Centralized fluid grease lubrication for all rolling stock 

with pneumatically operated piston pump PEU-98 or PEU-99 and VKR distributors 

These systems are suitable for almost all trucks, buses, 

construction equipment, etc . equipped with compressed 

air. 

The pneumatically operated piston pumps PEU-98 or 

PEU-99 deliver approx. 50 cm3 (3 cu Inch) per pump 

stroke, sufficient for centralized lubrication systems of 

standard size trucks, buses and trailers . 

Reservoir capacities : 4 or 3 liters . 

Usable lubricants are : Fluid greases of NLGI grades 

000, 00 . 

The pump is activated by a solenoid valve . 

Using the Impulse counter DSWM 21-2iS1, the pneumatically 

operated piston pumps adapt also to systems for 

trailer lubrication . See page 8. 

PEU-98 

The 2-, 4-and 6-ported VKR piston distributors distribute 

and meter the iubricantfed by the pump . They pass the 

lubricant premetered to the lubrication points . 

Piston distributors feed lubricant while driving ; the 

friction areas are moving and the bearings are capable 

to receive new lubricant . 

The IG 433-3 controller allows for timed on-off period 

cycle control of the solenoid and pump action and 

reports any faults via an indication lamp mounted on 

the dashboard In the driver's cab . 

VKR distributor systems may also operate with 12 V or 

24 V, using the electrically operated gear pump unit 

KFU 2 or KFU 6 and the IC 433-4 control unit that 

monitors the on and off time of the gear pump unit .

Centralized fluid grease lubrication , especially for tractor-trailer 

combinations or semitrailers, with the electrically operated gear pump unit 

KFU 2 or KFU 6 and VKR distributors (trailer secondary) 

Truck-trailer combinations, tractors and semitrailers, 

special vehicles with complex superstructures have 

many lubrication points and long tube runs, too many 

for a centralized lubrication system activated by only 

one pneumatically operated piston pump . Two pumps 

should be installed . 

The electrically operated piston pump units KFU 2 or 

KFU 6, however, can handle every size of system with 

one pump only . 

If, for instance, tractor and trailer will be separated 

rarely or never, the lubrication of the entire truck-trailer 

combination can be effected by one unit only (trailer 

secondary) . 

The trailer or supported trailer will be connected 

hydraulically with a coupling to the truck or tractor . 

The supply of the trailer or supported trailer will be 

effected by the unit and controller of the tractor . 

The economic advantage of this system layout Is considerable, 

as no extra pump is required for .the trailer . 

These gear pump units do neither require any compressed 

air valves nor compressed air lines . 

The electrically operated gear pump units KFU 2 and 

KFU 6 do not supply lubricant "in portions", but continuously 

until also the metering chambers of those 

distributors which are faraway from the pump are 

filled . Only then the pump wiii be switched off .

Independent trailer lubrication 

with the pneumatically operated piston pump PEU-98/S14 

or with the electrically operated compact unit KFMA3 

For trucks and trailers which are frequently separated or 

coupled to other tractors, It is recommended to fit the trailer 

with its own system. With combined systems (trailer secondary), 

there would otherwise be the risk that with frequent 

opening and closing of the lubricant coupling dirt, moisture or 

air may enter the main line and thus cause malfunctions . 

The pneumatically operated piston pump PEU-98/S14 is mainly 

designed for huge trailers with more than 18 lubrication 

points . 

The pump will be actuated by an adjustable impuise counter . 

This counts the number of brake actuations and will initiate a 

pump stroke after a certain number. 

For trailers with up to 18 lubrication 

points, the electrically operated 

compact unit KFMA 3 is an economic 

solution. 

The pump motor will run, with every 

brake actuation, for 1, 2, or 3 seconds 

(adjustable), thus supplying all 

connected lubrication points in 

sequence . 

Single-grease fitting feeder system 

if a complete centralized lubrication system is too costly for 

you, you will still not have to do without a system . 

Decide in favor of a single-grease fitting feeder system . 

There is only one central lubrication point at an easily accessible 

position on the vehicle. From this point, lines are laid to 

the lubrication points . Lubrication will be effected by means of 

a grease gun or drum pump . 

To limit the grease quantity (greases Of NLGI grades 0, 1, 2), a 

pre-metering unit may be used . it will prevent overiubrication 

and lubricant waste . 

Automating the above is simple by instaiiing a suitable pump 

and controller at any time.

Centralized fluid grease lubrication 

for light and medium-size vehicles 

with the space-saving compact unit KFM 3 

Light and medium size utility vehicles have many maintenance-free 

bearings - but some lubrication points 

remain : for instance, the king pins . 

For reasons of ignorance or negligence, these lubrication 

points will be easily forgotten during regular maintenance 

Inspections . This will result in extended repair 

and spare part costs . This is not necessary! 

For light trucks, transporters and minibuses, VOGEL 

developed a"tailor-made' centralized fluid grease lubrication 

system. (Greases of NLGI grades 000, 0fl) . 

The electrically operated compact unit KFM 3 comprises 

an 1 .5 I reservoir as well as the control electronics. The 

reservoir capacity is sufficientfor not less than one year . 

The unit can supply a maximum of 18 iubrication points 

with lubricant . 

Everyone of the max .18 metering pumps will be directly 

connected via a 4 mm tube to the appropriate lubrica• 

tion point. With every cycle, every lubrication point will 

receive a constant quantity of lubricant (0 .15 cm3 or 

0 .08 cm3), depending on the buiid-in metering pumps . 

No separate lubrication distributors are required forthis 

system . 

This unit also serves to lubricate vehicle options like 

hydraulic lifts, tipping devices, etc . 

Installation by your own staff! Short installation times!

Centralized grease lubrication for all vehicles on- or off-road 

with electrically operated piston pump KFG 1 

or pneumatically operated piston pump PFP-298 and progressive feeders 

Centralized grease lubrication systems comprise - similar 

to fluid grease systems - pump with lubricant reservoir, 

distributors (feeders) with tubing and control unit 

Pump, feeders, tubing and fittings are designed for the 

feeding of greases and the high pressures associated 

with these systems . 

Greases of NLGI grades 0, 1, 2 are used, which will be fed 

via progressive feeders to the lubrication points . 

The electrically operated piston pump KFG 1 with a 

reservoir with 2 liters capacity is equipped with two outlets, 

allowing the distribution of the delivered lubricant 

quantity to the front end and to the rear of the vehicle . 

Normally, two progressive feeders will thus be sufficient, 

one each for the front and rear axle region . 

By the electric drive, this pump Is independent of a 

vehicle-based compressed air system . 

The electronic control unit IG 471 or IG 472, forming part 

of this system, activates after an adjustable intervai time 

the pump operation . The control unit IG 472 controls and 

monitors the pump operation and reports any faults via 

an indication lamp on the dashboard of the driver's 

cab.
