How much vibration can the ELECTRO-LUBER™ withstand?

​

The ELECTRO-LUBER™ is an industrial designed product. On shakers it is the brass or metal adapter which usually breaks. Remote mounting this is recommended.

​

Can ELECTRO-LUBER™ be used on electric motors?

​

Yes, The ELECTRO-LUBER™ can be used on Electric Motors. We recommend on 20 HP and up.

​

Do I have to use all the ports with a distribution block on the Jack Luber or the Ultimate?

​

Yes, you have to use all the ports on the distribution block. Plugging the outlets will prevent the spindle from shuttling.

​

Can the units be refilled?

​

• The Originals (Gas units) are a onetime use.

• The Jack luber’s have a replaceable cartridge.

• The Ultimate is able to be refilled with a standard grease gun, or a, high volume air operated grease pump

• The Titan has a standard 400cc grease cartridge that can be replaced.

• The Titan Oiler can be refilled with Oil.

​
 

Can you explain more about the chemical reaction in your chemical/gas units?

​

The ELECTRO-LUBER™ has an electro-chemical reaction which can be controlled by resistors that control the generation of safe inert nitrogen gas. The use of resisters controls the rate of nitrogen gas being produced.

​

How do I know when to change out the ELECTRO-LUBER™?

​

You will be able to tell when the unit is empty by the orange being pushed to the bottom of the unit.

​

​

How does the ELECTRO-LUBER™ stand up to a corrosive environment?

​

ELECTRO-LUBER™ is made out of nylon that is chemically resistant to corrosion.

​

​

How much distance can you remote the Ultimate from? 

​

The Ultimate can be remote mounted at a maximum distance of 50ft; we recommend that larger lines be used when going long distances, due to grease separations.

​

​

 

How much pressure does the ELECTRO-LUBER™ produce?

​

ELECTRO-LUBER™ is capable of producing over 50 psi. The Jack series is capable of producing 200 psi continuously. The Ultimate’s and the Titan’s are capable of producing over 1500 psi.

​

Will heat or cold temperatures affect the flow rate of the ELECTRO-LUBER™? 

​

Heat and Cold temperatures do affect the flow rates of the lubers, but not significantly enough to negatively affect the performance of the ELECTRO-LUBER™, -40 degrees Celsius (-40 f) to 55 c (131 f)

​

Why is Class 1 certification important?

​

Products with Class 1 certification can be used in hazardous locations.

​

​

What maintenance is required?

​

Our units should be check for LED action, periodically, as a part of your general preventative maintenance.

​

​

What lubricant is the unit filled with?

​

Any lubricant the customer requests can be used. In some cases we would recommend using the Ultimate or the Jack luber because of inherent grease separation on long settings.

​

​

Are ATS products durable enough for mining?

​

Yes, we are certified by MSHA (Mining Safety and Health Authority) for use in all mines.

​

​

Are ATS products submersible? 

​

Yes, but only the Original series products. Up to 30 feet underwater with a weather cap.

​

​

Are the units strong enough to withstand the industrial environment?

​

Our units are made of a flexible, rugged, and durable nylon.

​

​

Can the units be used in an explosive environment? 

​

Yes, ELECTRO-LUBER™ is UL and ATEX Approved.

​

​

Can the units be mounted in any direction?

​

Yes, all units can be mounted in any orientation.

​

​

Can I use any oil in the ELECTRO-LUBER™ units?

​

Yes, we would recommend our oil resistor adapters.

​

​

Can I use a fluid grease with your oil brushes?

​

Yes, one thing to watch for is a build up from the grease.

​

​

If I have more than one ELECTRO-LUBER™ on a bearing, will all the units empty at the same time? 

​

Yes, typically within a day of each other.

​

​

Can the luber blow a bearing seal? If a seal is blown on a bearing, will the unit empty sooner?

​

​

No, ELECTRO-LUBER™ can only develop 60 psi; it takes between 275 psi to 450 psi to blow a bearing seal.

The unit will not empty sooner. ELECTRO-LUBER™ will prevent any contaminant from entering and wearing the bearing.

​

​

What is the LED for?

​

The LED is a good indication that the circuit is complete with the electrolyte, Also a good indication that the batteries are good.

​

​

What is the B switch for?

​

The B switch is applied to make the Luber go 50.000000 faster.

​

​

Will the batteries die out?

​

On a one year setting, the luber has enough power to last for 12 years for a Mini Luber.

​

​

In the electrochemical unit, how long does it take for enough pressure to build up for the unit to discharge?

​

On a one month setting, it will start to dispense immediately; on a twelve month setting, there is a two to three day delay.

​

 

Can units be placed on existing grease lines?

​

With a gas unit we would recommend changing the line. With an Ultimate or a Jack Luber there is no need because of the pressure they are capable of producing i.e.: The jack luber can produce 200psi and the Ultimate can produce 1500 psi.

​
 

I have used the spring-type lubricators. Are they like ELECTRO-LUBER™?

​

No, spring type Lubricators do not build up pressure.

​

​

Is it safe to dispose of an ELECTRO-LUBER™ unit? 

​

Yes, it is safe to dispose of a unit, but first remove and dispose of the battery. Please follow the disposal laws within your country.

​

​

What is the warranty of the ELECTRO-LUBER™?

​

ELECTRO-LUBER™ Lubricators come with a one year warranty.
