2.Lubricants
Due to the large number of pos-
sible additives, it is possible that
individual lubricants that meet
the required specifications ac-
cording to the manufacturer’s
data sheet are not suitable for
use in centralized lubrication
systems (e.g., incompatibility
between synthetic lubricants and
materials). To avoid this, always
use lubricants that have been
tested by SKF.
2.3 Material compatibility
The lubricants must generally be compatible
with the following materials:
○
Steel, gray cast iron, brass, copper,
aluminum
○
NBR, FKM (FPM), ABS, PA, PU
2.4 Aging of lubricants
In case of extended machine downtime,
check before re-commissioning that the
lubricant is still suitable for use in terms of
chemical and physical signs of aging. We
recommend performing this inspection after
one week of machine downtime.
In case of doubt regarding the suitability of
the lubricant, replace it before re-commis-
sioning and, if necessary, perform an initial
lubrication manually.
It is possible for lubricants to be tested in the
company's laboratory for their suitability for
pumping in centralized lubrication systems
(e.g., "bleeding").
Please contact SKF if you have further ques-
tions regarding lubricants.
An overview of the lubricants we have
tested is available on request.
