Abstract
A lubrication system for lubricating at least one movable machine component includes a lubricant reservoir containing a lubricant and a fluid line fluidly coupled with the reservoir and having an outlet for dispensing the lubricant on or within the machine component. A valve selectively permits lubricant flow through the fluid line so as to dispense a quantity of lubricant through the fluid line outlet. A sensor senses a property of the machine component or the quantity of lubricant. A control is coupled with the sensor and with the valve, the control being configured to receive information from the sensor, to determine an estimated period of effectiveness of the quantity of lubricant using the sensor information, and to operate the valve based on the estimated lubricant effectiveness period so as to dispense another quantity of lubricant on or within the machine component.
