Grease test rigs

While SKF has a rich history in the research and development of bearing technology, it also has deep roots in the field of lubrication technology. Through the development of a number of grease test rigs, we continue to deepen our understanding of lubrication theory and pass that knowledge on to our customers.

SKF offers the following grease test rigs:

SKF Grease Test Rig BeQuiet+ assesses the grease noise in rolling bearings.

SKF Grease Test Rig RST-T200-P4 is used for testing the shear stability of lubricating greases.

SKF Grease Test Rig R0F+ assesses the grease performance at high temperatures and speeds.

SKF Lubrication Test Unit MEL-7000 measures electrical capacitance between the inner and outer ring of a bearing. This gives an indication of the lubrication condition of the bearing.

SKF Grease Test Rig RHF 1 assesses the grease performance at high temperatures and highest speeds.

The SKF Grease Test Rig EMCOR assesses the corrosion inhibiting properties of greases.

SKF Grease Test Rig EMCOR is standardized in DIN 51802, ISO 11007 and IP 220 for the standard method using distilled water.

The SKF Grease Test Rig V2F assesses the mechanical stability of greases necessary to provide resistance to leakage under vibration conditions. The SKF V2F is standardized in SS 3653: Railways – Rolling bearings for axle boxes – Test of the mechanical stability of lubricating greases.
