2. Lubricants
Please contact SKF Lubrication Systems if
you have further questions regarding lubri-
cants. It is possible for lubricants to 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
from the company's Service department.
The product described here can be operated
using lubricants that meet the specifications
in the technical data. Depending on the
product design, these lubricants may be oils,
fluid greases, or greases.
Oils and base oils may be mineral, synthetic,
and/or rapidly biodegradable. Consistency
agents and additives may be added depending
on the operating conditions.
Note that in rare cases, there may be
lubricants whose properties are within the
permissible limits values but whose other
characteristics render them unsuitable for
use in centralized lubrication systems. For
example, synthetic lubricants may be in-
compatible with elastomers.
NOTE
Only lubricants approved for the product
may be used. Unsuitable lubricants can
lead to failure of the product and to property
damage.
2.3 Approved lubricants
NOTE
Different lubricants must not be mixed
together. Doing so can cause damage and
require costly and complicated cleaning
of the product/lubrication system. It is
recommended that an indication of the lu-
bricant in use be attached to the lubricant
reservoir in order to prevent accidental
mixing of lubricants.
NOTE
If necessary, SKF Lubrication Systems can
help customers to select suitable compo-
nents for feeding the selected lubricant
and to plan and design their centralized
lubrication system.
