Abstract
A lubrication distribution assembly is provided. The lubrication distribution assembly includes a lubrication metering device, which includes a piston. The lubrication distribution assembly also includes a sensor and a controller. The sensor automatically detects a piston stroke length of the piston over at least two movement cycles of the piston. The controller receives the piston stroke length from the sensor, sets an operating point of the piston based on the piston stroke length, and controls the lubrication metering device by utilizing the set operating point.
Claims10
A lubrication distribution assembly comprising:
- a lubrication metering device comprising a piston,
- a sensor automatically detecting a piston stroke length of the piston over at least two movement cycles of the piston, and
- a controller receiving the piston stroke length from the sensor, setting an operating point of the piston based on the piston stroke length, and controlling the lubrication metering device by utilizing the set operating point,
- wherein the controller determines an average piston stroke length for setting the operating point of the piston.
