Volume Meters with and without connection adapters

In automated dispensing and lubrication technology, the exact measurement of the medium consumed is a decisive factor for quality control and operating cost tracking. Volume counters serve the purpose of continuously monitoring the media flow within the delivery line. By converting the flow into electrical pulses, these components enable precise real-time monitoring of the dispensed volumes. ABNOX volume counters are specifically designed for the high pressures and viscosities encountered in industrial tribology.

Measurement is typically based on the positive displacement principle, where the flowing medium drives two high-precision intermeshing measuring gears. Each revolution corresponds to an exactly defined volume. Non-contact sensors detect the rotational movement and transmit it as pulses to the higher-level controller (PLC) or an evaluation unit. This process guarantees high measurement accuracy even with fluctuating viscosities and pressures, providing the basis for seamless documentation of dispensing cycles within the dispensing chain.
 

Product Specification

Manufactured from high-strength materials, available with or without connection adapters for integration into existing piping systems. The devices are characterized by minimal friction losses and high resolution of measured values. The robust construction ensures a long service life, even with abrasive media or high cycle frequencies. Thanks to the availability of specific adapters, the volume counters can be integrated directly into the media flow of the dispensing system without the need for complex piping adjustments.

• High Pressure Resistance: 
  Validation of the housings for use in high-pressure systems to rule out deformations in the measuring chamber and resulting measurement errors.
• Viscosity Independence: 
  The mechanical measuring principle enables reliable data when delivering everything from low-viscosity oils to high-viscosity greases.
• Electronic Interfaces: 
  Standardized pulse outputs allow for easy connection to digital counters, PLC inputs, or process data monitors.
• Low-Maintenance Sensor Technology: 
  Non-contact pulse detection prevents mechanical wear on the signal pickup and increases the operational reliability of the entire system.

The use of ABNOX volume counters eliminates uncertainties regarding the actual amount of lubricant applied. By comparing target and actual values in the process control system, leaks, blockages, or pump defects can be detected immediately. This minimizes production scrap and protects the mechanical components of the dispensing system from insufficient lubrication. Consequently, volume counters form the technological basis for transparent and economical lubricant management under continuous industrial load conditions.
