Meter Units
Meter units are oil proportioning devices for cyclic systems. Each outlet of a lubricating system is controlled by a meter unit. The lubricator in the system dispenses known amounts of oil to the distribution network and meter units deliver this oil in varying amounts to the bearing points.
The first letter of the meter unit identifies the type of threads on the unit. Meter units that begin with the letter “F” denote inch threads, while those that start with the letter “A” signify metric threads.
Standard flow rates range from 00 (slow) to 3 (fast). For special situations, 3/0 (slow) and 5 (extra, extra fast) rates are available. Each incremental increase in rate size doubles the oil flow to a point.
Meter units type “F” must be used with all cyclic type lubricators (cannot be used with continuous lubricators). Meter units feed in one direction only. This is indicated by arrow stamped on body.
How to Order
Meter units have a letter and number designation stamped on the flat surface of the hexagonal body. Part numbers are listed in the tables on the following pages. When ordering, specify the complete name and part number, e.g. Meter Unit, Type FSA-0, Part #B1083.
