Flow limiter SP/SMB 8...
for mounting plates
www.vogelag.com
General information
Flow limiters are used in large oil circulation lubrication systems.
The task of a flow limiter is to divide up the volumetric flow of the
main line into parallel individual volumetric flow quantities and to
limit these according to requirement, or to keep them constant.
The volumetric flow generated is independent of the system
pressure and virtually independent of viscosity.
The SP/SMB 8... flow limiter was developed specially for
mounting plates. The advantage of this design is its simple and
compact construction.
Using interchangeable plug-in nozzles, the volumetric flow of the
flow limiter can be set stepwise from 0.09 to 8.18 l/min. This
also makes subsequent adjustments possible (necessary when
the unit is modified, e.g.). Tedious resetting and measuring are
unnecessary.
The volumetric flow can be monitored simply and safely with a
signal transmitter or proximity switch (which is also subsequently
screwed in). A fault signal occurs when the volumetric flow drops
to approx. 70 % of the nominal volumetric flow.
Mode of operation
With the flow limiter SP/SMB 8..., the total volumetric flow Q is
divided up by the parallel layout of the Flow limiter on the
mounting plate into individual flow lines Q
i
. The system pressure,
being the input pressure p
1
is thus maintained for all flow
limiters.
Every Flow limiter has a control plunger with a plug-in nozzle as
a differential pressure regulator.
The differential pressure (p
1
-p
2
) at the interchangeable plug-in
nozzle D
1
in the control plunger is based on a balance of forces
p
1
A = p
2
A + F resp.. p1/2 = p
1
- p
2
= F/A = constant.
It follows that:
The difference in pressure in front of and behind the variable
jet D
2
is maintained constant by a balance in pressure.
The condition for this function is that the system pressure p
1
is
always greater than the sum of the pressure drops in and after
each flow limiter.
p
1
> p1/2 + p
3
For this reason the pump volume flow should exceed all
individual flow quantities by approx. 15 %, i.e.,
Q = 1.15 ( Q
i
).

Example of an oil circular lubrication
system
The pump (1) delivers the lubricant to the main line (2). From
here, the lubricant then reaches the lubricating point directly via
the flow limiter (4), or via the progressive distributor (3) or flow
divider (6) which are connected to it.
The signal transmittersor proximity switches which are screwed
into the flow limiters (4) monitor the volumetric flow. Collective
monitors (5) evaluate the entering signals.

Remove stop screw (hexagonal 30 mm) or signal
transmitter or proximity switches with sealing
ring slowly
Caution!
Escaping oil may be hot!
Remove control plunger, plug-in nozzle with sealing ring
and pressure spring.
Remove plug-in nozzle from control plunger.
Use a rod approx. 7 in diameter, if necessary, (on no
account a pointed instrument such as a needle).
Insert new plug-in nozzle with sealing ring into the
control plunger as far as it will go.
Insert pressure spring (without crossing the thread) into
the bore hole.
Insert control plunger with new plug-in nozzle on top of
the pressure spring into the bore hole without crossing
the thread.
Check control plunger for smooth action by
pressing against the pressure spring. Crossing the
thread causes malfunctions.
Screw in stop screw or signal transmitter with sealing
ring.
