Variolub SMD flow meter

For circulating oil lubrication systems

SKF Variolub SMD flow meters are designed to measure and monitor flow in circulating oil lubrication systems. They are available in three different models, with flow rates ranging from 0.1 to 40 l/min. The flow meters are adjusted using a built-in regulating valve.

Flow meters provide visual and electronic monitoring, and a bypass system allows for adjustment and maintenance without interrupting system operation. Thanks to their modular design, SMD flow meters are easy to replace, modify, and expand. Suitable for equipment with several hundred lubrication points, these flow meters provide reliability and versatility.

Features and Benefits

  • High precision and reliable design
  • Easy maintenance and reduced downtime thanks to the bypass system
  • Modular design allows for flow rate adjustments and system expansion
  • A variety of interfaces are available for various industries.

Application areas

  • Pulp and paper industry
  • Machine tools
  • Metallurgy
  • Heavy industry
