SKF LHMT oil is a chain lubricant supplied in containers compatible with automatic lubricators. Its function is to reduce wear between pins, bushings and plates, and to keep the chain clean and stable in continuous service. It is used in drives and conveyors where manual replenishment is impractical and an automatic dosing system is preferable. If your equipment runs on centralized lubrication, this is the type of oil to fill.

The LHMT designation identifies the SKF line of chain oils in a presentation for automatic lubricators. The number that follows, as in the example LHMT 68/5, is read as two pieces of data: the first is the ISO viscosity grade and the second is the presentation or container format. Thus, the code tells you at a glance how fluid the oil is and what container it comes in. To request a quote, provide the full code as shown on the equipment or in the maintenance manual.

These oils are applied to drive and conveyor chains: packaging lines, ovens, dryers, elevators, roller conveyors and drive chains in food, ceramic, textile and surface treatment plants. In Argentina they are widely seen in industries operating at moderate temperatures and requiring frequent replenishment, where an automatic lubricator prevents downtime due to lack of lubrication and reduces lubricant consumption.

To choose the correct grade, take into account the chain speed, load, working temperature and environment (dust, humidity, washdowns). An oil that is too fluid will not stay on the pin; one that is too viscous will not penetrate. Respect the volume and frequency indicated by the lubricator, and check that the dispenser is calibrated. Before filling, clean the fill point to avoid dragging in contaminants. Chain alignment and tension also influence wear.

As for equivalents, chain oils are selected by ISO viscosity and by compatibility with the lubrication system, not by brand. If the equipment specifies an ISO grade, you can compare between manufacturers as long as that grade and the base type are maintained. Do not mix oils with different bases without consulting us. If in doubt, provide the original code and the lubricator data: at MR Accesorios Industriales we will guide you so that the replacement is the correct one.

This SKF oil is one of the brands supplied by MR Accesorios Industriales. If you need to replenish the lubricant in your automatic lubricator, send the LHMT code and the quantity via WhatsApp. With that data we will provide a quote and arrange delivery. We can also advise you if you need to replace the lubricator or adapt the line to another container format.
