Since 1910, Lincoln Industrial has been an innovator.

Lincoln Industrial can trace its tradition of providing creative customersolutions to companies on two continents—Lincoln Engineering, St.Louis, Missouri, and Helios Apparatebau O. Wetzel & Co., Heidelberg,Germany. Lincoln Engineering developed the first grease gun for lubricating mining cars, pioneered advancements in lubrication equip-ment used by automobile service stations, and invented automatedlubrication systems and industrial thick-fluid transfer pumps. HeliosApparatebau, which began by providing lubrication methods for elevators and public rail transportation, introduced many industriallubrication innovations, including the first two-line lubrication system andthe first system for grease lubrication of moving points on conveyors.

In 1972, the two firms joined forces to form Lincoln Industrial. Withmore than 700 employees worldwide, we lead the world in automatedlubrication, continuing a strong tradition of innovation.

Lincoln Industrial has the right solution for your company, whether it’smanual lubrication, simple automated systems, or large-scale centralizedinstallations. With the BearingSaver® program and our extensive productofferings, we match the correct lubrication or pumping system to everycustomer and each application. Savings and increased productivity arethe tangible results.

Automotive ManufacturingWe lubricate the intricate ballet of robotic activity on the welding line, pro-vide lubrication systems that move with complex conveyors, and helpautomakers apply adhesives and sealants in numerous applications.

Heavy IndustrySteel, cement, glass, chemical plants, utilities—heavy industry operatesin the toughest environments with large-scale lubrication needs. Oursystems—which can feed thousands of lubrication points over greatdistances—offer the most cost-effective answer.

Pulp and PaperPapermaking machinery operates in a punishing environment of mois-ture and heat. Our automated lubrication systems eliminate bearingfailures and reduce high downtime costs caused by too much or toolittle lubrication on the paper machine, as well as in the wood yard,debarking area, pulp mill, and bleach plant. Our systems also stop“grease breaks,” paper tears caused by over-lubrication. The result ishigher productivity and increased safety for maintenance employees.

Food and BeverageWith complex equipment, difficult environmental factors, concerns aboutcontamination, and extensive use of conveyors, the food and beverageindustry has a pressing need for the very best lubrication systems.

Lincoln Industrial meets the needs of the food and beverage and otherindustries. Rhein-Main-Sieg, the Coca-Cola bottling plant in Bendorf,Germany, is a prime example. It saves $250,000 a year with a LincolnIndustrial automated conveyor-and-machine lubrication system. Theinstallation incorporates centralized lubricant storage and electroniccontrols that automatically adjust for changes in plant temperature.

“We specified Lincoln Industrial because they had the rightsystem and the expertise to install it correctly.”

Olaf Böttcher, Maintenance Manager, Rhein-Main-SiegCoca-Cola Bottling Plant, Germany.

On the road or in the field, Lincoln Industrial protects your investment.

Expensive equipment used in trucking, agriculture, mining andconstruction must be properly maintained. The traditional relianceon manual lubrication in these industries is giving way to central-ized and automatic systems . . .

. . . and to a reliance on Lincoln Industrial. Caterpillar, Scania, Volvo,Komatsu, John Deere, Klaas, Iveco and other manufacturers makeLincoln Industrial’s factory-fit lubrication systems part of their equip-ment. That happened because customers will settle for nothing lessthan Lincoln Industrial. Our network of distributors, who specializein chassis lubrication, continue to prove the benefits of our systems.

Over-The-Road TruckingFrom centralized manual trailer kits to completely automated tractorsystems, international manufacturers, commercial carriers and largeprivate fleets take advantage of our money-saving lubrication methodsto keep their trucks where they can make money—on the road.

Agricultural EquipmentWhether it’s a large agricultural cooperative or an individual farmer,today’s user of high-cost farm equipment understands that automatedlubrication is a critical part of the industry’s maintenance philosophy.Original equipment manufacturers worldwide specify Lincoln Industrialsystems for their products to add value and to ensure long, productiveworking lives.

MiningLarge mining equipment typically costs millions of dollars, so it’s notsurprising that companies have specified Lincoln Industrial automat-ed lubrication systems for more than 30 years. Today, the industrydemands factory installation of our systems as standard equipment.

ConstructionDirt, wind, rain, extreme heat, bitter cold—construction equipmentoperators face these conditions every day. Equipment owners knowthat their critical investment is in jeopardy without proper lubrication.That’s why they increasingly turn to Lincoln Industrial.

Southdown Concrete Products is only one example of the manycompanies profiting from their association with Lincoln Industrial.Southdown uses our Quicklub® system to protect a fleet of morethan 200 frontloaders, cement trucks and tractor-trailer rigs.

“We’re saving more than $200,000 annually on vehicle main-tenance by using Lincoln Industrial Automated Lubrication.”

Terry Green, Director of Maintenance for Southdown Inc.’sConcrete Products Group, the third largest producer ofcement products in the U.S.

Lincoln Industrial offers a complete line of automated lubrication systems.

While bearings are working, our automated systems lubricate them atfrequent predetermined intervals with measured amounts of lubricant.Depending on the application, these systems can be centralized, withlarge-capacity lubricant containers, they can lubricate a smaller area ina plant, or they can ensure the smooth performance of a single valuablemachine. With our BearingSaver program, we find the best automatedsolution for you from our wide range of systems for grease, fluid grease,or oil.

Two-line SystemsOur Helios® and Duo-Matic™ two-line lubrication systems are speciallydesigned for larger applications and the high-viscosity lubricants com-monly found in steel mills, cement plants, paper mills and processingplants. The system distributes lubricant over greater distances using twolines to deliver grease alternately to metering devices.

Centro-Matic®

Our single-line system, Centro-Matic, lubricates many points simulta-neously. By choosing the correct injector for each lubrication point andmaking simple adjustments, it always dispenses the exact amount oflubricant needed. And if you add a piece of machinery, the system iseasily expanded with additional injectors. System Sentry electronicmonitoring capabilities allow for total control at the lubrication point.Centro-Matic configurations are also available for chain-lubricationapplications.

Modular Lube®

Progressive plunger systems lubricate many points, one after another. A pump carries grease to the lubricating point via progressive meteringvalves. Modular Lube valves are custom-built for each series of lubrica-tion points and can be serviced without disturbing the primary installation.And to further protect your expensive equipment, a system equippedwith the proper accessories can also detect lubricant blockage.

Quicklub®

Quicklub is a progressive plunger system utilizing standard meteringvalves. Effective for use with smaller lubrication points, this simplifieddesign saves money in many manufacturing applications, as well asfor over-the-road trucks and off-road construction equipment. And bycombining Quicklub metering valves with two-line systems or Centro-Matic, you can get the larger capacity you need at an economical cost.

Application specialists make sure our systems are installedcorrectly and our technicians are properly trained because ourcustomers deserve the very best value for their investment.

Lincoln Industrial offers ORSCO precision oil lubrication systems.

ORSCO’s top-quality, microprocessor-controlled lubrication systemsfor manufacturing and assembly operations perfectly complementLincoln Industrial’s range of grease and oil lubrication products.

Well respected in automotive manufacturing, ORSCO products aregaining recognition in a broader range of industries. ORSCO systemsincrease Lincoln Industrial’s ability to customize applications for eachcustomer.

ORSCO lubrication equipment, which controls extremely fine amountsof lubricating oil in precise, non-mist sprays, comes in two categories:

Coaxial SystemsMainly used in automotive assembly applications, these systems pro-vide oil injection for precise lubrication of air tools. ORSCO coaxialsystems incorporate a capillary tube filled with oil that is insertedthrough the air line to a position just four inches from the air motor inlet.A precise amount of oil is dispensed just before the air enters the tool,eliminating over-lubrication while increasing tool life and performance.A network of distributors with vast knowledge of air tool use andassembly operations supports these systems.

Engineered SystemsORSCO’s engineered systems continuously or intermittently sprayminute amounts of lubricating oil. These systems handle key applications,including the lubrication of vital engine parts during assembly, the micro-processor-controlled lubrication of extremely high-speed machine toolspindles and the fine spraying of oil to protect chains and conveyors.

These systems range in complexity and capability, depending upon theapplication requirements. From Series 100, the basic system that’s usedwhen space and economy are the primary concerns, to Series 300, witha microprocessor controlling lubrication to as many points as the cus-tomer needs, ORSCO systems can handle the toughest assignments.

Greg Hoag, a field erector for Marshall and WilliamsCompany, prepares an ORSCO 150 unit for installation in theconveyor system of a textile mill in Mexico City.

Sometimes a simple approach is the best solution.
