Efficient and effective lubrication is vital to equipment performance and reliability and a critical part of any Essential Care and Monitoring Program. The most common cause of universal joint failure in drive shafts is the lack of, or improper lubrication of the cross and bearings.

TRUE Lube™ is designed to provide continuous lubrication of the universal joint while the drive shaft is operating. Through the use of electronic lubrication canisters, TRUE Lube™provides an individual lubrication source for each cross/bearing set in the universal joint.

Universal joint manufacturers recommend lubrication every 200 hours of continuous operation. The shutting down of operations is both impractical and inefficient. TRUE Lube™provides the solution! 
TRUE Lube™ is mounted directly on the drive shaft. Each electronic lubrication canister is then connected to one of the fittings on the universal joint. The adjustable time and volume features of the canister are then programmed to disperse a specific amount of lubricant in four different discharge periods of 1, 3, 6, and 12 months. During operation, most canisters can be monitored using a strobe light. Lubricant dispersion is traceable through the clear bowl or LED lights that indicate the various operating conditions (operating, malfunction or empty).

Each TRUE Lube™ is constructed of high-grade aluminum with stainless steel fittings. (Other metals and materials may be used based on the operating environment.) The TRUE Lube™ lubrication canisters are fully automatic, maintenance-free, corrosion, dust, splash proof, and reliable.

 
“The TRUE Lube^TM has vastly improved the reliability of our mill’s drive shafts and at the same time, reduced the number of people required to accomplish thorough lubrication machines.  Using TRUE Lube^TM we have achieved our ultimate goal of eliminating drive shaft failure and freeing up more crafts people to do other maintenance duties during a machine outage,”
