These instructions contain impor-
tant information on function, appli-
cation possibilities, assembly and
disposal of the BECHEM lubrica-
tor and shall contribute to a maxi-
mum of safety during use and an
efficient product application.
The BECHEM Lubricator 125 is
an electrochemically driven device
for automatic supply of lubrication
points with lubricating grease or
lubricating oils. For this purpose, the
lubricator is screwed into the thread
hole of the previously removed
lubrication fitting. Over a certain
period of time it dispenses a pre-
set amount of lubricant quantity.
The lubricator is particularly suit-
able for supplying lubricant to
(difficult to access) single lubri-
cation points. It can be used at
lubrication points of plain and
roller bearings, linear guides,
shafts, spindles, roller and toothed
chains, seals, ropes and open
gears. If necessary, extension
tubes can also be used.
These safety instructions make no
claim to completeness. If you have
any questions or problems please
contact your BECHEM sales part-
ner. The BECHEM Lubricator 125
has been developed and manu-
factured according to the state of
the art and the accepted safety
regulations. Please read the follo-
wing general safety and warning
instructions carefully before putting
the lubricator into operation to
avoid personal injury or damage
to property.
When reselling this product, the
technical manual must always be
included or accessible. The latest

Resellers are obliged to provide
the information properly in the
respective national language.
1. Introduction and
intended use 2. Safety instructions
2.1 Use
The intended use requires that
these instructions and especi-
ally chapter 2 on safety instruc-
tions are read and observed. The
BECHEM Lubricator 125 is a pro-
duct according to the machine-
ry directive 94/9/EC. Assembly,
commissioning, operation and
maintenance should principal-
ly be carried out by trained and
qualified personnel only, as this
requires basic knowledge of me-
chanics, related technical terms
as well as of pertinent standards,
regulations and accident preven-
tion measures.
2.2 Safety and warning
instructions
The safety instructions point out
dangers of personal injury and
damage to property. Please pay
particular attention to sections
marked with this symbol:
Indicates a danger to the health of
persons, which can lead to seri-
ous injuries.
General safety instructions:
• Please note the country-specific
regulations for accident preven-
tion, environmental protection
and workplace.
• Use the lubricator only in techni-
cally flawless.
• Check the product for obvious
defects such as cracks in the ca-
sing, missing covers and seals.
• The lubricator must not be
changed, opened or modified,
otherwise the manufacturer‘s
warranty will become void and
personal injury or application
damage may occur.
• Opening the top part by remo-
ving the anthracite-colored ring
may only be performed by quali-
fied personnel.
• Please pay attention to the safety
data sheets and the technical
data sheets of the filled BECHEM
lubricants.
• Use the device exclusively in the
area of application specified in
chapter 1, introduction and in-
tended use.

of according to the regulations.
Safety instructions for installation
and use:
• Wear protective gloves, protec-
tive clothing and eye protection
during installation.
• During assembly, ensure that the
lubricator and its components
are securely fastened.
• During installation and mainte-
nance on machines and systems,
the relevant operating instruc-
tions and safety instructions must
be observed and complied with.
• Ensure that all seals and covers
are correctly installed and unda-
maged to prevent the intrusion
of foreign objects.
• Make sure that all electrical con-
nections are in use or closed.
Only put a fully installed product
into operation.
• Make sure that the lubricant
supply is ensured.
Safety instructions for
maintenance:
• Do not clean the lubricator with
solvents or aggressive cleaning
agents.
• Avoid electrostatic charges by
cleaning the lubricator from the
outside with an antistatic cloth
using little pressure.
• The lubricator must be disposed
of in accordance with the rele-
vant national regulations.
Obligations of the operator:
The operator of the lubricator must
regularly inform his personnel
about the following topics:
• Observance of the technical
manual and the legal regulations.
• Correct operation and use of the
lubricator.
• Observe the instructions of the
factory security and the opera-
ting instructions of the operator.
• Behavior in case of emergency.

3.1 Setup and functionality of
the BECHEM Lubricator
The BECHEM Lubricator 125 is
activated by closing the con-
tacts by using the jumper. This
triggers an electrochemical re-
action, producing nitrogen as an
intermediate product, which leads
to a pressure build-up in the ni-
trogen chamber. This pressure
is transferred to the piston by a
bellow. The piston displaces the
lubricant, which is supplied to
the lubrication point via the outlet
opening. The lubricant delivery
quantity can be regulated by four
jumper positions (see setting the
running time under 6.1.2).
3. Product setup and
technical data
Page 8/20
The lubricator can be used inde-
pendent of the position. A visual
control of the filling level is possible.
After expiration of the operating
time the lubricator will be replaced
by a new unit. The housing is
weatherproof, splash-proof, corro-
sion resistant and offers protection
against temporary submersion
(IP67).

cator and its components:
• Relative air humidity 30 % – 80 %,
non-condensing.
• No direct sunlight.
• Storage temperature
-20 °C – +50 °C.
• The storage period depends on
