PLC is used to control the lubricating oil flow at the specified level. This can be done on the bearing, journals and other engine part by installing a transducer near it, automatically controlling the lubrication of a bearing can be performed either by a stationary installed Vibration or by measuring the actual amount of grease fed In the bearing. In this system a flow transducer unit is installed directly at the grease point. The unit closes / opens a switch that can be used to control the actual fat flow. Each dosing of the automatic system will be measured by the transducer and when the difference is greater than the specified one, an alarm will be energized by a PLC to obtain a better precision.
