Greases and lubrication

Lubrication determines how long a bearing lasts. This subcategory brings together greases, kits, spare parts, and accessories for lubricating bearings, guides, chains, and grease points, both in spot maintenance and in automatic lubrication systems. The selection starts with three data points: the type of movement with its speed, the operating temperature, and the environment, with water, dust, or load. With that, the grease and the application method are defined: manual, fixed point, or automatic line.

The SKF references in this subcategory are identified by a prefix and an item name. In codes such as LT/ICN-220, LT/REP BCN-200, or LT/KITGATILL200, the LT/ prefix groups items of lubrication systems, and words like KIT and REP within the code point to kits and spare parts. The final number distinguishes the size or version, and therefore the item name alone is not enough: the complete reference determines which part it is.

In the plant, these items are used in maintenance of electric motors, gearboxes, pumps, fans, conveyors, and machine tools. In environments with water or heavy washdown, the water resistance of the grease matters; at high speed, the limit is set by revolutions and temperature; and where there are many points to grease frequently, a centralized system saves rounds and avoids missed points. A good plan also respects grease compatibility, because mixing different soaps can degrade the lubricant.

At MR we quote SKF greases and lubrication systems. Send us the complete code, for example LT/INREP BCN-200 or LT/KIT SOP PARED RAM-B, or the equipment, the point to lubricate, and the working conditions, and we will indicate the corresponding reference. Write to us via WhatsApp or email and we will respond promptly.
