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 using lubricants within the physical
usage limits which can be found in the do-
cumentation for the devices, e.g., operating
instructions and the product descriptions,
e.g., technical drawings and catalogs.
We expressly point to the fact that hazardous
substances and mixtures in accordance with
annex I part 2-5 of the CLP regulation
(EC 1272/2008) may be filled into SKF
centralized lubrication systems and compo-
nents and delivered and/or distributed with
such systems only after consulting with and
obtaining written approval from SKF.
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.
NOTE
Observe the instructions from the machine
manufacturer regarding the lubricants that are
to be used.
The amount of lubricant required at a lubricati-
on point is specified by the bearing or machine
manufacturer.
It must be ensured 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.
2.2 Selection of lubricants
No products manufactured by SKF Lubri-
cation Systems are approved for use in
conjunction with gases, liquefied gases,
pressurized gases in solution, vapors, or
such fluids
whose vapor pressure exceeds normal at-
mospheric 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
SKF Lubrication Systems.
SKF Lubrication Systems considers lubricants
to be an element of system design that
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.
NOTE
All products from SKF Lubrication Systems
may be used only for their intended purpose
and in accordance with the information in
the product's operating instructions.
