Lincoln SSV Metering Block: Progressive Divider Valve Selection Guide

Quick Answer: The Lincoln SSV is a mono progressive metering block that distributes a fixed dose of grease or oil to 6–22 lubrication points per cycle. IsoHiTech manufactures Lincoln-compatible SSV blocks with 0.17–0.25 ml/cyc per outlet, 35 MPa (350 bar) maximum pressure, and zinc-plated steel construction. For a quotation, email inquiry@isohitech.com with the part number on your block and the outlet count.

What Is a Lincoln SSV Metering Block?

A Lincoln SSV (also called an SSV progressive divider valve or SSV metering block) is a single-body progressive distributor used in small centralized lubrication systems. Inside the block, a series of metering pistons cycles in sequence: each piston must complete its stroke before the next section receives pressure. This creates a predictable, repeatable delivery pattern to downstream outlets. This guide covers the specifications, ordering codes, and circuit behavior of the SSV family — and where to source SSV-compatible divider valves when a block needs replacing. IsoHiTech manufactures progressive divider valves and complete centralized lubrication systems, and supplies SSV-compatible equivalents for repair and new-build projects.

How an SSV Block Works in a Progressive Circuit

  1. The pump pressurizes the main line to 15–25 MPa working pressure.
  2. Grease or oil enters the SSV inlet and drives the first metering piston.
  3. Each piston completes its stroke in sequence, delivering a fixed volume to its outlet.
  4. Unused outlets can be blocked or combined with plugs to redirect total flow.
  5. When the pump stops, the line depressurizes and the SSV refills for the next cycle.

SSV-Compatible Divider Valves from IsoHiTech

Most SSV blocks are bought for one of two reasons: building a new progressive system, or replacing a block that has failed in service. For the repair case — the machine is down and every day counts — the OEM parts channel is not always the fastest path.

IsoHiTech manufactures progressive divider valves for the same duty class as the SSV family:

  • 6 to 22 outlets, 0.17–0.25 ml/cycle metering
  • NLGI 000–#2 grease or ISO VG 68–1500 oil
  • 35 MPa (350 bar) working pressure class

Send the part number stenciled on your existing block and the outlet count. Our engineering team matches the metering class and mounting, and confirms compatibility before you order — see our Lincoln quicklub divider valve replacements and the SSV-type divider valve product range. If you are specifying a new system rather than repairing one, see how progressive divider blocks work in a full circuit or compare against single-line injector systems.

Replacing a whole block? Our 2-20 outlet SSV-format divider valve is a direct replacement for SSV6-SSV22 blocks.

Can an IsoHiTech SSV block replace a Lincoln SSV directly?

Yes, provided you match outlet count, discharge per outlet, thread/fitting style, and combining layout. The 2–20 outlet divider valve is explicitly marketed as a Lincoln™ SSV replacement.

What pressure should the system run?

Design within the 35 MPa (350 bar) maximum; progressive pumps are typically set in the 15–25 MPa working range depending on hose length, grease grade, and point count.

Which lubricants are compatible?

NLGI 000 through #2 grease and oil from ISO VG 68 to 1500, including synthetic oils where downstream seals and components are compatible.

How do I combine outlets?

Block unused outlets with plugs, or combine adjacent outlets so total flow is directed to active points only. Recalculate ml/cyc per bearing after combining and document the new layout.

Need Help Selecting the Right Parts?
Does IsoHiTech sell genuine Lincoln SSV blocks?

No. IsoHiTech is an independent manufacturer of progressive lubrication dividers. We supply SSV-compatible valves built for the same circuit duty, and cross-match from the part number on your existing block.
