Central Lubrication System
Amatrol’s Central Lubrication Learning System (950-CL1) helps learners build hands-on, job-ready skills in central lubrication maintenance and troubleshooting. Central lubrication systems are used throughout industry, and this system supports practical training on both piston distributor and series/progressive valve lubrication systems.
The 950-CL1 features an electric pump and a programmable system controller so learners can practice operating and programming industry-style components while developing strong lubrication fundamentals such as oils, greases, and lubricant management.
Hands-On Central Lubrication Training
Learners work with real-world, industrial-quality components to operate the electric pump, program the controller, verify lubrication delivery, and troubleshoot both electrical and fluid system issues. This performance-based approach helps learners build confidence and competence for real maintenance environments.
Train on Two Common System Types
- Series/Progressive valve lubrication systems – operation, set-up, and troubleshooting
- Piston distributor lubrication systems – component identification, operation, and troubleshooting
- Electric pump + controller – hands-on operation and programming practice
Built for Safe, Realistic Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting skills are critical for anyone working with central lubrication systems. The 950-CL1 allows realistic faults to be inserted manually into both the electrical and fluid portions of the system to create repeatable, instructor-controlled diagnostic scenarios.
Terminal strip test points are available at key locations throughout the system to help learners isolate faults and verify signals without damaging equipment.
