Flow limiter for oil circulating lubrication system
SKF Lubrication Systems Germany AG
The task of a flow limiter is to divide up the volumetric flow of the main line into parallel individual volumetric flow quantities and to "limit" these according to requirements, or to keep them constant.
The volumetric flow generated is independent of the system pressure and virtually indepen-dent of viscosity.
The SP/SMB9 flow limiter was developed specially for mounting plates. The advantage of this design is its simple and compact construction.
Using interchangeable plug-in nozzles, the volumetric flow of the flow limiter can be set stepwise from 0.09 to 8.18 l/min.
That makes it possible to adjust the volumetric flow rates at a later date.
The SP/SMB9 series comes with a visual/electronic gear wheel-type flow indicator with a specific flow of 12.0 ml per revolution of the gears.
