Usage and Principle of Operation

Advantages

Fields of application

SKF Oil+Air lubrication units are employed
for a wide range of applications in the field
of centralized lubrication technology. The
main field of application is mechanical
engineering due to the high demands made
on a defined lubrication system that provides high availability with low wear and a
long service life. SKF Oil+Air lubrication units
are employed for bearing lubrication, especially the lubrication of spindle bearings. Additional fields of application include the lubrication of chains, gear trains, and process
oiling. SKF Oil+Air lubrication units can be
individually configured for each application.

• Better machining performance in spindle
bearing lubrication due to higher speed
factors (on spindle bearings, up to
approx. 2,5 × 106 mm × rpm)
• Higher dependability due to continuous
supply of defined quantities of lubricant;
sealing air provided by the system protects the bearings against outside
contamination
• Less lubricant – as much as needed, as
little as possible – for greater safety and
environmental protection; demand-based
metering for each lubrication point, with
approximately 90% lower lubricant consumption compared to oil lubrication; no
oil mist, no repack period compared to
grease lubrication

• Bearing lubrication,
especially of spindle bearings
• Chain lubrication
• Gear train lubrication
• Slideway lubrication
• Assembly and process oiling
