SKF today announced the introduction of the Electric Cartridge Pump ECP. Developed to lubricate bearings and linear guides in small machines, this reliable pump includes an integrated pressure-relief valve that enables its use in single-line lubrication systems such as SKF MonoFlex. The Electric Cartridge Pump ECP is a cost effective and simple to operate lubrication solution, packaged in a modern, space-saving design. Utilizing easy to exchange 380 ml cartridges (12.8 fl. oz.), it is compatible with both oil and fluid greases. This electrically driven piston pump uses 24 V DC and is controlled by an external programmable logic controller (PLC) for convenience. In addition, the Electric Cartridge Pump ECP is capable of manually activating a lubrication cycle and can be used with an optional, integrated level switch to monitor the fill level of the cartridge. The new ECP pump will be shown at Jimtof, the Japan International Machine Tool Fair (17-22 November 2016), Tokyo. Visit SKT at Jimtof: West Hall 2, booth W2054.
