Manual lubrication typically produces inconsistent lubrication which leads to wasted lubricant and allows contaminants to enter the bearing – producing premature wear. Consistent lubrication (small, precise amounts applied frequently) extends bearing life and prevents unplanned downtime. SKF & Lincoln provide a wide variety of auto lube systems designed to: • Improved bearing life by applying small amounts of lubricant more often • Increase productivity by lubricating while machinery is running – no downtime • Improved safety by eliminating the need to climb on, over & under equipment • Reduced maintenance cost due to fewer breakdowns caused by bearing failures • Reduced labor for manual lubrication • Eliminates contamination due to over lubrication • Reduced energy cost due to improved lubrication and less frictionClick here to learn more.
