The invention relates to a lubricant tank (B), in particular, for a lubrication pump (P), with an outer envelope (1a, 1b, 1c), defining an inner cross-section, constant over the length (L1 to L3), a displaceable follower piston (T) arranged in a sealed manner within the envelope for variable definition of the lubricant storage volume (F) and a spring arrangement (A), supported in the lubricant tank (B), tensioning the follower piston (T) in the longitudinal direction of the envelope on the side away from the lubricant collector chamber and a lubrication system (S) with such a lubricant tank. According to the invention, such lubricant tanks and lubrication systems can have a high operational reliability with economical and simple construction, whereby the spring arrangement (A) comprises at least two spring units (E1, E2, E3), arranged in the longitudinal direction and acting in series.
Lubricant tank, in particular for a lubrication pump, with an outer envelope defining an inner cross-section constant over the length, a displaceable follower piston arranged in a sealed manner within the outer envelope for variable definition of a lubricant storage volume, and a spring arrangement supported in the lubricant tank, tensioning the follower piston in the longitudinal direction of the outer envelope on a side away from the lubricant collector chamber, characterized in that the spring arrangement comprises at least two spring units arranged in the longitudinal direction and acting in series.
Lubrication system for a variable working position relative to the gravitation direction, with a lubrication pump and a lubricant tank functionally connected to the lubrication pump, comprising an outer envelope with an inner cross-section constant over the length and a follower piston displaceable therein, characterized in that in the lubricant tank in the outer envelope the follower piston is tensioned by a spring arrangement, and that the spring arrangement comprises at least two spring units arranged in the longitudinal direction and acting in series.
A device comprising:
The device of claim 14, wherein a first of the at least two spring units comprises a coil spring in single or multiple design.
