Lubrication distribution assembly

A lubrication distribution assembly is provided. The lubrication distribution assembly includes a lubrication metering device, which includes a piston. The lubrication distribution assembly also includes a sensor and a controller. The sensor automatically detects a piston stroke length of the piston over at least two movement cycles of the piston. The controller receives the piston stroke length from the sensor, sets an operating point of the piston based on the piston stroke length, and controls the lubrication metering device by utilizing the set operating point.

Threaded lube restrictor for low flow applications

A flow restrictor assembly includes a threaded element and a sleeve. The threaded element defines a plurality of threads that extend from a first threaded element end towards a second threaded element end. The sleeve has an inner sleeve surface that engages edges of a portion of the plurality of threads and extends between a first sleeve end and a second sleeve end. A lubrication flow path is defined by the portion of the plurality of threads and the inner sleeve surface and is arranged to create a pressure drop in a lubricant that flows through the lubrication flow path.
