3. Lubricant
Lubricants are used specifically for certain application purposes. In order to fulfil
their tasks, lubricants must fulfil various requirements to varying extents:
The most important requirements for lubricants are:
•Reduction of abrasion and wear
•Corrosion protection
•Noise minimisation
•Protection against contamination / penetration of foreign objects
•Cooling (primarily with oils)
•Longevity (physical / chemical stability)
•Compatibility with as large a number of materials as possible.
•Economic and ecological aspects
3.1. Selection of lubricants
A suitable lubricant is selected already during design of the machine and forms the
basis for the planning of the centralized lubrication system.
The selection is made by the manufacturer / operator of the machine, preferably
together with the lubricant supplier based on the requirement profile defined
through the specific application purpose. Should you have little or no experience
with the selection of lubricants for centralized lubrication systems, please contact
SKF. You will avoid possible costly downtimes through damage to your machine /
system or damage to the centralized lubrication system.
3.2. Specification
Lubricants of the following consistency can in principle be conveyed using SKF
centralized lubrication systems.
•Lubricating greases up to NLGI 2
•Solids content up to max. 5 %

ATTENTION
Risk of damage to machine / system
Do not mix lubricants. This may have unforeseeable effects on the usability and
therefore on the function of the centralized lubrication system.
Due to the multitude of possible additives, it is possible that individual lubricants,
which - according to the manufacturer's data sheets - fulfil the necessary
specification, are not in fact suitable for use in central lubrication systems (e.g.
incompatibility between synthetic lubricants and materials). In order to avoid this,
always use lubricants which have been tested by SKF.
Please contact the Service Department for an overview of lubricants tested by SKF.
3.3. Ageing of lubricants
After a prolonged downtime, the lubricant must be inspected prior to
recommissioning as to whether it is still suitable for use due to chemical / physical
ageing. We recommend that you undertake this inspection already after a machine
downtime of 1 week. If doubts arise as to the suitability of the lubricant, please
replace it prior to recommissioning and if necessary undertake initial lubrication
manually.

This information applies to greases in NLGI class 2 at +20 °C and 100 bar
counterpressure. Deviating conditions such as different NLGI class, temperature
and counterpressure may lead to a deviation in the flow rate. This should be taken
into account when designing the lubrication points.
