Background
Streamliner operates at relatively low pressures (<100 psi) over long periods.            The pressure generated is a response to resistance to flow presented to the unit. The most common back pressure causes are:

Accumulation of deposits in bearings or passages

  • Seals that will not permit flow

  • Lubricant feed ports between the unit and the bearing

  • Fittings with small feed passages

  • Line pressure losses in remote mount installations

While impractical to do anything about the design of the bearing arrangement, Staminalube units should be mounted as close to the bearing point as possible.  The shorter the distance the grease is required to travel, the less back pressure presented by the feed passage.

Direct Straight Mount
The most common method of connection is a direct mount using a Type 1 adaptor.  Most grease nipples use a 1/4”or 1/8”thread.  Where space restrictions allow, mount the unit using one or both of these adaptors as shown in figure #1.
Direct Angle Mount
Sometimes the space restrictions of the application will not allow a direct straight mount.  Where this occurs, the use of a 45o or 90o fitting may allow the unit to be direct mounted.  When using angle fittings, ensure that the total length of the mount is not excessive.  The weight of the unit @ approximately 0.5 kg may otherwise load the mounting threads.  Particularly avoid long distances when direct mounting using reducers with a thread size of less than 1/4” Recommended configurations are shown in figure #2.

Under no circumstances should reducers with 1/4”SAE (6MM) (A1-03) or 5/16”SAE (8MM) (A1-04) threads be connected to other fittings for direct mounted units.  The weight of the unit may result in breakage of the small thread.
Direct Mount + Extensions
Sometimes space restrictions will not allow a direct straight mount or angle mount.  Where this occurs, the use of the 45 or 90 fittings with the extension tube may allow the unit to be direct mounted.   When using extension tubes with angle fittings, ensure that the total length of the mount is not excessive.  The weight of the unit @ approximately 0.5 kg may load the mounting threads.  Particularly avoid long distances when direct mounting using reducers with a thread size of less than 1/4” Recommended configurations are shown is figure #3 & figure #4.  Under no circumstances should reducers with 1/4”SAE (6MM) (A1-03) or 5/16”SAE (8MM) (A1-04) threads be connected to other fittings for direct mounted units.  The weight of the unit may result in breakage of the small thread
Remote Mount
 

 

Sometimes space restrictions will not allow a direct straight mount, angle mount or extension mount.  In other circumstances, small fittings may not be suited to direct mounting due to thread weight limitations. Where this occurs, the use of remote mount may be required.  It is preferable to limit the use of remote mounting to 1-3 month dispensing units.
When multiple units must be connected together and the fittings have small threads, multiple remote mounting is recommended. Please note, when remote mounting multiple units, a special adaptor is required to connect the A10-01 non return valves to the Type 8 remote mount hoses.  Please specify this adaptor when ordering.
 

There are 5 different hose lengths and diameters.  The remote mount hoses are manufactured to lengths and internal diameters to suit the unit.

DO NOT USE HOSES THAT EXCEED THE DIMENSIONS OF THE STANDARD REMOTE MOUNT HOSES.
