Greases and lubrication

Lubrication is what separates a bearing that lasts from one that fails early. In this subcategory you will find greases, oils, nipples, grease guns and application accessories: everything needed to lubricate bearings, bushings, guides and chains, both in spot maintenance and in centralized systems. The selection starts with the type of movement and operating temperature, continues with the environment (water, dust, load) and ends with the application method: manually with a grease gun, fixed nipple or automatic lubrication line. With these three pieces of information, the correct family is quickly narrowed down.

The SKF series in the catalog are read by initials. LGEM, LGHP and LGMT are greases for bearings: the second letter indicates the type of soap and application field, and the numerical suffix after the slash is the container size. LGHP 2/5, for example, is a high-performance grease in a 5 kg package. LGNL and LHMT correspond to greases for spindles and high speed, where drag and temperature are critical. LAPN and LAPB are grease nipples and fittings: the suffix defines the thread, metric or gas. LAGF is a manual grease gun, and TLAC, TLMP and LT/TRASV belong to the line of lubrication tools and equipment, including centralized systems with pump and metering.

In the plant, these references are used in maintenance of electric motors, gear units, pumps, fans, conveyors and machine tools. LAPN and LAPB nipples are mounted at the lubrication point to avoid disassembly each time; LAGF grease guns handle manual application on maintenance rounds; and TLAC and TLMP equipment is integrated into centralized systems where there are many points to lubricate frequently. In environments with water or washdown, the water resistance of the grease determines the choice; at high speed, the limiting factor is the number of revolutions and temperature.

MR Accesorios Industriales supplies these 402 SKF references from Buenos Aires, Argentina, with more than 80 years in industrial distribution. To request a quote you need the complete part number of the reference, because the suffix changes container, thread or package. If you don't have it at hand, it is enough to indicate dimensions, type of application and the equipment where it will be mounted, and we will find the cross-reference. You can also ask about the complete lubrication system if you are going to automate several points.
