The long-time lubrication unit considerably increases lubrication intervals. Depending on the application and ambient conditions, it can achieve lifetime lubrication. It also considerably reduces lubricant consumption, as only the required quantity of lubricant is applied. The compact construction and special design allows the block to be fitted in any position without impairing the lubrication function. The long-time lubrication unit can be used at ambient temperatures of -10°C to +60°C.
