1. Application

The SKF MultiPoint Automatic Lubricator LAGD 400 is an eight-point lubrication system.
The lubricator can be used with all standard SKF grease types and produces a maximum
pressure of 40 bar (600 psi). The maximum pressure is guaranteed when the total length
of the lubrication tubes does not exceed 5 metres (16 ft).

2.2 Method of operation

During each cycle, an electric motor in the lubricator pre-loads a piston. The piston draws
grease into a cylinder. The piston is released at the end of each cycle and pushes the
grease from the cylinder into the eight channels of the outlet block. The piston dispenses
the same quantity of grease through each channel.
The electric motor is controlled by a microprocessor. The microprocessor controls the
dispense modes and detects blocked lubrication tubes and empty grease cartridges.

2.3 Grease supply

A standard SKF grease cartridge supplies grease to the lubricator. An empty SKF grease
cartridge can be reilled through the grease illing nipple.
