Heated centralized grease lubrication
system for use at low temperatures
Special system properties
• Working temperatures from
-50 °C to +60 °C
• Dependable engineering
• Pump unit with agitator, reservoir capacity
of 2 or 6 kg (basic version)
• Optional electrical lubricant-level check
• For grease up to NLGI grade II
Synthetic lubricants are customarily used at
low temperatures.
In some cases involving applications exposed
to low temperatures at their respective loca-
tions, it is no longer possible to deliver lubri-
cants with a special texture. The generator
- or the main bearing lubrication on wind
energy systems (WES) - is a good example.
• Includes integrated progressive feeder for
control of the volumetric flow and forced
apportioning of the lubricant to 1 to 12
lube points (basic version)
• Separate temperature adjustment for
heating of the cabinet and secondary lines
To nevertheless permit delivery of such
special lubricants, SKF Lubrication Systems
Germany AG offers a centralized lubrication
unit with integrated heating. It comes with
a flow control device and further heating
components, all accommodated in a closed
stainless steel cabinet.
The outgoing lube lines are insulated and
electrically heated
Advantages
• Reliable delivery of the lubricant
• Electrical function check
• Simple installation
• Integrated control system
• Gentle heating of the lubricant
• "Plug and Play" solution

Functionality Implementation-example with two lube points

A powerful fan heater (1) in conjunction with

an adjustable thermostat (2) helps to ensure
a constant temperature in the cabinet. So
the main components of the grease lubri-
cation pump (3) and downstream pro- 1 2 3 4 PE PE PE PE PE

-X66
-X61
gressive feeders (4) with piston detector (5)
work in an optimal temperature range and ax

feed a reliable supply of lubricant to the

secondary lines (6). The heated secondary
lines, hoses with integrated electrical heating
(7), regulation and insulation help to ensure
a constant and optimal temperature all the
ma

way to the lube point. Here, too, the tempe-

rature is controlled by another thermostat m

(8). The cabinet temperature and tempe-

rature of the secondary lines can thus be set
separately.

Important product usage information

All products from SKF may be used only for their intended purpose as descri-
bed in this brochure and in any instructions. If operating instructions are sup-
plied with the products, they must be read and followed.
Not all lubricants are suitable for use in centralized lubrication systems. SKF
does offer an inspection service to test customer supplied lubricant to deter-
mine if it can be used in a centralized system. SKF lubrication systems or
their components are not approved for use with gases, liquefied gases, pres-
surized gases in solution and fluids with a vapor pressure exceeding normal
atmospheric pressure (1013 mbars) by more than 0.5 bar at their maximum
permissible temperature.
Hazardous materials of any kind, especially the materials classified as
hazardous by European Community Directive EC 67/548/EEC, Article 2, Par.
2, may only be used to fill SKF centralized lubrication systems and compon-
ents and delivered and/or distributed with the same after consulting with and
receiving written approval from SKF.
