The document discusses the advantages of Vogel automatic central lubrication (ACL) systems. Key points include precise metering of lubricant from 0.04-0.36cc per cycle, with finely graduated pump elements and sophisticated electronics to ensure reliable lubrication. Arguments are provided to address common customer concerns about ACL systems, explaining benefits like reduced wear, increased bearing life, and savings from less manual lubrication and grease use. Optimized lubrication quantities and frequency are highlighted, along with benefits of OEM-fitted systems like uniform installation and use of standard parts.

resp. Of high quality glass-fiber reinforced plastic (KFA / KFAS)
Block distributors and sectional feeders available in different sizes
Better metering possibilities for every lube point, precise and with optimal effect Not too much and not too little 0.04 0.36 ccm per cycle, i.e. a metering ratio of 1:9 without crossporting ensures the greatest possible flexibility
Finely graduated pump elements for exact metering (4 fixed)
Sophisticated control electronics
(EMC-tested, vibration-proof, dip-varnished circuit board to protect against dampness,protected against voltage peaks, nonvolatile memory)
Arguments for the skeptical customer
The customer says ...
Our answer:
1. CL is too expensive
It pays for itself no later than the second year of operation.
(see the payoff calculation)
2. Bad experience with earlier
central lubrication systems
VOGEL CL systems especially developed for the off-road
market have been in use for more than 15 years, are fully mature and have stood the toughest tests. Important are installation know-how and fast service.
3. CL makes people careless
An unreliable driver neglects machinery with or without CL,
but CL still assures dependable lubrication of the lube points.
Arguments for the skeptical customer
The customer says ...
Our answer:
4. The driver should check the
underside of the machine at the same time as he does the lubrication.
He can do that. The drive shaft still has to be lubricated by hand.
bearing has received the necessary amount of grease?
The way progressive feeders work ensures a reliable,
individually metered supply of lubricant for every individual bearing.
9. How can I notice whether a fault
occurs?
Visual monitoring: visual checks with the help of a safety valve on each pump outlet port Electronic monitoring: the pistons stroke is monitored by a cycle switch on the progressive feeder
Arguments for the skeptical customer
The customer says ...
Our answer:
10. How do I know what grease is
suitable for a VOGEL central lubrication system?
A constantly updated list of NLGI grade 2 grease
tested* by VOGEL is available Moreover, VOGEL also offers to test* other grease as a service to the customer.
* The test is related to the suitability of the
grease for use in central lubrication systems, not to its lubricating properties.
Marketing Features Automatic Central Lubrication System
Why Automatic Lubrication ?
The automatic system works without the human error factor. In short time intervals Lubricates every point, every time Result:
Reduced wear and tear in all bearings connected and increases the bearing life time by minimum factor 4.
Marketing Features Automatic Central Lubrication System
Automatic Principle: Small dosages, more often
Automatic systems apply lubricant to lube points ... in small dosages but more often when the vehicle is in operation and never miss a lubrication cycle Result:
Service and repair cost savings of 15 - 25 %
depending on bearing design, operating conditions etc. Return of Investment (ROI) usually 1 year or less
Principle: Automatic vs. Manual Lubrication
The great benefit of an automatic lubrication system is that it lubricates the grease points more often but with small amounts. VOGEL calls that Dynamic Lubrication because the machine is in motion.
