Abstract
The progressive distributor contains a control piston which is slidable in a cylinder. The piston contains a main channel and a plurality of radially disposed distribution channels for distributing lubricant. The cylinder has feed channels which are aligned with feed channels in a housing of a machine part to be lubricated and are arranged in offset relation to the distribution channels of the piston. The respective distribution channels and feed channels are arranged so that during movement of the piston in the cylinder, the various feed channels are progressively supplied with lubricant.
Claims12
A lubricant distributor comprising
- a housing having a longitudinal axis and a plurality of feed channels disposed longitudinally along said axis and in axially spaced part relation to each other at a given spacing;
- and
- a piston movably mounted within said housing, said piston including an axially disposed main channel for receiving lubricant and a plurality of radially disposed distribution channels in communication with said main channel to receive lubricant therefrom, said distribution channels being disposed longitudinally along said axis in axially spaced apart relation to each other at a spacing different from said given spacing and aligned with said feed channels whereby upon movement of said piston in said housing, each said distribution channel is progressively aligned with a respective one of said feed channels.
A lubricant distributor comprising
- a housing having a longitudinal axis and a plurality of feed channels disposed longitudinally along said axis and in axially spaced apart relation to each other at a given spacing;
- and
- at least one control slide valve mounted in said housing, said valve including a cylinder and a piston slidably mounted in said cylinder, said piston having a main channel disposed therein in axially parallel relation for receiving lubricant and a plurality of distribution channels in communication with said main channel to receive lubricant therefrom, said distribution channels being disposed longitudinally along said axis in axially spaced apart relation to each other at a spacing different from said given spacing and aligned with said feed channels whereby upon movement of said piston in said housing, each distribution channel is progressively aligned with a respective one of said feed channels.
