Vectolub VE1B

Compact volumetric metering devices for external lubrication with a minimum quantity

The SKF VectoLub system uses volumetric micropumps to deliver very small volumes of lubricant (from 3 mm3) at high frequency by means of a two-flow spray nozzle.

The VE1B is a compact, easy-to-use, and cost-effective lubrication system. The VE1B can be mounted directly to the machine bed using standard mounting rails or a magnetic stand.

Technical characteristics and advantages

  • An economical alternative to the VTEC system
  • The compact system takes up little space and can be installed next to the equipment being lubricated.
  • Easy to operate system with a single control setting for all micro pumps.
  • The VE1B system can be supplied as a complete set (devices, tank, hoses and nozzles)

Application areas

  • Machines for mechanical processing, drawing, sawing
  • Application of lubricant coatings
  • Lubrication of conveyors
  • Liquid dosing
