Lincoln VSKV2 Dual-Line Metering Valve

Aftermarket VSKV2 Dual-Line Metering Valve

This page describes an aftermarket dual-line lubricant metering device that cross-references the Lincoln VSKV2. Lincoln is a trademark of its respective owner. This is an aftermarket metering device, not manufactured, sponsored, or endorsed by Lincoln. VSKV2 designations are for cross-reference identification only.

The unit has 2 vertical outlets on the front face. It is designed for dual-line systems where two main lines alternate pressure. VSKV indicates vertical outlets, while VSKH indicates horizontal outlets; both share the same technical core.

VSKV Versus VSKH Orientation

VSKV outlets are located on the front face. VSKH outlets are located on the side. The specifications are identical. The choice is pipework routing only. Confirm orientation from your installation drawing before ordering.

Picking the wrong orientation usually means re-bending outlet tubes or adding adapters, so it is worth checking the drawing twice. Where space is tight along the machine frame, a side outlet can be easier to route than a front one. Where the valve mounts on a flat manifold face, the front outlet version is often the cleaner layout. Both bodies take the same threads and the same metering internals.

KR, D, and KD Metering Versions

KR adjusts continuously in the field. D and KD are set by screw selection. The KR version suits commissioning and applications where point demand may change, because the dose can be trimmed after installation. The D and KD versions suit fixed layouts where the dose is known and a locked setting is preferred. The indicator pin on KR and KD gives a quick visual check that the pistons are cycling during each half cycle.

Specifications

How Dual-Line Metering Works

The cycle has two phases. Line A is pressurized while line B is vented, pistons shift and dose. Then line B is pressurized and line A is vented, pistons return and dose again. Each outlet meters every half cycle. See dual-line lubrication systems and dual-line systems guide.

What to Confirm Before Ordering

Confirm orientation VSKV or VSKH. Confirm version KR, D, or KD. Confirm outlet count 2 (VSK series has 1-8). Confirm threads G 1/4 or 1/4 NPTF. Confirm lubricant and temperature for the seal version. See dual-line valve blocks. To select the right configuration, contact the team.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between VSKV and VSKH?

VSKV has vertical front face outlets. VSKH has horizontal side outlets, with the same specs.

How do KR, D, and KD versions differ?

KR is adjustable and D uses fixed screws. KD adds an indicator pin to fixed screws.

Is the KR adjustment continuous?

Yes, KR adjusts continuously. The range is 0 to 1.5 cm3 per cycle.

What fixed volumes are available?

Fixed screws are 0.3, 0.6, 1.2, and 1.5 cm3. D and KD versions use these.

What is the maximum pressure?

The maximum operating pressure is 400 bar. That equals 5,800 psi.

Is grease to NLGI 3 acceptable?

Yes, grease to NLGI 3 works. Oil from 20 cSt is also acceptable.

What thread options are available?

Inlet and outlet threads are G 1/4. The alternative is 1/4 NPTF.

What monitoring options exist?

Options include indicator pin, magnetic indicator, or proximity switch. Availability depends on version.

Can one outlet be used on this valve?

VSK series has 1-8 outlets. Confirm your required outlet configuration before ordering.
