2. Lubricants
Due to the large number of pos-
sible additives, it is possible that
individual lubricants that meet the
required specifications according to
the manufacturer’s data sheet are
not suitable for use in centralized
lubrication systems (e.g., incom-
patibility between synthetic lubri-
cants and materials). To avoid this,
always use lubricants that have
been tested by SKF.
2.3 Material compatibility
The lubricants must generally be compatible
with the following materials:
○ Steel, gray cast iron, brass, copper,
aluminum
○ NBR, FKM (FPM), ABS, PA, PU
2.4 Aging of lubricants
In case of extended machine downtime,
check before putting back into operation that
the lubricant is still suitable for use in terms
of chemical and physical signs of aging. We
recommend performing this inspection after
one week of machine downtime.
In case of doubt regarding the suitability of
the lubricant, replace it before putting back
into operation and, if necessary, perform an
initial lubrication manually.
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").
Please contact SKF if you have further ques-
tions regarding lubricants.
An overview of the lubricants we have
tested is available on request.
2.5 Lubricants in potentially
explosive atmospheres
The lubricant’s ignition tempera-
ture has to be at least 50 kelvin
above the maximum surface tem-
perature of the components.
