Vogel

Vogel, now part of SKF's Lincoln division, is a leading manufacturer of automatic central lubrication systems for industrial machines and vehicles. With over 80 years of experience in lubrication technology, Vogel delivers reliable, precisely metered lubrication systems that extend machine life, reduce maintenance times, and optimize energy consumption in the most demanding industrial environments.

The Vogel range includes single-line lubrication systems (ESN, MEG series), dual-line lubrication systems for large installations, progressive lubrication systems with distributor sets (MX, MSP series), circulation lubrication systems for machine tools, minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) systems for CNC machining centers, and lubrication bars for extension applications. Popular products include the ESN single-line central pumps, MDG/SSV progressive distributors, and VPM portable hand lubrication pumps.

Vogel progressive lubrication systems are particularly suited for machines with many lubrication points (machine tools, presses, extruders): a single central pump distributes precisely metered amounts of grease or oil to each lubrication point via a cascade of progressive distributor blocks. This guarantees that every bearing, every slide, and every guideway receives exactly the right amount of lubricant, regardless of the number of lubrication points in the circuit.

Vogel's minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) systems deliver an aerosol of oil and compressed air to cutting tools in CNC machines. This reduces lubricant consumption by up to 95% compared to flood coolant lubrication, with equivalent or better machining quality. MQL is essential for dry and near-dry machining processes.

At Verkopershulp.nl we carry over 2,237 genuine Vogel parts, including central pumps, distributor blocks, control nipple fittings, connections, tubing, and electronic control modules. As an authorized distributor we guarantee fast delivery and technical support.

History

Vogel Pumpen was founded in the 1930s in Germany as a specialist in lubrication technology for industry. The company pioneered central lubrication systems that automatically served multiple lubrication points in a single machine, eliminating manual lubrication. From the 1950s to the 1970s Vogel grew into a European leader in progressive and single-line lubrication systems. In the 1990s and 2000s Vogel was acquired by Lincoln GmbH, a subsidiary of American Lincoln Industrial. This broadened the distribution network to North America, Asia, and other markets. In 2012 Lincoln was acquired by SKF, after which Vogel was fully integrated into SKF's Lincoln division for central lubrication systems. Today Vogel products are manufactured and distributed under the SKF Lincoln banner, but the Vogel brand remains active for existing installations. SKF is investing in digital lubrication monitoring, IoT connectivity, and energy-efficient lubrication systems for the industry of the future.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does a Vogel progressive lubrication system work? ▾
In a progressive lubrication system a central pump delivers lubricant to the first distributor block, which serves the outlet channels alternately in a fixed sequence (progressively). Each outlet channel leads to the next distributor block or directly to a lubrication point. The progressive operation guarantees that all lubrication points are served before the cycle repeats. Any blockage in one line is signaled by a differential pressure indicator.
What is the difference between a Vogel single-line and dual-line lubrication system? ▾
A single-line system distributes lubricant via one main line through metering valves that deliver a fixed amount at each lubrication point per pressure stroke. A dual-line system uses two main lines alternately pressurized; metering valves switch lines each cycle. Dual-line systems suit very large installations with hundreds of lubrication points over long distances.
Which lubricants are suitable for use in Vogel central systems? ▾
Vogel single-line and progressive systems are suitable for mineral and synthetic lubricating oils (ISO VG 10-320), fluid greases (NLGI 000 and 00), and in special versions for solid greases (NLGI 0, 1, 2). Never use greases with large solid additives that can block metering valves and distributors. Consult the Vogel compatibility guide for your specific system.
How do I check that my Vogel lubrication system is working correctly? ▾
Each distributor block has a control nipple connection where you can check flow by attaching a measurement cap. Verify that the lubrication cycle duration matches the set timer. Inspect all lines and connections for leakage. An indicator light or pressure switch on the pump signals when system pressure is not reached, indicating a blockage.
How do I set the lubrication interval on a Vogel central pump? ▾
The lubrication interval is set via the electronic timer module on the pump. Set the pause time (interval between lubrication cycles) and the run time (pump active period per cycle). The correct interval depends on machine load, ambient temperature, and required lubricant amount per point. Consult machine documentation or lubricant specifications for the recommended interval.
Are Vogel distributor blocks modularly expandable? ▾
Yes, Vogel MDG and SSV progressive distributor blocks are modularly built. You can expand the number of outlet sections by adding additional section plates without replacing the entire distributor. The maximum number of sections per block depends on the specific distributor type. This allows easy expansion when machine modifications are made.
Does Verkopershulp.nl supply tubing and fittings for Vogel lubrication systems? ▾
Yes, we supply Vogel/Lincoln compatible lubrication tubing in plastic (Nylon PA, PE) and steel, connection fittings, T-pieces, elbows, quick couplings, and sealing tapes for all common Vogel system dimensions (4, 6, 8, 10mm outside diameter). Compression couplings, reducers, and protective caps for connection points are also available.
What are the maintenance requirements for Vogel lubrication pumps? ▾
Refill the lubricant reservoir promptly (at low-level alarm), periodically replace seals and pump elements per the maintenance schedule (typically every 3-5 years), and clean the filter mesh in the suction line. Check all connections for leakage at each annual machine shutdown. Verkopershulp.nl supplies genuine Vogel pump overhaul kits for all common pump models.
