Product catalog summary

Applications
The SKF Compact Greaser is suitable for various applications including automation, linear robots, linear guides, machine tools, medical devices, textile machines, printing machines, packaging machines, and woodworking machines.

Product Overview
The SKF Compact Greaser is one of the world’s smallest full-featured lubrication systems, designed to operate at pressures up to 25 bar (363 psi) and temperatures between 15 to 40°C (59 to 104°F). It supports NLGI grade 1 and 2 greases and can dispense a maximum of 40 mm³ per outlet/stroke with 2 to 5 lubricant outlet ports. The new design includes a digital interface and increased metering quantity, with ASi control and monitoring capabilities.

Challenges Addressed
The system addresses challenges such as insufficient lubrication, which can lead to excessive wear and premature failure of components like linear guides, ball screws, and rolling bearings. It also tackles issues related to limited space and moving machine parts, offering a compact and lightweight solution that minimizes installation difficulties and safety risks.

Description
The SKF Compact Greaser is an electrically operated cartridge pump that provides precise metering of lubricant quantities. It is easy to install, even in cramped conditions, and can be operated directly by the PLC without additional power requirements. The system is customizable with up to 5 individual outlets and flexible metering rates. A bayonet lock facilitates easy cartridge replacement, and the system includes operational monitoring features.

Application-specific challenges Interfaces for digitalization Automatic machine components are rightly expected to offer interfaces for easy integration into the machine control system SPC or master controls. This is the only way to achieve appropriate monitoring and control of the entire machine or system. If these interfaces are missing, even good and market proven solutions will sooner or later become slow sellers. Limited space and moving machine parts Difficult installation situations cannot always be solved easily. This is particularly unpleasant when it comes to additional machine components...
