Flow limiter SP/SMB 8...

for mounting plates

General information
Flow limiters are used in large oil circulation lubrication systems.
The task of a flow limiter is to divide up the volumetric flow of the
main line into parallel individual volumetric flow quantities and to
“limit” these according to requirement, or to keep them constant.
The volumetric flow generated is independent of the system
pressure and virtually independent of viscosity.
The SP/SMB 8... flow limiter was developed specially for
mounting plates. The advantage of this design is its simple and
compact construction.
Using interchangeable plug-in nozzles, the volumetric flow of the
flow limiter can be set stepwise from 0.09 to 8.18 l/min. This
also makes subsequent adjustments possible (necessary when
the unit is modified, e.g.). Tedious resetting and measuring are
unnecessary. Flow limiter SP/SMB 8 ...
The volumetric flow can be monitored simply and safely with a
signal transmitter or proximity switch (which is also subsequently
screwed in). A fault signal occurs when the volumetric flow drops
to approx. 70 % of the nominal volumetric flow.

Mode of operation Functional diagram

With the flow limiter SP/SMB 8..., the total volumetric flow Q is
divided up by the parallel layout of the Flow limiter on the
mounting plate into individual flow lines Qi. The system pressure,
being the input pressure p1 is thus maintained for all flow
limiters.
Every Flow limiter has a control plunger with a plug-in nozzle as
a differential pressure regulator.
The differential pressure (p1-p2) at the interchangeable plug-in
nozzle D1 in the control plunger is based on a balance of forces
p1 • A = p2 • A + F resp.. p1/2 = p1 - p2 = F/A = constant.

It follows that:
The difference in pressure in front of and behind the variable p1 pressure upstream of the plug-in nozzle D1
jet D2 is maintained constant by a balance in pressure. p2 pressure downstream of the plug-in nozzle D1
The condition for this function is that the system pressure p1 is p3 pressure downstream of D2
always greater than the sum of the pressure drops in and after
D1 plug-in nozzle
each flow limiter.
D2 throttle
p1 > p1/2 + p3
RK control plunger
For this reason the pump volume flow should exceed all
individual flow quantities by approx. 15 %, i.e., F spring pressure

Q = 1.15 • ( ∑ Qi ).

system
The pump (1) delivers the lubricant to the main line (2). From
here, the lubricant then reaches the lubricating point directly via
the flow limiter (4), or via the progressive distributor (3) or flow
divider (6) which are connected to it.
The signal transmittersor proximity switches which are screwed
into the flow limiters (4) monitor the volumetric flow. Collective
monitors (5) evaluate the entering signals.
• Interrupt oil feed to flow limiter above shut-off valve
(at oil filter, if required).

• Remove stop screw (hexagonal 30 mm) or signal
transmitter or proximity switches with sealing
ring slowly

Caution!
Escaping oil may be hot!
• Remove control plunger, plug-in nozzle with sealing ring
and pressure spring.
• Remove plug-in nozzle from control plunger.

Use a rod approx. ø 7 in diameter, if necessary, (on no
account a pointed instrument such as a needle).
• Insert new plug-in nozzle with sealing ring into the
control plunger as far as it will go.
• Insert pressure spring (without crossing the thread) into
the bore hole.
• Insert control plunger with new plug-in nozzle on top of
the pressure spring into the bore hole without crossing
the thread.
• Check control plunger for smooth action by
pressing against the pressure spring. Crossing the
thread causes malfunctions.
• Screw in stop screw or signal transmitter with sealing
ring.
• Open shut-off valve.
