Product catalog summary
Overview of MKx Product Series
The MKx product series is designed for SKF MonoFlex single-line systems, featuring pre-installed pressure regulating and relief valves. Optional components include a pressure gauge and an integrated pressure switch for monitoring. Fill level monitoring is also available. Units can be controlled externally or via an integrated control unit, with a manual pushbutton for interim lubrication.

Specifications and Models
  • MKU Series: Suitable for oil with viscosity 20 to 1500 mm²/s. Available with 2, 3, or 6-liter reservoirs, optional pressure and fill level switches, and integrated control units for larger capacities.
  • MKF Series: Designed for fluid grease of NLGI Grades 000, 00. Available with 2, 3, or 6-liter reservoirs, similar optional features as MKU.
  • MKL Series: Also for oil with viscosity 20 to 1500 mm²/s, available with 3 or 6-liter reservoirs, includes pressure and fill level switches, and integrated control units.

System Layout and Operation
The SKF MonoFlex system includes a lubrication unit, single-line distributors, and lubrication lines. Integrated pressure valves ensure system operation, with pressure switches recommended for systems with expected pressure losses over 10 bar. Proper pressure build-up and relief are crucial for system functionality.

Technical Data and Installation
Technical specifications and installation drawings are provided for each model, detailing hydraulic layouts and electrical connections. Various control units and accessories are available to customize the system to specific needs.

Important Usage Information
SKF products must be used as intended, with appropriate lubricants tested for compatibility. Hazardous materials require SKF approval before use. CAD models are available for download for further customization and integration.

Electrical Connection / Control
The document details the electrical connection and control specifications for the Type F control unit IG54-20-S4-I. This unit functions as a pulse generator and includes several adjustable parameters such as interval time, number of prelubrication cycles, and pump dwell time. It also features non-adjustable monitoring time for oil pressure build-up, pump run time limitation, compressed air monitoring, and a non-volatile memory for operation without prelubrication cycles. Fill level monitoring and an additional output for a compressed-air valve are also included.

Preset Parameters
The control unit operates in mode B (time-dependent control) with a preset interval time of 10 minutes, monitoring time of 60 seconds, pump dwell time of 5 seconds, and 10 prelubrication cycles.

Accessories
The document lists various accessories including filling devices with quick-action coupling, main line connections for different tubing types, and topping-up pumps for fluid grease. Specific order numbers are provided for each accessory.

Electrical Plug-in Connections
Details on electrical plug-in connections are provided, including cable sockets with different specifications and order numbers.

Spare Parts
An exploded drawing and a spare parts table are included, listing items such as pressure regulating valves, motors, gear pumps, capacitors, pressure switches, and level switches. Each item is associated with a material number and description.

Important Usage Information
The document emphasizes that only original spare parts from SKF Lubrication Systems Germany GmbH should be used. Unauthorized alterations and the use of non-original parts are not permitted. Repair work should be performed only by authorized personnel.

Company Information
Contact details for SKF Lubrication Systems Germany GmbH are provided, along with additional brochures related to fittings, control units, and lubrication systems.

Disclaimer
The document includes a disclaimer regarding the accuracy of the information and the liability for any loss or damage arising from its use.

Gear pump units Product series MKx For oil and fluid grease For use in SKF MonoFlex single-line systems and centralized oil+air lubrication systems The units in the MKx product series are used in SKF MonoFlex single-line systems and include a pre-installed pressure regulating valve and pressure relief valve. The units in the MKx product series can be supplied with an optional pressure gauge for visual monitoring of pressure changes in the main line. Electrical pressure monitoring can be carried out by an integrated pressure switch. Fill level monitoring is also possible if required. The units are controlled externally via the machine control system or via an integrated control unit. Furthermore, units can be supplied with a pushbutton allowing interim lubrication to be activated manually at any time. All important functions are integrated into the lid. A plastic cap protects the electrical components from environmental influences such as dirt and dust. The modular structure of the units of the MKx product series makes them attractive to machine manufacturers as well as to end users and dealers.
