Lubricants for lubrication systems Fluid grease NLGI grades Oil and fluid grease The viscosity is an expression of a fluid’s internal friction. Oils are classified in ISO VG viscosity classes from 2 to 3 200. NLGI grade 000, 00 and 0 greases are called fluid greases. Different types of oils are available, including mineral oils, organic oils and synthetic oils. A compatibility check is recommended prior to using any oil with SKF lubrication systems. Grease Greases are consistent lubricants (NLGI grade 1–6). They are soft to hard, triple-component mixtures of a base oil as the lubricating fluid,...

System description System video Single-line automatic lubrication systems Single-line are total loss lubrication systems for oil, fluid grease and grease lubrication. They usually consist of lubricant reservoirs, pumps, single-line metering devices, control and monitoring devices, tubes or hoses, fittings and accessories. Regardless of the application, the principle of single-line lubrication remains the same: a central pump unit automatically delivers lubricant through a single supply line to the lubricant metering device(s). Each metering device outlet serves only one lubrication point and...
