Thousands of lubrication points. One source of lubrication expertise.
SKF lubrication expertise involves the science of tribology, the study of friction, wear, fatigue and lubrication.
Studies carried out by the SKF Engineering and Research Centre have shown that 36% of premature bearing failures are caused by lubrication problems - too much, too little, the wrong type, or contaminated lubricant.
Preventing such lubrication-related failures, as well as ensuring optimal bearing and machine performance, means delivering the right lubricant, in the right amount, with the right lubrication system, at the right lubrication point. Wherever your machine runs.
Today, SKF delivers a complete line of lubrication solutions to do exactly that:
Centralized Lubrication Systems
SKF centralized lubrication systems feed lubricant from a central source to the connected points on a machine or machining systems. Friction and wear is minimized, often unsafe manual lubrication is eliminated and lubricant amount is optimized.
SKF centralized lubrication systems are virtually maintenance-free. Maintenance is limited to refilling the lubrication reservoir and periodic visual inspection of the connected lubrication points.
Minimal Quantity Lubrication Systems
SKF automatic lubrication technologies offer a number of important advantages, from faster production and reduced maintenance costs to a healthier, more environmentally friendly workplace. They include the industry's most advanced, automated minimal quantity lubrication (MQL) systems for machining processes.
Lubricators & Manual lubrication
From single-point to multi-point units, SKF automatic lubricators provide reliable time- and labor-saving alternatives to manual lubrication. Around-the-clock SKF solutions such as SYSTEM 24 and SYSTEM MultiPoint provide precise, contaminant-free grease, with minimal risk of over- or under-lubricating.
Manual lubrication is comprised of grease guns, packers, pumps and meters. SKF manual lubrication products give maintenance professionals many user-friendly tools to keep bearings supplied with precise amounts of contaminant-free grease.
Lubricants
The extensive line of SKF lubricants includes a range of greases and oils, and reflects decades of research and development across many industries. |
