Automatic lubrication systems

Timely supply of the right lubricant in the right quantity to the right lubrication point

The use of centralized automatic lubrication systems is an effective way to increase equipment availability while reducing personnel requirements. Lubrication systems minimize friction and wear, extending the lifespan of bearings and equipment.

Automatic systems designed for lubricating both individual machines and equipment across an entire enterprise ensure the supply of lubricant in the required quantity to all required points, which provides a number of technological advantages:

Advantages

  • Significant reduction in repair and spare parts costs
  • Improving equipment reliability
  • Save up to 50% on lubricant costs % thanks to timely supply and precise dosing
  • Reducing downtime and production losses
  • Reducing the negative impact on the environment
  • Improving occupational safety

Application areas

  • Machine tools

  • Process automation

  • Trucks/off-road equipment

  • Construction equipment, agricultural equipment and equipment for the forestry industry

  • Mining and cement industries 

  • Food industry

  • Rail transport

  • Metallurgy

  • Pulp and paper industry

  • Wind energy

  • And much more

AUTOMATIC LUBRICATION MAKES WORK MUCH EASIER

Long-term savings thanks to automatic lubrication

Lubrication is a critical factor in ensuring equipment reliability. However, for many operators, manual lubrication can be too cumbersome. By implementing a simpler, more intelligent lubrication method, you can maintain equipment reliability without the expense and effort required for manual lubrication. While the initial cost of installing an automatic lubrication system is higher, the return on investment is quicker than expected. First, labor costs are significantly reduced. You also realize significant savings through reduced downtime and extended component life.

Furthermore, there's no need to stop the equipment for relubrication—it's only necessary to service the lubrication system and maintain the required lubricant level. Automatic systems provide continuous lubrication of the equipment during operation. This increases efficiency, as lubrication does not require stopping the equipment. Lubricating the bearings while they rotate also ensures more uniform distribution of the lubricant. A small amount of grease remains fluid, preventing contamination, even under harsh operating conditions.

Integrating intelligent sensors and monitoring devices into the lubrication system leverages the benefits of big data. By recording the entire lubrication process, operators can receive early warning of equipment malfunctions and take preventative measures.

The widest range of automatic lubrication systems and components

This range includes standard and custom-designed oil and grease supply systems for virtually any application. While many companies face similar challenges, each typically requires a unique solution to achieve optimal equipment reliability, efficiency, and safety. SKF lubrication specialists can help design and implement the optimal solution for your process challenges.

Single-line lubrication systems

For oil, liquid, and solid grease up to and including NLGI grade 3. Suitable for machine tool, textile, and printing industries (oil and liquid grease), as well as for heavy-duty applications in mining, food processing, and construction (plastic grease).

Dual-line lubrication systems

Suitable for oil, liquid, and solid grease up to NLGI grade 2. Suitable for heavy-duty applications, such as those found in the pulp and paper, mining, and metals industries. Suitable for up to 2,000 lubrication points over long distances (up to 120 m).

Multi-line lubrication systems

For oil or grease. Simple and reliable design ensures high dosing accuracy. Complies with ATEX and API standards for the oil and gas industry. From 1 to 30 outlets.

Sequential lubrication systems

titleFor oil, semi-fluid, and thick plastic grease up to and including NLGI grade 2. For use in small- and medium-sized equipment with dispersed lubrication points requiring varying amounts of lubricant. Frequent, measured delivery of lubricant to each lubrication point.«

Circulating oil lubrication systems

They are primarily designed to ensure that circulating oil provides lubrication and cooling for heavily loaded bearings in equipment of various sizes. Additionally, the return line filters the oil, removing wear particles from friction points, and prevents corrosion by removing water and air from the bearings.

Oil-air lubrication systems

For bearings of high-speed spindles, chains and other special equipment in the metallurgical industry.

Minimum quantity lubrication systems

For high-speed cutting processes. Improves cost efficiency and environmental friendliness. The principle is simple: a precise amount of lubricant is sprayed onto the tool's cutting edge. With the MQL system, lubricant consumption is measured in milliliters per hour, not liters per minute.

Chain lubrication systems

Effective lubrication is essential for extending chain life and maintaining conveyor performance. Pneumatic and airless lubrication systems. Oil supply devices. Grease injection systems. Agricultural machinery.
