Lubricant dispenser

A lubricant dispenser has at least one lubricant reservoir, an electromechanical drive which acts on at least one actuation element for discharging lubricant from the lubricant reservoir, a battery which provides a battery voltage, and a control circuit-board assembly which has at least one main circuit board having an electronic circuit assembly including at least one central microcontroller and additional electronic functional components as well as conductor tracks. The electronic circuit assembly is subdivided into a plurality of circuit islands in each of which the maximum current flowing within the circuit island in question is limited.

Active bearing temperature control

A motor assembly includes a shaft, a bearing, at least one fluid channel, a temperature sensor, a lubricant supply pump, and a controller. The bearing defines a bearing interface against which the shaft rotates. The at least one fluid channel is fluidly coupled with the bearing interface. The temperature sensor detects a temperature of the bearing. The lubricant supply pump is fluidly coupled with the at least one fluid channel to transport lubricant from a lubricant supply to the bearing interface via the at least one fluid channel. The controller receives the bearing temperature from the temperature sensor, determines a difference between the bearing temperature and a supply temperature of the lubricant, determines a lubricant flow rate based on the difference, and transmits a control signal to the lubricant supply pump to cause the lubricant supply pump to transport the lubricant to the bearing interface at the lubricant flow rate.

Described herein is a modular device for dispensing a lubricant. A first coupling end is attachable to a source of lubrication. A second coupling end is attachable to a lubrication receiver. A control module is arranged between the first coupling end and the second coupling end. The control module includes a flow measuring device in fluid communication between the first end coupling and the second end coupling. The control module is configured to enable dispensing of the lubricant.
