Lubricant Analysis Kit

Portable kit for field lubricant analysis

Lubricant analysis is a crucial part of a predictive maintenance strategy. However, until now, this has been almost exclusively limited to liquid oils, despite the fact that approximately 80% of % bearings are lubricated with greases. Experience in tribology and years of research have enabled SKF to develop a comprehensive methodology for assessing grease condition.

  • Indispensable for analysis under operating conditions
  • The relubrication interval can be adjusted according to actual conditions.
  • Ability to evaluate lubricants to identify potential unacceptable variations from batch to batch
  • The ability to evaluate the properties of lubricants, which allows you to check the suitability of a given lubricant under certain conditions
  • Helps prevent damage caused by improper lubrication
  • Information obtained about the lubricant can be used to analyze the causes of bearing damage.
  • No special training required
  • No harmful chemicals are used
  • A small amount of lubricant is sufficient for analysis. Only 0.5 grams of lubricant is required for all tests.
