2.4 Lubricants and the environment
Lubricants can contaminate soil and
bodies of water. Lubricants must be
properly used and disposed of. Observe
the local regulations and laws regarding
the disposal of lubricants.
It is important to note that lubricants are envi-
ronmentally hazardous, flammable substances
that require special precautionary measures
during transport, storage, and processing.
Consult the safety data sheet from the lubricant
manufacturer.
Where necessary, SKF Lubrication
Systems supports customers in the
selection of suitable components for
feeding the selected lubricant and in
the planning and design of a centralized
lubrication system.
Please contact SKF Lubrication Systems if you
have further questions regarding lubricants.
Lubricants can be tested in the company's lab-
oratory for their suitability for pumping in cen-
tralized 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.
2.3 Approved lubricants
Only lubricants approved for the product
may be used. Unsuitable lubricants can
lead to failure of the product and damage
to property.
Different lubricants must not be mixed,
as mixing may result in damage and
necessitate costly and complicated
cleaning of the product/lubrication sys-
tem. It is recommended that an indication
of the lubricant in use be attached to
the lubricant reservoir in order to prevent
accidental mixing of lubricants.
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 permissible limit
values but whose other characteristics render
them unsuitable for use in centralized lubrication
systems. For example, synthetic lubricants
may be incompatible with elastomers.
