Product Description
Metering Cartridge
With optimum capability and rich industry expertise, we have been able to emerge as a trusted manufacturer and supplier of Metering Cartridge. It is a sort of mini cylinder with a special check valve where stroke of piston determines the dosage of oil. The complete design of this cartridge does not allow it to leak at low as well as at high pressure of oil. We manufacture this cartridge at our sound production unit using high quality materials. The ejected oil will not return back to the cartridge due to in-built check valve. Metering Cartridge is available in different sizes and specifications as per client's requirements.
Features:
- Comes with copper seal ring
- Ejects out metered amount of oil
- Wide temperature range
A metering cartridge is a component in single-point automatic lubrication systems that precisely dispenses a fixed amount of lubricant (oil or grease) to a specific lubrication point. It acts like a mini-cylinder with a check valve, delivering a pre-determined volume of lubricant each time the pump is activated. When the pump pressure is released, the cartridge refills itself for the next cycle.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
-
Function:
Metering cartridges ensure accurate and consistent lubrication of moving parts in machinery. They prevent over-lubrication or under-lubrication, which can lead to friction, wear, and component failure.
-
Mechanism:
They typically consist of a small cylinder with a piston or plunger. When the pump is activated, it pushes lubricant into the cylinder, forcing the piston to move and eject a specific volume of lubricant. When the pump stops, a spring or other mechanism returns the piston to its initial position, refilling the cylinder.

Key features:
- Displacement Volume: Metering cartridges are available in various sizes, each designed to dispense a specific volume of lubricant (e.g., 0.10 cc, 0.16 cc, 0.25 cc, 0.40 cc).
- Check Valve: The check valve prevents backflow of lubricant and ensures that the correct amount is dispensed.
- Pressure Requirements: They have specific pressure ratings (maximum and minimum) for proper operation.
-
Applications:
Metering cartridges are widely used in various industries, including manufacturing, automotive, and mining, where automated lubrication systems are employed.
