2. Lubricants
2.1 General information
All products from SKF Lubrication
Systems may be used only for their in-
tended purpose and in accordance with
the information in the product's assembly
instructions.
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 devices, e.g., assembly instructions/operating
instructions and the product descriptions, e.g.,
technical drawings and catalogs.
Hazardous materials of any kind, especially
the materials classified as hazardous by CLP
Regulation EC 1272/2008, annex 1, parts
2-5, may be filled into SKF centralized lubri-
cation systems and compo-nents and deliv-
ered and/or distributed with the such systems
and components only after consulting with
and obtaining written approval from SKF.
No products manufactured by SKF Lubrication
Systems are approved for use in conjunction
with gases, liquefied gases, pressurized gases
in solution, vapors, or such fluids whose vapor
pressure exceeds normal atmospheric pres-
sure (1013 mbar) by more than 0.5 bar at
their maximum permissible temperature.
Other media which are neither lubricants nor
hazardous substances may only be fed after
consultation with and written approval from
SKF Lubrication Systems Germany AG.
SKF Lubrication Systems Gertmany AG considers
lubricants to be a component of the system
design which must be factored into the selec-
tion of components and the design of central-
ized lubrication systems. The lubricating prop-
erties of the lubricants are critically important
in these considerations.
2.2 Selection of lubricants
Observe the instructions from the
machine manufacturer regarding the
lubricants that are to be used.
Warning!
The amount of lubricant required at a
lubrication 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.
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.
The bearings/friction points that require lubri-
cation, their expected load during operation, and
the expected ambient conditions are taken
into account during selection, with consider-
ation of economic and environmental aspects.
