Abstract:
A lubricant distributor for delivering lubricant to at least one lubrication point includes a lubricant distributor housing with a cylinder bore, a metering piston mounted for reciprocal movement in the cylinder bore, and a detector connected at an end of the cylinder bore, the detector including an entry bore configured to receive a portion of the metering piston, and the entry bore being in fluid communication with the cylinder bore, and the detector including an interior space separated from the entry bore by a wall and a Hall sensor in the interior space. The detector is configured to output a detection signal in response to detecting the portion of the metering piston in the entry bore. Also a method of operating the lubricant distributor.
