2. Lubricants
2.1 General information
Lubricants are used specifically for cer-
tain application purposes. In order to fulfil
their tasks, lubricants must fulfil various
requirements.
The most important requirements for lubri-
cants are:
○ Reduction of abrasion and wear
○ Corrosion protection
○ Noise minimisation
○ protection against contamination or
penetration of foreign objects
○ Cooling (primarily with oils)
○ longevity (physical/ chemical stability)
○ economic and ecological aspects
w
Only lubricants specified for the
product (see chapter Technical
data) may be used. Unsuitable
lubricants may lead to a failure
of the product.
Preferably do not mix lubricants.
This may have unforeseeable
effects on the usability and
therefore on the function of the
centralized lubrication system.
When handling lubricants the
relevant safety data sheets and
hazard designations, if any,
on the packaging have to be
observed.
Due to the multitude of possible
additives, individual lubricants,
which according to the manu-
facturer's data sheets fulfil the
necessary specification, may not,
in fact, be suitable for use in cen-
tralized lubrication systems (e. g.
incompatibility between synthetic
lubricants and materials). In
order to avoid this, always use
lubricants tested by SKF.
