Lincoln, a leader in lubrication equipment technology, has made significant improvements to its Model 203 Automatic Lubrication Pump. The pump's new bayonet connector provides extra protection from weather and wash downs, reduces installation time and allows for the easy addition of optional monitoring capability. The Model 203's new UV-resistant reservoir remains clear in the toughest environments.
The line offers reliable performance in harsh environments with many models that automatically monitor for low lubricant levels and feedline blockage. The compact 203 is designed to be used in progressive automated lubrication systems, such as Lincoln's Quicklub¨ system and works well in environments ranging from -13 to 158 degrees Fahrenheit (-25 to 70 degrees Celsius). The unit operates with grease up to NLGI #2 or oil of at least 40 cSt (centistokes).
The pump consists of a housing with integrated motor, reservoir with stirring paddle and pump element. The clear reservoir allows for visual monitoring of the lubricant level and is available in two-, four- and eight-liter sizes. Customers may choose from either a grease- or oil-pumping product.
Several of the new 203s feature low-level sensors that allow continual monitoring of the reservoir lubricant supply, while others have the sensors plus cost-saving microprocessor controls. Utilizing the microprocessor-controlled 203s reduces the cost of control boards and allows the use of EPROM technology, which permanently saves control and monitor settings when electric power is lost.
Introduced only a few years ago, the Quicklub 203 was recognized quickly for its ability to extend machinery maintenance intervals. Since that time, several major construction and agricultural machinery OEMs have begun to install the unit as the factory standard on their equipment. The 203 is especially popular with hammer breaker OEMs because the pump lubricates hammer drills continually, eliminating the need to shut hammers down every two hours for regreasing.
