubrication, oversee system
performance, and can sense lubricant flow to each bearing while showing system status and alarms on a LCD display
panel. Monitors may be interfaced with machine control systems to protect your equipment from harm.
You may customize your installation with air and lubricant filters to prolong system life, pressure gauges for monitoring,
shut-off valves to ease future maintenance, and even automated filling systems to utilize bulk lubricant storage.
All of these possibilities, and more, have made Lincoln Automated Lubrication Systems the choice of industry for over
80 years.

Sensor Assemblies
Sensor assemblies consist of a check body and lube sensor with attached 30'
cable. Cables are epoxy potted into the sensors for a watertight seal. Sensors
have a ³⁄₈" pipe thread for conduit connection and a Viton o-ring seal. Check
bodies terminate in a ¹⁄₈" NPTF male thread for attachment to a bearing or other
lubricant inlet. Maximum working pressure 6,000 psi (414 bar). Maximum wire
run from sensor to monitor is 500 feet (152m).
