Thousands One
With more than 100 years of rotating machinery expertise, SKF knows bearings. And since much of that expertise involves the science of tribology the combination of friction, wear and lubrication sciences SKF knows lubrication, too.

Lubricants
The extensive line of SKF lubricants includes a range of greases and oils, and reflects decades of research and development across many industries. The comprehensive guide featured in this catalog makes choosing the right lubricant easy select the appropriate grease or oil according to the temperature, speed and load ranges of a particular application.

Manual lubrication
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.

of lubrication needs source for lubrication expertise


For example, as much as 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 performance, means delivering the right lubricant, in the right amount, at the right time, with the right lubrication system, at the right lubrication point. Today, SKF delivers a complete line of lubrication solutions to do exactly that. We can now offer a complete range, from specialized lubricants and manual lubricators to the most sophisticated automatic and centralized lubrication systems on the market.

Automatic lubricators
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 SKF SYSTEM 24 and SKF MultiPoint provide precise, contaminant-free grease, with minimal risk of over- or under-lubricating.

Centralized lubrication systems


SKF Centralized Lubrication Systems feed lubricant from a central source to the connected points on a machine or machining system. 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.

Accessories
SKF lubrication accessories include a broad range of products designed to make lubrication safer, more efficient, and more convenient for operators. Disposable gloves improve worker safety, while Oil Safe dispensing and storage drums and lids protect against contamination. Small, portable daily lubrication kits and hand-held grease pumps make maintenance tasks easier, while large pumps for centralized and chain lubrication systems deliver measurable savings.

SKF bearing greases: the perfect solution for every application
Even the very best bearing can only show optimum performance when it is lubricated correctly. Here, it is extremely important to choose the right bearing grease and to apply the most suitable lubrication intervals and methods. This realization has prompted SKF to look intensively into the subject of lubrication. SKF engineers consider grease to be a fundamental component of the bearing arrangement and thus, as important as the bearing, housing and sealing. SKFs vast experience in the development of rolling bearings forms the basis for the development of a special range of lubricants, the superior quality of which is obtained through continuous testing and studies. The strict standards and testing parameters developed and applied at the SKF Engineering and Research Center have become internationally recognized benchmarks for bearing greases. The comprehensive range of SKF bearing greases is the result of many decades of research and development. Each individual lubricant is precisely adjusted to the respective field of application.

SKF sets the standard


Tangible performance parameters mean more to SKF than the chemical composition of the lubricant. The chemical composition is not the only factor in determining the quality of a particular grease, since modern lubricants are extremely complex. SKF has set the standards for developing special testing parameters.

Bearing grease selection


Selecting the right bearing grease for a certain application is essential for achieving the maximum service life of a bearing. Selection criteria for correct lubrication include bearing type and size, temperatures, speeds and loads, as well as the desired service life and re-lubrication intervals. To select the proper SKF grease, refer to the reference table for temperature, speed and load ranges. SKF greases suitable for use in an application based on the combination of temperature, speed and load ranges are shown in the charts on pages 7-9. More information about all SKF greases can be found on pages 11 to 15 and in the technical information section on pages 24 to 28.

Lubricants
Re-lubrication intervals
Choosing the right bearing grease for a certain application is critical to bearing performance. Applying the correct quantity of grease at the right intervals is of equal importance. Over or undergreasing as well as inadequate lubrication methods can shorten the bearings service life. For determining the right amount of grease and the correct re-lubrication intervals for a specific application, SKF has developed DialSet, a simple computerized re-lubrication calculation program. Calculated re-lubrication intervals are based on the latest lubrication theories published in the SKF General Catalogue (6000 EN) and depend on bearing type used, application conditions and properties of selected bearing grease.

Lubrication methods
The lubrication method used is equally important to the right bearing grease, quantity and lubrication intervals. Using lubricators, manual or automatic, facilitates proper lubricant supply to the application. Maintaining cleanliness when lubricating bearings is crucial, as contamination can cause the bearing to fail prematurely. Using a grease meter in combination with a grease gun or pump during manual lubrication helps ensure the supply of the right quantity of grease. SKFs range of grease guns, pumps and lubrication accessories is designed for contaminationfree grease supply as well as easeofuse. Continuous lubrication, using automatic lubricators or systems, provides the application with a consistent and controlled supply of bearing grease. This reduces the risk of over or under greasing and positively contributes to optimizing the bearings service life. Additionally, automatic re=lubrication reduces the risk of contamination. Around-the-clock solutions offered by SKF provide precise and reliable grease supply, adjusted to the applications needs.

Lubricants Glossary of lubrication terms


Thickener or soap
Thickener or soap is the system which holds the oil and/or additives together to enable the lubricating grease to function. The thickener system is formed from either soaps or nonsoaps. The type of thickener gives the grease its typical characteristics. Soaps are based on lithium, calcium, sodium, barium or aluminium. Nonsoaps are based on organic or non organic solids, bentonite clay, polyurea or silica gel.

Note: SKF high performance, high temperature bearing grease LGHP 2 is not a common polyurea type grease. It is a diurea bearing grease, which has successfully been tested for compatibility with lithium and lithium complex thickened greases i.e. LGHP 2 is compatible with such greases.

16

Base oil
The base oil is the oil inside the grease, which provides lubrication under operating conditions. Greases are normally based on mineral oils. Synthetic oils can be used for very specific applications such as extremely high or low temperatures. The base oil generally constitutes more than 70% of a greases composition.

Grease consistency/ penetration


A measure of the stiffness of a grease. The consistency is classified according to a scale developed by the NLGI (National Lubricating Grease Institute). This is based on the degree of penetration achieved by allowing a standard cone to sink into the grease at a temperature of 25 C (77 F) for a period of five seconds. The depth of penetration is measured on a scale of 10-1 mm and the softer greases allow the cone to penetrate further into the grease, hence the higher penetration number. The test method is in accordance with DIN ISO 2137. Refer to chart below

Mechanical stability
The consistency of a rolling bearing grease should not alter, or only slightly be altered during the working life of the rolling bearing. Depending on the application, the following tests can be performed to evaluate the mechanical stability of a grease.

Prolonged penetration test


The grease sample is filled into a cup and, using an automatic device (called a grease worker) subjected to 100 000 double strokes. At the end of the test, the penetration of the grease is measured. The difference between the measured penetration at 60 strokes and after 100 000 strokes penetration is reported as the change in 10-1 mm.

Base oil viscosity


Viscosity is a measure of a fluids flow characteristics and is usually expressed in terms of the time required for a standard quantity of the fluid, at a given temperature, to flow through a standard orifice. Since viscosity decreases with increasing temperature, the temperature at which it is measured is always stated. The viscosity of base oils is always indicated as a kinematic viscosity abbreviated to cSt, at 40 C (104 F) and often also at 100 C (212 F).

Drop point
The drop point is the temperature at which the grease sample, when heated, will begin to flow through an opening and is measured according to DIN ISO 2176. The drop point does not relate to the allowable operating service temperature of the grease.

Additives
Additives are used to provide additional characteristics such as wear and corrosion protection, friction reducing effects and preventing damage under boundary and mixed lubrication conditions.

17

Lubricants
Roll stability test
The change in the grease structure (amount of softening or hardening) can be evaluated by filling a cylinder with a prespecified quantity of grease. A roller is placed inside the cylinder and the complete unit is rotated for 2 hours at room temperature in accordance with ASTM D 1403. SKF modified the standard test procedure to reflect the application conditions under which the grease is used to either 72 or 100 hours at a test temperature of 80 C (176 F) or 100 C (212 F) respectively. At the end of the test period, the cylinder is allowed to cool to room temperature and the penetration of the grease is measured. The difference between the original penetration and the value measured is reported as the change in penetration in 10-1 mm.

Corrosion protection
Lubricating greases should protect metal surfaces from corrosive attack in service. The corrosion protection properties of rolling bearing greases are evaluated using the SKF Emcor method, which is standardized under ISO 11007. Under this test method a mixture of lubricating grease and distilled water is present in the bearing. The bearing alternates during a defined test cycle between standstill and rotation at 80 rpm. At the end of the test cycle, the degree of corrosion is evaluated according to a scale between 0 (no corrosion) and 5 (very severe corrosion). A more severe test method is to use salt water to replace the distilled water following the standard test procedure. In addition, the test can also be carried out by continuously allowing water to flow or wash through the bearing arrangement during the test cycle. This test method is called the SKF Distilled Water Washout Test. The evaluation procedure is exactly the same as that used under the standardized method. However the procedure places greater demands on the corrosion protection properties of the grease.

Copper corrosion
Lubricating greases should protect copper alloys used in bearings from corrosive attack while in service. The copper corrosion protection properties of rolling bearing greases are evaluated using the standardized method DIN 51811. A copper strip is immersed in the grease sample and placed in an oven. The strip is then cleaned and the degradation is observed. The result is rated by a numerical system.

Water resistance
The water resistance of lubricating greases is measured in accordance with DIN 51 807 part 1. A glass strip is coated with the candidate grease, which is placed into a waterfilled test tube. The test tube is immersed in a water bath for three hours at a specified test temperature. The change in the grease is evaluated visually and reported as a value between 0 (no change) and 3 (major change) along with the test temperature.

SKF V2F test


The candidate grease is tested for mechanical stability using the following procedure. The test rig consists of a railway axle box subjected to vibration shocks of 1Hz from a bouncing hammer producing an acceleration force level between 12 15 gs. The test is run at two different speeds, 500 and 1 000 rpm. If the grease, which leaks from the housing through the labyrinth seal which is collected in a tray after 72 hours at 500 rpm, weighs less than 50 grams, the test is continued for a further 72 hours at 1 000 rpm. If the total amount of grease leakage after both tests (72 hours at both 500 and 1 000 rpm) does not exceed 150 grams, then a rating of M is given. If the grease only fulfills the first part of the test (72 hours at 500 rpm with a grease leakage of 50 grams or less) but fails the second stage, a rating of m is given. If the grease leakage after 72 hours at 500 rpm is greater than 50 grams, then it is rated as failed.
18

Oil separation
Lubricating greases release oil when stored for long periods of time or when used in bearings as a function of temperature. This phenomenon is necessary to ensure good lubrication. The degree of oil separation will depend upon the thickener, base oil and manufacturing method. A cup is filled with a given quantity of grease (which is weighed before the test) and a 100 gram weight placed on top of the grease. The complete unit is put into an oven at 40 C (104 F) for one week. At the end of the week, the amount of oil which has leaked through the sieve is weighed and reported as a percentage of weight loss. The amount of oil separation is measured in accordance with DIN 51 817.

Lubricating ability
The SKF R2F machine assesses the high temperature performance and lubricating ability of a grease, simulating the conditions under which large size bearings operate in housings. The test method is carried out under two different conditions. Test A is conducted at ambient temperature and Test B is conducted at 120 C (248 F). A pass rating in the unheated test (Test A) means that a grease can be used to lubricate larger rolling bearings at normal operating temperatures and also in low vibrating applications. A pass in the heated test (Test B) at 120 C (248 F) means that the grease is suitable for use in large roller bearings operating at elevated temperatures.

EP performances
The 4ball weld load test This method evaluates the EP (Extreme Pressure) performance of a lubricating grease. This test method is standardized under DIN 51 350/4. Three steel balls are held in a cup and a fourth ball is rotated against the three balls at a given speed. A starting load is applied and increased at predetermined intervals until the rotating ball seizes and welds to the three stationary balls. The test indicates the point at which the extreme pressure limit of the grease is exceeded. Greases can be considered as EP greases when the weld load is higher than 2 600 N. The 4ball wear scar test This test is performed with the same rig used in the 4ball weld load test. 1 400 N are applied on the fourth ball for one minute. Then the wear on the three balls is measured. A standard test uses a load of 400 N. However, SKF has decided to increase that to 1 400 N in order to make the test relevant for bearing applications. False brinelling Antifretting properties of a grease can be relevant for certain applications. SKF can assess these properties using the FAFNIR test standardized as ASTM D4170. Two ball thrust bearings are loaded and oscillated. The wear on each bearing is then measured. Greases offer good fretting protection when the measured wear is below 7 mg.

Rolling bearing grease life


The SKF R0F grease test machine determines the grease life and high temperature performance limit of a lubricating grease. Ten deep groove ball bearings are fitted into 5 housings and filled with a given quantity of grease. The test is undertaken at a pre determined speed and temperature. Both an axial and radial load is applied and the bearings run until failure. The time to failure is recorded in hours and a Weibull life calculation is made at the end of the test period to establish the grease life. This information can be used to determine relubrication intervals in an application.

Anti-fretting Agent LGAF 3E
SKF LGAF 3E is a greasy, smooth paste especially developed to prevent fretting corrosion between metal surfaces in loose fit arrangements. Fretting corrosion is caused by very slight oscillations or by vibrations, which may lead to serious damage in bearings and other machine parts and can make dismounting almost impossible.

Reduction of fretting corrosion providing easier dismounting of bearings  Better sliding on designed loose bearing arrangements such as vibrating screens, truck and car wheel bearings  Easier removal of general industrial components in a wide range of applications such as nuts, bolts, flanges, studs, bearings, guide pins, couplings, jack screws, lathe centers, push rods, and spline shafts

Anti-corrosive Agent LHRP 1


SKF LHRP 1 provides excellent longterm corrosion protection to ferrous and nonferrous metals. When applied, it leaves a stable rust protection film over the metal component.

Excellent rust protection in high humidity environments (tests at 30 C / 80 F 90 % relative humidity indicates full protection for at least one year)  Excellent longterm indoor storage protection

Grease Meter LAGM 1000E


Accurate grease quantity measurement for adequate lubrication
It is generally difficult to determine the correct quantity of grease when manually lubricating bearings, either using a grease gun or pump, which can result in either over or undergreasing the bearing. That can negatively affect the bearings service life and possibly result in machine breakdown. The SKF grease meter LAGM 1000E accurately measures grease discharge in volume or weight, in both metric (cm3 or g) and US units (fl. oz. or oz). It has a high maximum pressure of 70 MPa (10 000 psi), making it ideal for use in combination with many types of grease guns and pumps.
 Measures grease discharge in volume or weight, making conversion calculations unnecessary  High accuracy facilitates adequate bearing lubrication, reducing the risk of overor undergreasing  Suitable for all SKF bearing greases of consistency classes up to NLGI 3  An oil and grease resistant rubber sleeve protects the electronics in case of impact  The backlit LCD displays large and cleartoread digits, including low battery indication  Small, compact and lightweight design only 0,3 kg (0.66 lb.)

Piston Pump with Block Feeder PF-VPBM


Manually operated
The piston pumps with a block feeder are used on farm machinery, small stackers and construction machinery as well as motor vehicle superstructures. The piston pump has 6 to 12 lubricant outlets depending on the block feeder. Every stroke of the lever delivers 2 cm3 of lubricant to the feeder. Also available without block feeder with only one M10 x 1 outlet on the front (order no. VGBL 169-000-146). The level of the lubricant in the cartridge can be checked by pulling out the cartridge until distinct resistance is felt. When the cartridge is full, the piston rod can be pulled out approximately 415 mm. Pay attention to cleanliness when changing cartridges, and proceed as follows:
a. Open the toggle-type fastener b. Unscrew the gun tube c. Pull piston rod out to the stop d. Change the cartridge e. Screw in the gun tube f. Close the toggle-type fastener g. Loosen the lock, push in the piston rod up to the stop h. Actuate the vent valve until grease emerges

Re-lubrication calculation program DialSet 4.0


Accurate calculation of relubrication intervals
DialSet is a calculation program, which easily calculates the correct re-lubrication intervals settings. After selecting the criteria and grease relevant to your application, the program provides you with the correct settings for your SKF automatic lubricators.

 Selecting the operating conditions of your application, vertical shaft, outer ring rotation and shock loads, allows accurate calculation of the relubrication intervals  Calculations are based on SKF lubrication theories  Calculated lubrication interval depends on the properties of the selected grease, minimizing the risk of under- or overlubrication and optimizing grease consumption  Calculations are based on SKF automatic lubrication systems grease dispense rates, allowing the recommendation of the correct lubricator setting  Recommended grease quantity depends on the grease replenishment position; side or W33* for optimum grease consumption  Includes a complete list of the SKF SYSTEM 24 family accessories

DialSet 4.0 on CDROM DialSet 4.0 is available on CDROM with calculation in 10 languages: English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Swedish, Portuguese, Russian, Chinese, Thai and Japanese. The program is suitable for PCs working with MS Windows 98 or later. This CD-ROM can be ordered from SKF under designation MP3506. DialSet 4.0 online In addition to the downloadable PDA/PPC and the CDROM versions, SKF also offers you DialSet 4.0 online in English language. The program is available at www.skf.com. After filling in your applications conditions, calculations are made online and the program provides you with a printable relubrication interval recommendation. DialSet 4.0 for PDA/PPC If you own a PDA or a PPC, you can now calculate the correct relubrication intervals onsite. From www.mapro. skf.com you can now download, freeofcharge, the PDA/PPC version of SKFs relubrication calculation program DialSet 4.0 in English language.

* = Some types of bearings have an annular groove and three holes in the outer ring intended to facilitate the lubricant to reach directly the load zone. This groove is identified with the suffix W33. When the lubricant is supplied via this groove, the quantity required is much less than when it is fed from the side of the bearing. DialSet takes this into account and recalculates the required quantities.

SKF Compact Greaser for Linear Guides


An excellent alternative for the lubrication of linear guides and rolling bearings
Compact, automatic, dependable:
Ideal alternative when no centralized lubrication system is available Dependable protection against deficient lubrication As many as five lube points are automatically supplied with lubricant Low maintenance and operating costs Also suitable for the lubrication of high-speed spindle bearings Up to 5 lubricant outlet ports 3 different metered volumes (15 mm3 standard) Suitable for grease, NLGI grades 000 to 2

Exact metering of lubricant quantities resulting in an economic and ecological payoff The SKF Compact Greaser is the ideal alternative when it comes to the lubrication of linear guides and rolling bearings on machinery and equipment if no central lubrication exists. Compared with simple lubricating equipment or manual lubrication, as is often the case in practice, the SKF Compact Greaser provides effective and lasting protection against deficient lubrication. The lubricator automatically supplies up to five lube points with lubricant, for a dependable operation of guides and/or bearings practically for their entire life cycle. The SKF Compact Greaser offers significant benefits from an economical and ecological point of view. Low maintenance and operating costs are combined with variable lube cycles and exact metering of the lubricant quantities required.

Thanks to its low metering volumes the SKF Compact Greaser is also used with appropriate grease for the lubrication of spindle bearings. Simple installation and connection to the machines control system Thanks to its small dimensions and low weight the SKG Compact Greaser weighs only 360 grams with a full cartridge the lubricator is easy to install, even in cramped and complicated conditions. Its maximum power consumption amounts to 24 W, so the SKF Compact Greaser like a solenoid valve can be operated directly by the SPC, namely without a separate power pack or additional circuit breaker. This is where it reveals its superiority over simple lubricators that are not connected to the machines control system and thus go on lubricating even during operating breaks. That leads to higher lubrication costs, unnecessary stress on the environment and damage to bearing seals.

The SKF Compact Greaser is designed for NLGI grade 000 to 2 grease and permits metering rates of 10, 15 or 20 mm per stroke. The number of outlet ports and the metering rates are flexible and can be specified when an order is placed, thus making it possible to find a customized lubrication solution, see the following table. The grease supply will suffice for up to 5 years, depending on the type of grease and its consumption. A bayonet lock makes it easy to replace the lubricators grease cartridge.

Oil Levellers LAHD 500 and LAHD 1000


Automatic adjustment for optimal oil lubrication level
SKF oil levellers, LAHD 500 and LAHD 1000, are designed for automatic adjustment of the optimal oil lubrication level within a bearing housing, gear box, crank case or similar oil bath lubrication application. Not usually possible, SKF oil levellers allow you to effectively adjust the correct oil level during running conditions, optimizing machine performance and increasing the service life of the applications. Furthermore, they automatically compensate for oil leakage and offer the possibility of visual inspection of the oil level.

How it works The SKF oil leveller consists of two communicating oil reservoirs. The lower reservoir is in direct contact with the application and hence its oil level is the same as the oil level inside the application. Through a ventilation hole, the lower reservoir is also in direct contact with the ambient air. The upper reservoir is an airtight container storing replacement oil. Through its extended neck, which dips into the oil of the lower reservoir, the two reservoirs are in direct contact with each other. However, oil can only flow from the upper to the lower reservoir once the oil level in the lower reservoir goes below the preset level, allowing air to flow through the extended neck to the upper reservoir.
 Optimally maintained oil level provides adequate lubrication  Easy visual inspection  Extended relubrication intervals  LAHD 1000 compensates for evaporation losses of up to 1 liter of lubricating oil  Oil must be refilled manually

Piston distributors for single-line lubrication systems
Piston distributors meter out and distribute the oil delivered by an intermittently actuated pump. The quantities of oil for the individual lube points are determined by exchangeable metering nipples. The metered amount is indicated on the individual nipples. The amount needed to cover the total oil demand can then be further regulated via the lubricating frequency. To meet the required quantities and comply with spatial constraints, it is possible to choose among four distributor groups that differ in terms of their metering ranges and sizes. The functional principle of the groups is the same but there are differences in design. Different distributor groups can be used in one installation. Please note: Seal material: NBR. In general, the operating conditions specified for the respective pump units will also apply to the distributors. Limit values for the distributors: Temperature range: 0 to + 80 C (32 to 176 F) Effective oil viscosity: 5 to 2 500 mm/s

Group 340 (0,01 - 0,16 cm3)

Group 350 (0,1 - 0,6 cm3)

Group 390 (0,2 - 1,5 cm3)

Function 1.  T he amount of oil intended for the lube point is stored in front of the piston in the distributor. 2.  W hen the central lubrication pump starts delivering oil, the piston moves and the oil in front of it is fed to the lube point at a main line pressure of 12-45 bar. 3. A  fter the pressure is relieved (1bar) in the main line, the distributors piston returns to its initial position and once again lets a certain quantity of oil flow into the space in front of it.

SKF Dry Lubrication System for Conveyors


Applications The SKF Dry Lubrication System for Conveyors practically eliminates the use of water-soluble lubricants. Using special lubricants, these systems have been developed to lubricate belt conveyor surfaces, as well as the conveyor guides, for the transport of products on bottling and packaging plastic conveyors. A metered volume of lubricant is applied to the belt surface by means of coating plates that contact the conveyor chain at the same time lubricant is directly injected into the conveyor guide with the same lubrication unit. The metered volume of lubricant is independent of any possible lubricant viscosity variation, the line length or the lube point number. Considering the large diversity of conveyors, several system types have been designed in order to suit every kind of application. The SKF Dry Lubrication System is used on filling lines for beverage cartons, plastic bottles, and so on, in the following segments of the food industry:
Milk and dairy plants Fruit juice, sauce and soup production Bottled water production  Beverages (soda, beer, etc.)

Features
Better sliding of the products Reduced chain wear Safety and cleanliness Dry environment, no water Less metal corrosion No deterioration of the conveyed products in the holding area No friction noise or stickslip effect No bacterial growth Complies with environmental standards Approved for use in food applications

A lubrication system helps to keep a constant and sufficient friction coefficient. It can be adapted to any production line (conveyor belt type, carried products).  Too much friction (insufficient sliding) results in:
Possible deterioration of the products (especially cartons) More power consumption for the belt motion (engine overcurrent, extreme tension of the belt) Possible falling of the products when changing direction More wear on the belt surface and guides

Problems on line conveyors Due to the speed difference between the filling machine and the packaging machine, or the failure of one of them, products slow down, fall and collect on the belt conveyor at the end of the line. At the same time guides are supporting the conveyor belt where there is continuous friction. If the friction between the belt and the product is too high (without lubrication), package bottoms can be damaged, especially cartons. The belt then needs more power for moving, resulting in belt damage.

 Where there is not enough friction, products slide too much and it is hard to carry them properly (they slow down or stop moving completely)

And in many other fields such as:


Cleaning products Cosmetics Pharmaceuticals

Centralized lubrication systems


Disadvantages of the water + soap solution
Currently, some lubrication systems are based on a spraying network of water + soap. With these systems, it is not possible to precisely meter the quantity of lubricant sprayed on the belt (it is often higher than the real amount needed), and the use of water causes many problems:
Bacteriological and organic growth High costs due to excessive water consumption and effluent treatment Foaming Corrosion Slippery floors Damaged packages

Centralized lubrication systems


Lubricant application principle
Lubrication of the conveyor belt surface Very small metered quantities of oil are delivered intermittently by a piston metering system into a number of coating plates that contact the conveyor chain. The coating plates deliver an oil film on the chain as long as the unit is actuated. Lubrication of the guides The same metering system, connected to the same central unit, is used to directly inject a metered quantity of lubricant through a tube and connector fitted on the guides.

Dry lubrication
Dry lubrication systems have been especially designed for the lubrication of conveyor surfaces and guides with special lubricant. These systems replace classic wet lubrication systems due to the high performance of the lubricant: a PTFE based oil suitable for the food industry. When correctly metered, it leaves a dry sliding coat on the belt surface and/or its guides. The aim of the dry lubrication system is to deliver automatically and precisely the right quantity at the right friction point (belt surface or guides) from a central unit, which can feed many lubrication points.

SKF Dry Lubrication System for Conveyors

The lubrication of the chain surfaces The piston distributors, with adjustable metered volume, feed the chain surfaces with lubricant. They deliver intermittently a metered volume of lubricant via a secondary line to lubrication plates, which are located under the chain at the end of the return strand. The chain surface sliding on the lubrication plate will be coated with lubricant.

The lubrication of the chain guides The preset piston distributors feed the chain guides with lubricant. They deliver intermittently a metered volume of lubricant via a secondary line to lubrication screws, which are inserted into the guide.

SKF LubriLean
Minimal quantity lubrication systems
When it comes to machine tools, reliability, precision and efficiency are crucial. To help meet these demands, SKF has developed centralized, multipoint lubrication systems that help machines run more smoothly, while also extending the service life of linear guides and bearings. Applications of SKF LubriLean for machine tools includes milling, rolling, cutting, drilling, boring, forming among others. Lubrication between the tool and workpiece is performed by an aerosol that is formed by oil droplets that are finely dispersed in an air stream. Minimal quantity lubrication (MQL) can be fed to the tool or workpiece in two different ways, internal or external.

SKF LubriLean VarioSuper

SKF LubriLean DigitalSuper

SKF LubriLean, internal MQL


With the internal lubrication method, compressed air or the aerosol is applied through the spindle, the tool holder and the tool directly at the point between tool and workpiece. SKF LubriLean VarioSuper and SKF LubriLean DigitalSuper 1 are examples of internal MQL system units that leading original equipment manufacturers install on machine tools for a reliable and productive operation.

Centralized lubrication systems

SKF Oil+Air
Oil and air lubrication systems
SKF Oil+Air lubrication systems are designed primarily for high speed bearings, chains and special applications in the steel industry. A pump, progressive feeder or single line distributor injects a small metered amount of oil into a mixing valve. The air flow is set to a minimum. The oil moves slowly to the lubrication point and provides the bearing or chain with a small, continuous stream of oil and air. This means that the bearing housing is under a slight overpressure, which keeps dirt away from the sensitive bearings. This concept creates no oil mist or oil fog, making it environmentally friendly as well. SKF Oil+Air lubrication systems can be tailor-made and apply leading oil-streak sensor technology. Advantages: Better machining performance due to better speed characteristics (up to some 2,200,000 mm rpm in the case of rolling bearings). Higher reliability due to clean bearings: continuous supply of fresh lubricant in the right amounts; system-related sealing air protects bearings from outside contamination. Less lubricant: As much as necessary, as little as possible for more safety and environmental hygiene; metered quantities for each friction point to meet the precise need, but some 90% less consumption compared with oil-mist lubrication; no mist, clean air to breathe; no repack period compared with grease lubrication. Applications: Prominent applications are the lubrication of high-speed rolling bearings, of the kind used in machine tool spindles and the economical lubrication of closed gearboxes. An oil and air system can be used to apply small quantities of lubricant in production processes involving textile fibres. (gripper lubrication)

SKF ProFlex
Progressive lubrication systems designed for oil, semi-fluid grease and hard grease NLGI grades 000 to 2.
SKF ProFlex systems are designed for small and medium-sized machines. They are used, for example, in the printing industry, construction machines, industrial presses and wind turbines. A feed pump or flow limiter supplies lubricant to the distributor that serves each outlet progressively, with a defined amount of lubricant. Each distributor outlet can also serve a secondary distributor that divides the amount into smaller portions for progressive delivery to their outlets. To control the systems function, only one metering piston has to be controlled on a frequency basis. SKF ProFlex progressive lubrication systems are designed for up to 150 lubrication points with grease or oil. In combination with parallel flow limiters, they can serve up to 1 000 lubrication points or even more with oil. SKF ProFlex includes a wide range of progressive distributors based on a block, segmental or modular design with 2 to 20 outlets, flow rates of 0,01 cc to 6 000 cc/min.and system pressures as high as 300 bar.

SKF ProFlex
Progressive distributors for oil and grease
Progressive distributors
Progressive distributors dispense an amount of lubricant delivered by a pump to several outlets while the feeder determines the volumetric ratio. The different output quantities within a feeder are achieved by the use of various piston diameters or the joining of two or more outlets. The indicated lubricant quantities result from the piston diameter and the travel of the piston. Block distributor VPB The block distributor is available with 3 to 10 pistons and serves, depending on the cross-porting arrangement, 2 to 20 lube points with oil or grease. The stroke volume per cycle is 0,2 ccm. Features

Centralized lubrication systems

Centralized lubrication systems

SKF MultiFlex
Multiline lubrication systems designed for oil, semi-fluid grease and hard grease NLGI grades 000 to 3.
SKF MultiFlex systems are designed for automatic re-lubrication as well as small circulating oil systems on applications in the machine-tool industry, oil and gas, and heavy industry just to name a few examples. Multi-piston pumps supply the lubricant directly to the lube point without the use of extra metering valves. Each lubrication point thus has its own pumping element. The system design is simple, accurate and reliable. SKF MultiFlex systems include a wide range of multi-outlet pumps from 1 to 32 outlets, and are able to withstand system pressures as high as 4 000 bar.

SKF MultiFlex
Pump units, series KFA and KFAS
Pumps belonging to the KFA(S) series come with a maximum of 2 outlet ports for the connection of 2 independent lube circuits. A separate pump element is required for each outlet. Three pump elements with different delivery rates are available so that the volume of grease can be adjusted to the needs of the individual circuits. This feature ensures that every lube point is supplied with an adequate amount of grease in each lubrication cycle. Control is provided by an integral IG502-I control and monitoring unit; it can be operated in a time- or load- (pulse) dependent mode, and with or without monitoring.

The control system provides the following advantages:


Non-volatile memory with PIN-code protection Storage of residual interval and lubricating cycle Storage of fault signals (diagnosis memory) Data save in event of a power failure Connection for external pushbutton Connection for inductive cycle switch Interval and contact times can be set independent of each other, even with monitored systems Electrical connections easy via 7-pole plug connector Please order cable harness separately.

Dual-line accessories
Change-over valve Hydraulic or electrical change-over valves are used in dual-line centralized lubrication systems to control main feed lines 1 and 2. Starting from the lube pump, the main feed lines are alternately used as pressure (P) and return (R) lines. Differential pressure switch The differential pressure switch is used to control the system function. It is installed upstream of the dual-line distributor farthest from the pump to ensure sufficient pressure to all dual-line distributors even under low temperature conditions and with long feed lines. Electrical control units The process routine of dual-line centralized lubrication systems is controlled and monitored with electrical control units. It is possible to choose between continuous and automatic operation on a full-cycle or half-cycle basis. The interval time in the automatic mode is adjustable. The monitoring covers the lube pump with reservoir filling level, the pressure build up and delivery rate as well as the change-over routine. It also checks for leakage in the main feed lines and branch lines all the way to the dual-line distributors. Any fault signals are displayed by control lights mounted on the front of the control cabinet or by moving text on an optional panel on the front. At the same time, fault signals can be received from potential-free contacts. A link up with existing Profibus systems for display and evaluation in the PCS (process control system) is possible.

Oil supply units
SKF Oil supply units are not just tailor made, they also comply with the local safety regulations and environmental constraints. The overall supply system concept is especially designed for the use with lubricating oil which is more viscous than hydraulic oil. Consequently we offer following fine tuned solutions: Oil tanks: Available in steel or stainless steel with special baffle plate arrangements. From a tank size of 1000l we suggest the SKF plate separator technology. This unique design feature allows for a highly efficient use of oil in the tank and eliminates foam resp. air bubbles (degassing) and settles free water and heavy particles. As a result, oil tanks become a lot smaller. On request incl. oil sensors for water content, oil aging etc. Oil pumps: Gear type or screw type pumps. Dependent on the application also in a redundant or in explosion proof design (ATEX) Oil filters: Single or double filters in all purity classes with visual or electrical clogging detection. Oil heaters: Usually based on electric solutions with low surface load, for larger systems also with steam heaters and/or heat carrier oil solutions. Oil coolers: Air or water coolers, tube or plate type design, with all necessary valves and regulating equipment Total system design: Electrically pre-wired on terminal boxes or PCS based as a stand-alone system. Turn-key solutions, installed on the spot, including flow meters or flow limiter systems. Capacity: Tank sizes up to 40 000 l. Flow rates up to 3 000 l/min.

Single-circuit pump units
The pump units specified in this section are lubricant delivery pumps without pressure relief fixtures and are designed for continuous operation in circulating and hydrostatic lubrication systems. These pump units may also be used for hydraulic tasks to the extent permitted by the pressure and viscosity ranges stated in the tables. The drive is provided by a three-phase motor designed for a rated voltage of 230/400 V to DIN IEC 38. The permissible pressure and delivery rates vary with the viscosity. When using oils with viscosities outside the indicated ranges (spindle oils and highly viscous oils), please consult SKF for further information. Please note that even standard oils may become thinbodied or highly viscous due to changes in temperature. Ambient temperature maximum +40 (104 F) Lubricant temperature 0 to +80 C (32 to 176 F) Explanation of the hydraulic function Referring to the diagrams below, oil is sucked in at S and flows through the pressure duct in direction P. The oil pressure closes valve V and opens valve E3 against spring tension. If air is entrained (due to low oil level in the reservoir), valve V remains open and bleeds the air or the air-intermixed oil into the return duct (see arrows marking the flow in directions R1 and R2 respectively). Valve C1 allows the excess-pressure oil to flow into the return duct. Explanation of the structural differences With type MF, the short screw plug D2 leaves flanged port R2 open contrary to D1 with type M and a plug seals external port R1. Flanged port R2 of the return duct discharges directly into the reservoir without any threaded connections (see Fig. 2 and 3).

SKF Safeflow oil flowmeters
SKF Safeflow oil flowmeters are used for controlling and measuring the flow rate of lubricants in oil lubrication systems. The base is made of durable aluminum. The flow tube is made of glass, so high temperatures and the use of synthetic oils should present no problems. The SKF Safeflow flowmeter has a straight glass flow tube with an internal calibrated cone extending along its vertical axis. The float is cylindrical, its O.D. being the same dimensions as the I.D. of the flow tube, with an annular opening through its center along its vertical axis. In operation, the calibrated cone extends through the annular opening in the float, creating the variable orifice needed for measurement as the float moves with flow changes. Because the oil flows through the float, rather than around it as in ordinary flowmeters, the float is always clearly visible. A white Teflon ring on the float marks the reading point and wipes the inside wall of the glass tube. The flowmeter can be field calibrated so that when the desired oil flow is properly adjusted, the white ring will line up with a predetermined mark. This makes it easy to monitor banks of flowmeters with different required flows because all floats will be at the same level and it will not be necessary to remember the correct flow value for each bearing. Flow change alarm system The oil flow through each SKF Safeflow flowmeter can be remotely and continuously monitored. The alarm system consists of one alarm sensor for each flow tube and one monitoring unit for up to ten alarm sensors. The alarm sensor is an inductive proximity switch, which identifies the location of a metal float in the tube. The monitoring unit contains the terminals and the power supply for ten sensors. The system transmits either a single alarm from each bank of meters or a separate signal from each flow tube. The alarm delay can also be selected to avoid false alarms.

Flow limiters for oil
Flow limiters are used in large oil circulating lubrication systems. The task of a flow limiter is to divide up the volumetric flow of the main line into parallel individual volumetric flow quantities and to limit these according to requirements, or to keep them constant. The volumetric flow generated is independent of the system pressure and virtually independent of viscosity. The signal transmitter version creates a fault signal as soon the flow rate drops < 80%. Rotary gear versions create one pulse per revolution and allow a continuous flow rate measurements. Advantages
Reliable Self-adjusting metering, thus identic volume flows stable system constitution Easy system design The required volume flow and nozzle size are determined during the engineering phase Space-saving installation thanks to a common base plate with only one inlet for up to 6 flow limiters Easy start up, pre-adjusted volume flows enable short start up periods Effective monitoring of volume flow with gear wheel-type flow indicator, with Hall sensor signal transmitter Optional ATEX-versions Preferred technique to feed: Plain and roller bearings Gear nips and spray nozzles Progressive systems Gear boxes High stressed machines with oil circulation requirements

Flow monitors and sensors for oil
Flow monitors and sensors have the task of monitoring the flow of oil from the pump or a piston distributor element to the lube point. Flow monitors with various designs are used for this job. Flow monitors / sensors monitor the flow of oil from a piston distributor to the lube point, the piston distributor metering out a small amount of oil for only a short period of time. Depending on the type, flow monitors / sensors can monitor oil quantities ranging from 10 mm3 all the way to 1 500 mm3 per lubricant pulse. A further task involves monitoring a continuous flow of oil from a pump through a lubrication system. These flow monitors are designed for a throughput ranging from 50 cm3 to 14 000 cm3. The following issues should be considered when selecting an appropriate flow monitor:

The oil-streak sensors monitor the continuity of the oil flow in oil + air lubrication Oil + air centralized lubrication systems are used to supply high-speed rolling bearings in tool spindles with extremely small quantities of lubricant for such applications. To achieve such small quantities of oil per unit of time, what was originally a relatively large drop of oil is broken down by a current of air on its way from the metering point to the bearing. The oil to be delivered is fed in the line to the bearing as a thin flow of lubricant along the wall. Monitoring So far, only the metered quantity of oil from the metering element has been checked upstream of the oil and air mixing point. The oil-streak sensor makes it possible to monitor the transport of a fine current of oil along the secondary lines wall downstream of the oil and air mixing point. The closer the sensor is located to the lube point, the more reliable the system monitoring.

Level switches
For oil, hydraulic and fluid reservoirs Level switches are used to monitor the level of fluids in unpressurized reservoirs. Various versions are available to meet the different requirements necessary for the monitoring of fluid levels.
 Switches with one switching point (WS32-), e.g. ones used to monitor the minimum level of fluid in a reservoir  Switches with two switching points (WS35-), likewise used to monitor the minimum level of fluid, emit an advance warning before a critical level is reached and without having to shut down the machine. Before the second switching point is reached, there is still enough oil in the reservoir for a shift to be completed without having to stop the machine or interrupt work  Switches with two switching points (WS33-), e.g. for a minimum and maximum level of fluid in the reservoir, automatic topping up of the reservoir being terminated, for example, before the maximum level is reached Further level switches, e.g. for other fluids like NLGI grades 000 and 00 grease, are available on request (capacitive proximity switches)

Tips for the use of level switches


Pay attention to the viscosity of oil! Only use oils and other fluids with a maximum effective viscosity of 1 500 mm/s. Fluids with an effective viscosity greater than 1 500 mm/s can lead to indication failures due to the increase in shear forces between the float and contact tube.

WS68

WS32-2

WS35-S30

88

WS32-2 / WS33-2 / WS35-2


When the level of fluid drops, a toric magnet built into the float actuates the reed contact cast into the contact tube. If necessary, the contact tube can be used to trigger a signal that calls for the reservoir to be topped off. The switching point for the minimum lubricant level is always 35 mm above the end of the contact tube. The level switch WS33-... has an upper switching point for the maximum level in addition to the lower one. Control of automatic filling and emptying is possible with this model. The level switch WS35-... has two contacts in the lower area that respond one after the other. The first switching point issues the advance warning. The second switching point can, after the float travels roughly 25 mm, break a connected command link and thus shut down a machine. The advance warning remains in effect.

Oil Check Monitor TMEH 1


Detects changes in oil condition
The OilCheck measures the changes in dielectric constant of an oil. By comparing the measurements obtained from used and unused oils of the same type and brand, the SKF OilCheck is able to determine the degree of change in the condition of the oil. Dielectric change is directly related to the degradation and contamination level of the oil and will allow the user to achieve optimized intervals between oil changes and detect increased mechanical wear and loss of the oils lubricating properties. To facilitate trending, the instrument is equipped with a numerical readout. Important The SKF OilCheck is not an analytical instrument. It is an instrument to detect only changes in the oil condition. The visual and numerical readouts are purely a guide to enable trending of the comparative readings of a good oil to a used oil of the same type and brand. Do not rely solely on numerical readings.
 Shows changes in oil condition affected by such things as: Water content Fuel contamination Metallic content Oxidation  Hand-held and user friendly  Numerical readout to acilitate trending
