Precision Flow Meters for Accurate Lubricant Monitoring & Control

Flow meters are instruments designed to measure the volume or rate of fluid moving through a system — essential for verifying delivery, monitoring performance, and controlling lubricant usage in industrial lubrication and metering applications. They provide real-time feedback that helps ensure accurate flow rates, track material usage, and enable better process control across lubrication networks and automated dispense stations.

Featured Flow Meter Products

Positive Displacement Flow Meters

These flow meters use a mechanical displacement mechanism (e.g., precision gears or rotors) that traps and counts fixed volumes of fluid as it passes through. The rotation or movement directly correlates to the volumetric flow rate, making them highly accurate for lubricants and viscous media like oil and grease.

Key Features:

  • Highly accurate volumetric measurement for lubrication fluids
  • Excellent performance with medium-to-high viscosity materials
  • Generates pulse output for integration with electronic monitoring systems
  • Durable internal construction suitable for industrial environments

Benefits:

  • Confirms actual lubricant flow and usage

  • Enhances metering precision and system feedback

  • Reduces waste and supports maintenance tracking

Ideal For:

  • Central lubrication systems with usage tracking

  • Automated metering applications requiring verification

  • Feed systems where volumetric accuracy is essential

Inline Fluid Flow Sensors

Inline flow sensors work with flow meters to detect flow movement non-intrusively or via contactless pickup — converting mechanical motion into digital signals or pulse outputs used for monitoring and control. These sensors allow integration with control computers or PLCs for automated responsiveness.

Key Features:

  • Contactless sensing for reduced maintenance

  • Pulse or electronic output for system feedback

  • Works with gear flow meter systems and other inline solutions

Benefits:

  • Provides real-time flow data to controllers

  • Enables automated alerts or shutoffs based on flow changes

  • Facilitates integration with electronic metering systems

Ideal For:

  • Closed-loop lubrication control

  • Remote monitoring or process integration

Visual and Totalized Flow Monitoring

Some flow meter assemblies incorporate status indicators or totalizer displays to help operators see both instantaneous flow and cumulative lubricant volume over time. This type of feedback is particularly useful for quality assurance, billing, or usage reporting.

Key Features:

  • LED or digital status indicators

  • Totalized volume counters or display readouts

  • Configurable pulse multiplication for higher resolution

Benefits:

  • Easy visualization of flow performance

  • Supports maintenance logs and production reports

  • Helps detect irregular flow caused by blockages or leaks

Ideal For:

  • Operator stations and dashboards
  • Quality assurance monitoring
  • Scheduled lubrication verification
