2.3 Material compatibility
Lubricants must generally be compatible
with the following materials:
○ steel, grey iron, brass, copper, aluminium
○ NBR, FPM, ABS, PA, PU
2.4 Ageing of lubricants
After a prolonged downtime of the machine,
the lubricant may no longer be suitable for
use due to chemical or physical ageing and
must therefore be inspected before the
system is recommissioned. We recommend
inspecting the lubricant already after a
downtime of one week.
If you suspect the lubricant is no longer suit-
able, replace it prior to recommissioning and,
if necessary, perform the initial lubrication
manually.
It is possible for lubricants to be tested in the
company's laboratory for their suitability in
being pumped in centralised lubrication sys-
tems (e.g. no "bleeding").
Please contact SKF if you have further ques-
tions regarding lubricants.
An overview of the lubricants tested by SKF
is also available upon request.
