in temperature (according to a leading bearing
company)
Reduces friction

In turn reducing energy consumption

Less pressure and wear on engines and other
mechanical parts
Eliminates contamination from bearing case

Increases bearing lifetime by 48% according to McNally
Institute.

Frequently asked questions
TL-EC2
Is the electrochemical pressure safely contained?

The gas chamber pressure tolerance is much
higher than the 70psi generated. EC approval.
Can I use a lubricator in a potentially explosive gas
contaminated work place?
Yes - explosion-proof TL-MEX series.
Which unit is practical and inexpensive for
small bearings?
The EC series in 3 sizes.
TL-MEX1 and 2
Technolube Inc.
Questions about the
Progressive Divider Block
Is 6m (20ft) distance remote installation for a
single point only or does it apply to multiple
point installation?

6m from main unit to each lubrication point
What If one lubrication point is blocked? Will
the other bearings receive more lubrication?

No, even if one lube point is blocked, the
lubricator will go into backpressure mode
and react with a warning code signal.
Technolube Inc.
Questions about
Operating Pressure
Why does the pressure range from 450-1160psi?
 450psi is the optimum application but in UL
tests the unit scored 1160psi.
Will the divider block reduce the pressure to each
point? - No.
Is 1160psi safe for the bearing and its sealant?
- Yes, only a small amount of grease is
dispensed at a time. For instance, 125cc
units set at 12 months = 0.33cc per day.
