2. Lubricants
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 must be inspected prior to
re-commissioning as to whether it is still
suitable for use due to chemical or 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 lu-
bricant, please replace it prior to re-commis-
sioning and, if necessary, undertake initial
lubrication manually.
It is possible for lubricants to be tested in the
company's laboratory for their suitability for
being pumped in centralized lubrication sys-
tems (e.g. "bleeding").
Please contact SKF if you have further ques-
tions regarding lubricants.
You may request an overview of the lubri-
cants tested by SKF.
