© 2019 - H-T-L perma USA LP | www.permausa.com | 11 perma application engineers and specialists have developed a 4-step process for determining the most appropriate combinations of perma lubrication systems and mounting solutions for common equipment categories. The 4-step process can be used for conducting site surveys and preparing formal lubrication recommendations. This catalog guides the reader through the 4-step assessment and specification process: Steps 1 & 2 relate to equipment requirements and decision making for lubrication system installation practices. Steps 3 & 4 relate to selection of lubrication system type and suitable perma installation and mounting methods. Assessment of the application or equipment type: • Determine the application type, equipment OEM, frame or model size, and bearing part designations • Determine the influence of operating parameters (speed, load, vibration, temperature) • Determine the influence of environmental factors (water, moisture, abrasive particles, slurry, air movement, ambient temperature) • Assess relubrication rates referencing OEM specifications or the perma SELECT calculation Assess the application location, equipment physical size, access to lubrication points, proximity to hazardous areas or materials, restrictions due to guarding, exposure to high vibration or temperature: • Conduct the remote installation decision making process to find out if your lubrication point requires direct or remote installation • Assess requirement for lubrication system protection and select standard or heavy duty bracket design Select preferred perma automatic lubrication system and lubricant: • Select a perma automatic lubrication system based on the application/equipment assessment (technical data and operating characteristics, remote grease hose length restrictions, environmental conditions) • Select grease suitability by application or by site preferences Select and specify installation kits, mounting types and accessories based on the application /equipment assessment: • Select installation kit to suit perma lubrication system • Select installation kit design and mounting method based on number of lubrication points and requirement for standard or heavy duty • Select additional accessories required (angles, reducers, extensions) Assessment & selection procedure STEP 1: Page 12-19 ASSESS APPLICATION / EQUIPMENT STEP 4: Page 26-33 SELECT MOUNTING TYPE / KIT STEP 3: Page 22-25 SELECT SYSTEM / LUBRICANT STEP 2: Page 20-21 ASSESS INSTALLATION METHOD 2 3 4 1
