Products
simalube IMPULSE connect - Digital pressure booster up to 10 bar
The simalube IMPULSE connect is the latest generation of the pressure booster from the simalube family. The proven functions of the IMPULSE have been supplemented with the option of connecting the device to a smartphone via Bluetooth®. In connection with the newly developed «simatec world of maintenance» app, the devices can be easily configured and then monitored without having to be directly at the lubrication point. Information such as general status, fill level, lubricant, size, start and change date etc. is displayed to the user and easy to read in the app.
simalube - the automatic single-point lubricator
Automatic lubrication - reduction in costs Using simalube pays off in many ways. Manual lubrication is no longer required. As a result of the time saving alone, costs are considerably reduced and manpower resources are freed up for profitable tasks in the value chain. With manual lubrication, bearings are usually over- or under-lubricated, which causes them to overheat (or dry up), resulting in mechanical failure and unplanned downtime. The simalube lubricator ensures reliable and even application of lubricant, resulting in less damage to bearings and longer machine operating times. The simalube closed system prevents any penetration of dirt. This extends the service life of the lubricated components and ensures reliable operation of the equipment. And last but not least, no lubrication points are overlooked or forgotten. Versatile use The dispenser can be used easily in all industry sectors. Water treatment plants, the automobile industry, chemical plants, foodstuffs manufacturers, underground mines and even hospitals and clinics trust in the Swiss lubricator. There is also a vast range of possible applications: conveyor belts, fans, motors, pumps, cooling and heating units, chains and guides are all reliably supplied with grease or oil by the Swiss lubricators. simalube works upside down and even under water. Its operating temperature range is from -20 °C to +55 °C.
simatherm Induction Heaters: for the quick heating of rolling bearings and other ring-shaped metal parts
Reduce costs with simatherm Investing in a simatherm induction heater pays off in a number of ways. Within seconds, a roller bearing is gently heated to the required mounting temperature. This results in a huge saving in time, energy and money compared with previous heating methods such as oil baths, heating plates or ovens. A component is heated to the preselected temperature, where it is maintained using the keep-warm function, which means that it is never overheated and is ready for mounting at any time. A further advantage is that the temperature of the components is monitored using a temperature sensor and displayed on the unit. Fast heating possible The recommended heating temperature for mounting roller bearings is 110°C. With average bearing sizes, this temperature is reached after a matter of seconds, which saves both time and money. Besides heating bearings, however, simatherm units can also be used to heat other circular metal components such as gear wheels, flanges, bearing rings, pinions, etc. Temperature monitoring allows components to be warmed to a maximum of 250°C. Depending on the material and dimension of the components, they can even be heated to 400°C in time mode. Easy mounting The compression force required for mounting increases considerably as the bearing size increases. If the heat expansion of the metals is utilised, it is possible to mount bearings and other circular components on a shaft or in a housing without exerting any force. When heating a component, the simatherm unit remains cold and is therefore safe to touch. Plastic seals and lubricant also do not become hot. This also allows pre-lubricated bearings to be heated, which is a unique advantage of simatherm units. The grease is not damaged when the bearings are heated, and the latter can be mounted as soon as the preselected temperature is reached.
simatool - toolkits: for the professional mounting and dismounting of roller bearings
simatool tool sets enable fast mounting and dismounting of roller bearings and radial shaft seals. They are used successfully throughout the world in the mechanical engineering industry, in maintenance workshops and practically all other branches of industry. The fast, safe precision handling of the tools is particularly valued. Compact, sturdy tool case All simatool tool sets are supplied in hard-shelled tool cases. These ensure the required protection of high-quality tools at all times. The compact tool cases allow easy use of the tools in any sector.
