Control units and software Control units in total loss lubrication systems like single-line, progressive or dual-line lubrication systems: trigger the lubrication routine regulate the duration of the idle time between two lubrication routines evaluate such system parameters as: pressure& quantity lubricant level number of cycles (monitoring) If faults occur, one or more output signals, or
Monitoring devices To monitor the functioning of lubrication equipment Various devices that generate a visual or electrical signal can be used for this purpose. These signals are analyzed by the electronic control and monitoring devices and provide appropriate information to the machine’s control unit or operator. The following values are used to monitor lubrication systems:
Oil and air lubrication units Principle of a SKF Oil+Air lubrication system Main areas of application are mechanical engineering applications with demanding requirements for a defined lubrication. Lubrication helps to achieve a high degree of efficiency with minimal wear and long life, particularly in relation to tool spindles. How it works: A flow of air inside
Lubrication pumps and pumping units Lubrication pumps feed lubricant from the lubricant reservoir into the tubing system of the centralized lubrication system. The manometric pressure has to be high enough to compensate for pressure drops in the tubing, components (filters, valves, distributors) and friction points. Differentiation criteria: type of lubrication system principle of operation type
Lubrication system components SKF and Lincoln automatic centralized lubrication systems perform the task of supplying individual lube points or group of points with varying amounts of exactly metered lubricant from one central location. Care taken during the installation, start-up and maintenance of the central lubrication system, will help to enhance the operating readiness and life

Oil and Air lubrication systems SKF Oil+Air SKF Oil+Air lubrication systems System description: In oil+air lubrication, a quantity of oil metered volumetrically by a pump or distributor is pulled apart by a continuous air flow in a tube and carried along the tube wall in the direction of compressed-air flow. The quantity of oil is
Oil circulation lubrication systems SKF CircOil SKF Circulating oil lubrication system SKF CircOil systems are designed primarily for oil circulation lubrication to lubricate as well as cool highly stressed bearings in nearly every size of machine. Additionally, the returning oil removes and filters out wear particles from friction points and prevents corrosion damage by removing
Multi-line lubrication systems for oil, semi-fluid grease and hard grease SKF multi-line lubrication systems consist of the following components: a pump unit, control and monitoring devices, tubing and fittings. Multi-line pump units supply lubricant to lubrication points without extra metering dividers. Thus, each lubrication point has its own pumping element. The system design is simple,
