Product catalog summary
Overview
SKF Safeflow oil flowmeters are designed for monitoring and measuring lubricant flow rates in oil circulation systems. They can be banked up to 10 units wide, simplifying installation and reducing piping requirements. Constructed with a durable aluminum base and glass flow tube, they are suitable for high temperatures and compatible with mineral and synthetic oils.

Design and Features
The flowmeters feature a robust aluminum frame, ensuring tight connections and reducing breakage risks. The straight glass flow tube with an internal calibration cone allows for excellent readability, even with dark or high-flow oils. The cylindrical float with a white PTFE ring provides a clear reading point.

Calibration and Adjustment
Flowmeters can be field-calibrated to match oil viscosity and desired flow rates. Calibration involves adjusting the calibration cone position using a provided graph. The improved flow adjusting valve design allows larger particles to pass, reducing blockage risks.

Optional Alarm System
An optional alarm system enables remote and continuous monitoring of oil flow. It includes an inductive proximity switch for each flow tube and a monitoring unit for up to ten sensors. The system can transmit individual or common alarms with selectable delay settings.

Technical Specifications
Flow rates vary by model, with options ranging from 0.1 to 56.0 l/min depending on oil viscosity. The flowmeters support various group sizes and connection types, including R and NPT threads. Electrical alarms are available in common or individual configurations.

Product Information
The power supply for the alarm system is 24V DC or AC, with a maximum power consumption of 150 mA. The maximum operating temperature is 70°C, and the alarm output is a dry contact relay with a maximum load of 50 V AC/DC, 1 A.

Safeflow product brochure-2

A rugged oil flowmeter for demanding SKF Safeflow oil flowmeters are used for controlling and measuring the flow rate of lubricants in oil circulation lubrication systems. The SKF Safeflow oil flowmeters can be banked (up to 10 units wide) to reduce piping and simplify installation. The base is made of durable aluminium and the flow tube is made of glass, therefore high temperatures and the use of mineral and synthetic oils should present no problems. Durable metallic frame The frame of the flowmeters is made of durable aluminium, rather than plastic. This allows for tight connections for all...

Safeflow product brochure-3

The oil flow through each SKF Safeflow flowmeter can be remotely and continuously monitored. The alarm system consists of one alarm sensor for each flow tube and one monitoring unit configured with one (1) to ten (10) alarm sensors. The alarm sensor is an inductive proximity switch, which identifies the location of a metal float in the tube. The monitoring unit contains the terminals and the power supply for ten sensors. The system transmits either a single alarm from each bank of meters or a separate signal from each flow tube. The alarm delay can be selected. Optional flow change alarm system...
