2. Lubricants
2.1. General information
All products from SKF Lubrication Systems
Germany GmbH may be used only for
their intended purpose and in accordance
with the information in the product's
owner’s manual.
Intended use is the use of the products for the
purpose of providing centralized
lubrication/lubrication of bearings and friction points
using lubricants within the physical usage limits
which can be found in the documentation for the
product, e.g. owner’s manual/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 classified as hazardous by EC Directive
67/548/EEC, Article 2, Para. 2, may only be filled
into centralized lubrication systems and components
and delivered and/or distributed with such systems
and components after consulting with and obtaining
written approval from SKF Lubrication Systems
Germany GmbH .
No products manufactured by SKF Lubrication
Systems Germany GmbH are approved for use in
conjunction with gases, liquefied gases, pressurized
gases in solution, vapors, or such fluids whose vapor
pressure 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
consulting with and obtaining written approval from
SKF Lubrication Systems Germany GmbH .
SKF Lubrication Systems Germany GmbH considers
lubricants to be a component of the system design
and must 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.
2.2. Selection of lubricants
Warning!
The amount of lubricant required at a
lubrication point is specified by the bearing
or machine manufacturer. It must be
ensured that that the required quantity of
lubricant 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.
Observe the instructions from the machine
manufacturer regarding the lubricants that
are to be used.
The 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
bearing/friction point, the expected load during
operation, and the anticipated ambient conditions
must be taken into account. All economic and
ecologial aspects must also be considered.
If required, SKF Lubrication Systems
Germany GmbH can help customers to
select suitable components for the
conveyance of the selected lubricant and to
plan and design their centralized
lubrication system.
Please contact SKF Lubrication Systems Germany
GmbH if you have further questions regarding
lubricants. Lubricants can be tested in the
company's laboratory for their suitability for
pumping in centralized lubrication systems (e.g.,
"bleeding").
You can request an overview of the lubricant tests
offered by SKF Lubrication Systems Germany GmbH
from the company's Service department.
