Automatic Lubrication System for Mechanical Screw-Jacks: UNIMEC is always one step ahead of the game.

After filing numerous patents that revolutionized the concept of mechanical screw-jacks, Unimec renews its vocation with a brand new technology.

Research, innovation, ambition: these are the pillars on which Unimec’s corporate philosophy has been built from Day 1. After filing numerous patents that revolutionized the concept of mechanical screw-jacks, Unimec renews its vocation with a brand new technology that will have a tremendous impact on the life of both designers and end-users.
 
Unimec has recently developed a revolutionary, totally automated lubrication system, based on a proprietary Unimec lubricant specifically formulated for mechanical screw jacks. The system features a fully electronic, thermal-compensation control unit, capable of managing and correctly dispensing the appropriate amount of lubricant, regardless of external and environmental conditions.
 
The first advantage of the new Unimec system is the ability of quickly replacing the lubricant cartridge without disassembling the digital control unit, which translates to an immediate benefit in terms of time and resources.
 
In addition, thanks to the quick and intuitive LED display, it is possible to set-up the correct lubricant dispensation, as well as modifying, or fine-tuning all of the various parameters previously set-up while keeping an eye the operational conditions of the system: an innovative, simple and intuitive functional interface, designed to ensure 100% operational reliability and peace of mind.
 
The ability of electronically controlling the lubricant dispensation minimizes the risk of lubrication errors: the system automatically calculates the exact amount of lubricant and even the right pressure at which the lubricant must be dispensed in order to ensure the ideal functionality of the screw-jack.
 
The Unimec Automated Lubrication System can be used in a multitude of applications: suitable for environments with temperatures between -20°C (-4°F) and + 60°C (+140°F) the system can be employed in a vast range of applications, subject to extreme temperature variations, or in areas where human access may be problematic or prohibitive. The Unimec Automated Lubrication System requires minimum maintenance, improves safety in the workplace and helps guarantee a safe work environment for workers and maintenance operators.
 
The lubricant cartridge replacement does not require stopping the machine; scheduled maintenance becomes a quick, easy and trouble-free operation, not requiring interruption of production.
 
Finally, the exact and correct dispensation of lubricant will not only save time, but would also greatly improve the overall lifetime of the screw-jack, prevent premature wear and translate into additional, significant savings, in terms of overall cost of the machine.
 
A consistent, reliable and completely automated lubrication system will allow all Unimec users to tremendously improve the general performance of their machines and maximize their performance in the most challenging and demanding applications.
