You must observe the machinery
manufacturer's information on
the lubricants to be used in the
machinery.
D A N G E R !
The manufacturer of the bearing
or machinery to be lubricated will specify
the lubricant requirements for each
point to be lubricated. You must make
sure that the required quantity of lubri-
cant is provided to the relevant lubricat-
ing point. If a lubricating point is insuf-
ficiently lubricated, the bearing may
become damaged or jammed.
While the machinery/bearing manufacturer
usually specifies lubricants, it is the owner/
operator (or maintenance person) who must
finally select the appropriate lubricant, with
the help of the lubricant supplier. When se-
lecting a lubricant, the type of bearing/wear
point, the stresses and strains to be expected
during operation, and anticipated ambient
conditions must be taken into account. All fi-
nancial/economic aspects must also be
considered.

If required, SKF can help custom-
ers to select suitable components
for the conveyance of the selected lubri-
cant and to plan and design their cen-
tralized lubrication system.
If you have further questions, you can
contact SKF.
We can test lubricants in our own labora-
tory to establish their suitability for convey-
ance (e.g. 'oil separation' behavior) in cen-
tralized lubrication systems.
You can request an overview of lubricant
tests offered by SKF from our Service Center.
2.3 Approved lubricants
D A N G E R !
Only lubricants that have been
approved by SKF for use with the prod-
uct may be used. Unsuitable lubricants
can cause product malfunctions and
damage to property.
