2. Lubricants
2.1 General information
Intended use is the use of the products for
the purpose of providing centralized lubri-
cation/ lubrication of bearings and friction
points with
lubricants within the physical usage limits
which can be found in the documentation
for the device, e.g., operating instructions
and the product descriptions, e.g. technical
drawings and catalogs. Particular attention
is called to the fact that hazardous materials
of any kind, especially those materials clas-
sified as hazardous by EC Directive 67/548/
EEC, Article 2, Para. 2, may only be filled
into Lincoln centralized lubrication systems
and components and delivered and/ or dist-
ributed with such systems and components
Selection of a lubricant suitable for the
lubrication task is made by the machine/
system manufacturer and/or the operator of
the machine/ system in cooperation with the
lubricant supplier.
When selecting a lubricant, the type of bea-
rings/ friction points, the expected load du-
ring operation, and the anticipated ambient
conditions must be taken into account. All
economic and environmental aspects must
also be considered.
ATTENTION
Observe the instructions from the machi-
ne manufacturer regarding the lubricants
that are to be used. The amount of lubri-
cant required at the lube point is specified
by the bearing or machine manufacturer.
It must be ensured that the required lubri-
cant volume is provided to the lubrication
point. The lubrication point may otherwise
not receive adequate lubrication, which
can lead to damage and failure of the
bearing.
2.2 Selection of lubricants
after consulting with and obtaining written
approval from Lincoln.
No products manufactured by Lincoln are
approved for use in conjunction with gases,
liquefied gases, pressurized gases in soluti-
on, vapors, or such fluids whose vapor pres-
sure exceeds normal atmospheric pressure
(1013 mbar) by more than 0.5 bar at their
maximum permissible temperature.
Other media which are neither lubricant nor
hazardous substance may only be fed after
consultation with and written approval from
Lincoln.
SKF considers lubricants to be an element
of system design and must always be
factored into the selection of components
and the design of centralized lubrication
systems. The lubricating properties of the
lubricants are critically important in making
these selections.
ATTENTION
All products may be used only for their in-
tended purpose and in accordance with
the lifecycle instructions.

EN
2. Lubricants
Please contact SKF if you have further ques-
tions regarding lubricants. It is possible for
lubricants to be tested in the company‘s labo-
ratory for their suitability for pumping in cen-
tralized lubrication systems (e.g. „bleeding“).
You can request an overview of the lubricant
tests offered by SKF from the company‘s ser-
vice department.
The product described here can be operated
using lubricants that meet the specifications
in the technical data. Depending on the
product design, these lubricants may be oils,
fluid greases, or greases.
Mineral, synthetic, and/ or and rapidly bio-
degradable oils and base oils can be used.
Consistency agents and additives may be
added depending on the operating condi
tions.
Note that in rare cases there may be lubri-
cants whose properties are within permis-
sible limit values but whose other charac-
teristics render them unsuitable for use in
centralized lubrication systems. For examp-
le, synthetic lubricants may be incompatible
with elastomers.
2.3 Approved lubricants
ATTENTION
Different lubricants must not be mixed.
Doing so can cause damage and require
costly and complicated cleaning of the pro-
duct/ lubrication system. It is recommen-
ded that an indication of the lubricant in
use be attached to the lubricant reservoir
in order to prevent accidental mixing of
lubricants.
ATTENTION
If required Lincoln can help customers to
select suitable components for feeding the
selected lubricant and to plan and design
their centralized lubrication system
ATTENTION
Only lubricants approved for the product
may be used. Unsuitable lubricants can
lead to failure of the product and to
property damage.

EN 2. Lubricants
2.5 Lubricant hazards2.4 Lubricants and the environment
ATTENTION
Lubricants may pollute ground and wa-
ters. Lubricants have to be handled and
disposed of properly. Relevant applicable
regulations and laws regarind the disposal
of lubricants must be observed.
It is important to note that lubricants are
environmentally hazardous, flammable
substances which require special precauti-
onary measures during transport, storage,
and processing. Consult the safety data
sheet from the lubricant manufacturer for
information regarding transport, storage,
processing, and environmental hazards of
the lubricant that will be used.
The safety data sheet for a lubricant can be
requested from the lubricant manufacturer.
Leaking lubricant is extremely hazardous as
it may cause a source of risk that may result
in personnel injury or affect other material
values.
ATTENTION
Observe the safety notes stated on the saf-
ety data sheed.
WARNING
Risk of slipping and injury
Leaking lubricant is hazardous
due to the risk of slipping and
injury. Beware of any lubricant
leaking out during assembly, ope-
ration, maintenance, or repair of
centralized lubrication systems.
Leaks must be sealed off without
delay.

3.1 Overview: OI-AL-SR metering device 3.2 General system description
see Fig. 2
In general a single-line system consists of the
following components: pump unit (1), relief
valve (2), main lubrication line (3), as well as
pre-lubrication metering devices (OI-AL-SR)
(4).
When switching on the pump motor, the
pump supplies lubricant out of its reservoir
to the lubricant outlet. The pump element
connected there meters the lubricant and
continues to supply it via a relief valve to
the main line. Via the main line the lubri-
cant reaches the pre-lubrication metering
devices. There the lubricant is metered and
transported further to the lubrication points.
In case of the OI-AL-SR metering devi-
ces this is done during the pump runtime
(pre-lubrication metering devices).
Upon completion of the pressurization the
pressure relief of the main lubrication feed
line is effected by changing-over the relief
valve. After a successful pressure relief the
pump unit is ready for the next lubrication
cycle.

3.3 Functioning of the OI-AL-SR
Lubricating stage (metering device under
pressure)
see Fig. 3
Initial condition:
The metering chamber (6) is already filled
with oil from the previous lubrication cycle.
When switching on the pump motor, the
pump unit supplies oil from the reservoir
to the lubricant outlet. The pump element
connected there meters the lubricant and
supplies it via the connected relief valve to
the main line and further to the metering
devices. As soon as the oil pressure at the
metering device inlet (P1) exceeds 30 bar,
the supply piston (2) is activated by the pres-
sure built up. The supply piston (2) displaces
the oil in the provisioning chamber (6) via a
downstream check valve (8) to the outlet (P2).
From there the lubricant reaches the lube
point via the lubricant feed line.
As soon as the supply piston (2) has passed
the passage opening towards the metering
chamber (5), the metering chamber (5) is fil-
led with oil under pressure. Thereby the me-
tering piston (3) is pressed upwards against
its own spring force (pressure spring). Now
the indicator pin (7) extracts and allows a
visual control of the meterering device func-
tions. The stroke of the metering piston (3)
is limited by the metering screw (4).
As soon as the supply piston (2) has com-
pleted its stroke and an operating pressure
of 30 bar has been built up in the main line,
pressure in the main line and in the mete-
ring devices is relieved by a relief valve.
Pressure relief stage (metering devices
depressurized)
see Fig. 4
For the metering device to change over the
main line must be relieved from pressure
after each completed lubrication cycle. The-
reby the oil pressure on the metering device
inlet (P1) must fall below 5 bar. The supply
piston (2) is pushed back into its initial
position by its pressure spring. The check
valve (8) prevents the oil in the main line from
flowing back into the provisioning chamber (6).
As soon as the supply piston (2) opens the
passage opening to the metering chamber
(5), the spring-loaded metering piston (3)
displaces the metered amount of oil into the
provisioning chamber (6).
Then the metering device is ready for the
next lubrication cycle.
The indicator pin remains extracted. If du-
ring the next lubrication cycle a control is
desired, it must be pushed back again by
hand. By doing so also during lubrication
pause times failures of the metering devices
remain visible.
