Progressive distributor

VPA-C

Use:
In progressive mode based central lubri-
cation systems.

The main features of WOERNER

progressive distributors are as follows:
+ Accurate proportioning volumes.
+ Clear and precise arrangement of
control channels in spite of small-size
construction.
+ Modular system construction.
Quick fault remedy possible without
having to loosen the pipeline.
+ 9 different proportioning volumes
selectable in accordance with the
lubricant required.
+ Extremely long service life due to
- Subject to modifications -

refined sliding surfaces.

+ Pluggable monitoring elements can
be replaced during operation.
+ No proportioning decrease at the
piston monitored.
