Flow monitors and flow sensors

Flow monitors have the task of monitoring the flow of oil from a pump or metering device to the lube point. Flow monitors with various designs are used for this job. A further task involves monitoring a continuous flow of oil from a pump through a lubrication system.
Flow sensors keep an eye on the flow of oil from a metering point to the lube point, the metering point metering out a small amount of oil for only a short period of time.
Oil-streak sensors monitor the continuity of the oil flow in SKF Oil+Air systems. Aerosol monitors monitor the continuity of the aerosol flow in SKF LubriLean Minimal Quantity Lubrication systems.

  • intermittent or continuous operation
  • kind of lubrication system
  • oil quantity to be monitored
  • eff. viscosity of the lubricant
  • system pressure.

In the table you can find technical details of flow monitors and sensors.
