Ordering Information & How to Choose the Right Unit

To order the correct meter unit, refer to the part number stamped on the hexagonal body of the unit. Example ordering format:

• Meter Unit, Type FSA-0, Part #B1083

For more details or assistance in selecting the right meter unit for your application, contact our technical support team. When choosing the appropriate meter unit, consider the following:

• Lubrication System Type: Ensure the meter unit is compatible with a cyclic lubrication system.
• Flow Rate Requirements: Select a flow rate (3/0 - 5) based on your lubrication needs.
• Thread Type: Choose between inch or metric threads depending on system compatibility.
• Application Needs: Determine if the unit should be straight, tee-type, insert, or junction-style.

Meter units are oil proportioning devices used in cyclic lubrication systems to regulate the precise amount of lubricant delivered to critical components. These units ensure optimal lubrication by controlling the flow of oil to individual lubrication points, preventing over-lubrication or insufficient lubrication, which can lead to premature wear and equipment failure.

Each outlet of a lubrication system is paired with a meter unit, allowing for customized lubricant distribution based on the requirements of the application.

Key Features & Benefits

• Precise Lubrication Control – Ensures accurate oil flow to each lubrication point.
• Available in Various Flow Rates – Ranges from extra slow (3/0) to extra fast (5) to meet different system demands.
• Directional Flow Design – Meter units allow one-way oil flow, preventing backflow issues.
• Thread Variants for Compatibility – Available in inch (F-series) and metric (A-series) thread options.
• Durable Construction – Manufactured from high-quality materials for reliability in industrial applications.
• Designed for Cyclic Lubricators – Must be used with intermittent lubrication systems (not compatible with continuous flow systems).

How Meter Units Work

Meter units operate within single-line resistance lubrication systems, where the lubricator dispenses a predetermined amount of oil into the distribution system. Each meter unit regulates the precise amount of lubricant that reaches individual bearing points.

Flow Rate Categories:

• 3/0 – Extra Slow Flow
• 00 – Slow Flow
• 0 – Medium Slow Flow
• 1 – Medium Flow
• 2 – Medium Fast Flow
• 3 – Fast Flow
• 4 – Extra Fast Flow
• 5 – Extra, Extra Fast Flow

Each incremental increase in flow rate approximately doubles the lubricant output.

Types & Applications of Meter Units

Meter units are designed for a variety of lubrication systems and are categorized by thread type and installation configuration:

• Straight Type (S-Series)
• Mounted directly at the bearing point.
• Commonly used at the end of a pressure line.
• Tee-Type (T-Series)
• Used in systems requiring multiple connections from a junction header.
• Insert Type (K-Series)
• Designed for insertion into tapped holes with drilled passages (no tubing connection).
• Junction Type (J-Series)
• Installed into junction headers with tail tubes leading to lubrication points.
• Reverse Flow Type (R-Series)
• Configured for applications that require an inverted lubricant flow direction.
