An external 24VDC power supply is used to switch ON and OFF (voltage of+20 ...up to +30 VDC, supplied to PIN1). When voltage is supplied the lubrication pump is inoperating condition. If there are no errors (Pump OK) the input voltage will be transferred to theoutput signal (PIN 4) indicating all is OK. Once the voltage supply to PIN 1 is stopped (switchedOFF), the pump rests and saves the current operating conditions in memory. When the pump isturned back on the saved operating conditions will be continued PIN 4 relays the operatingcondition.Connector PIN assignment M 12x1PIN 1: Input voltage +20...30 VDC, color brownPIN 2: Activation of the individual pump outlets (page 3), color whitePIN 3: Ground (GND), color bluePIN 4: Output Signal, color blackDetailsPeak current Imax (during pump operation) approx. 350 mA, typically < 200 mAStandby current (standby mode) < 20 mAOutlet signal PIN 4: High (+20...30 VDC) = OKLow = Error (empty signal, over-current)5800-713-6170 • www.andantex.com • info@andantex.com

MODULAR RACK & PINION SYSTEMLUBRICATION OF PINIONS AND RACKSLubrication of open spur gear drives and racksFor tooth systems in open drives, an automatic lubrication supply is prefered. Exceptions are possible, in the case of verysmall modules, slow speed

MODULAR RACK & PINION SYSTEMLUBRICATION PINIONTechnical specification lubrication pinionThe Herion lubrication pinions are made of an open cellular polyurethane foam (temperature range -30° C…+150° C).Pinionswith module 3 and bigger are put together with segments. To choose the correct lubrication pinion it has to be decided bydesign, if the lubrication pinion should be mounted on the rack or drive pinion. Mounting on the drive pinion is prefered,because the distribution of lubrication is better than a lubrication of the rack.Using lubrication pinions of an open-cellular polyurethane foam material ensures an optimal supply of the tooth system overlong distances. The material stores the lubricant and delivers it in smallest quantities. This lubrication avoids over-lubricationas well as wear (as a consequence of insufficient lubrication).LUBRICATION PINION - STRAIGHT TEETHmaterialopen cellularpolyurethane foamPart no.

Rotate the Lubrication piniondynamically on the rack until the pinion is enriched with grease (or use a already pre-greased pinion, on request).Now you can activate the system.For an H1/NSF application please use the grease Herion-F02.Reason:To avoid loss of lubrication grease because of insufficient adhesion of the lubrication grease, the rack surface must be cleanedfrom smut, oil, grease, wax, asphalt, resin and glue.In the case of insufficient cleaning, the grease „swims“ on a film and does not connect itself with the metallic material.The lubrication pinion is made up of a special foam and can absorb lubrication grease of appr. 90% of it´s own volume.Through this characteristic, grease is absorbed and dropped off again: storing effect.The foam is wear-resistant and resistant to oils and greases.800-713-6170 • www.andantex.com • info@andantex.com14

The splitters should be located as close as possible tothe FlexxPump outlets.The length of the tubes between the outlet side of the splitter and the lubrication points should be as close as possible toequal. Pressure differences between the outlets should not exceed 3 bars (43.5 PSI). The amount of lubricant supplied tolubrication points can vary slightly depending on the pressure differences at the outlets.17800-713-6170 • www.andantex.com • info@andantex.com
