Automatic Lubrication
Effective lubrication is essential for machine reliability, as improper lubrication can lead to increased downtime, higher expenses, and a rise in safety incidents, which is why SKF Lincoln automatic lubrication systems provide accurate and timely delivery of lubricants to lubrication points.
- Lubricate continuously while the machine is working and increase efficiency
- Minimise friction and wear, optimising bearing and machinery service life
- Reduce machine downtime and extend component life
- Lubricate while bearings are rotating and optimise lubricant distribution
- Monitor the lubrication process to alert operators of machine failures, so they can take preventive action
Automatic Lubrication Solutions for your Industry
Machine lubrication plays a crucial role in maintenance budgets, with direct costs comprising only 1-3% of the total, while 40% of maintenance expenses are attributed to poor lubrication, often caused by incorrect practices leading to increased downtime, higher costs, and safety incidents.
Irrespective of your lubrication process, machine type, or industry, we are dedicated to collaborating with you to find the ideal automatic lubrication system that perfectly aligns with your needs. Our tailored solutions can help you achieve your performance goals, whether it involves maximising uptime, reducing maintenance expenses, or optimising energy consumption.
Agriculture & Farming
Farm machines are exposed to similar tough conditions. From dirt, dust and debris, extreme temperatures, rain, corrosive chemicals, and long stretches of inactivity followed by intense work. Achieve machine reliability and low operating costs with one of our automatic grease systems.
Mining
Conveyors and mobile machinery such as shovels, excavators, haul trucks and loaders all face harsh outdoor conditions and heavy loads that are hard on components. Avoid costly downtime with one of our automatic lubrication systems. Drive machine uptime, availability and reliability.
Wind Energy
Wind turbines work at different speeds, in harsh environments, and in remote places, so they need to be oiled carefully. Operators are under pressure to produce as much energy as possible. They need a way to avoid damage to the bearings and unplanned turbine downtime while getting the most out of the people they have.
Construction
Off-road construction equipment may operate at modest speeds, but dependable performance under extreme stress is essential to increase productivity. With our smart lubrication solutions you can ensure that all of your machinery, continues to operate successfully in difficult operating conditions.
Our Range of Automatic Lubrication Systems
Single-Line Lubrication Systems
Single-line lubrication systems feature a central pump station that automatically supplies lubricant through a single supply line to dedicated metering devices for precise delivery to individual lubrication points.
Servicing a single machine or multiple zones on one machine, and are compatible with small-to-medium line lengths and various lubricants, including grease up to NLGI 3, oil, and fluid grease.
Applications
- Excavators
- Loaders
- Haul Trucks
- Continuous Miner
- Bulldozers
- Scrapers
Progressive Lubrication Systems
Progressive lubrication systems feature a pump connected to at least one primary metering device for continuous lubrication. Expandable with a second level metering device for more lubrication points evenly distributing predefined amounts of lubricant.
Suitable for continuous lubrication of small- to medium-sized machines, it dispenses precise, metered lubricant to up to 150 lubrication points, covering distances of around 15m.
Applications
- Haul Trucks
- Excavators
- Loaders
- Bulldozers
- Graders
- Telehandlers
Chain Lubrication Systems
The automatic chain lubrication systems consistently and precisely apply lubricant to the running chain at regular intervals, preventing premature wear, corrosion, excessive noise, chain failure, and protecting workers from moving chains and harsh environments.
Providing solutions for various applications, including small fast-moving conveyor roller chains, large slower-moving conveyor chains, conveyors requiring grease lubrication, and roller chains used on farm machines.
Applications
- Skid Steer Loaders
- Harvestors
- Balers
- Conveyors
- Forklifts
- Crawler Carriers
Dual-Line Lubrication Systems
Dual-line lubrication systems utilise two main lines, alternately supplied with lubricant from a high-pressure pump via a change-over valve. Branch lines with dual-line metering devices deliver large amounts of lubricant to lubrication points, enabling precise dispensing over distances of up to 120m and up to 2,000 lubrication points, making them ideal for large machinery and harsh conditions.
Applications
- Crushers
- Conveyor Systems
- Ball Mills
- Pulp & Paper Machinery
- Wind Turbine Gearboxes
- Steel Mills
Multi-Line Lubrication Systems
Multi-line lubrication systems consist of a pump unit, control and monitoring devices, tubing, and fittings. Each lubrication point has its own dedicated pumping element, ensuring a simple, accurate, and highly reliable design. These systems can be actuated through mechanical, electrical, or hydraulic methods, making them suitable for demanding applications in various industries.
Applications
- Material Handling Systems
- Industrial Crushers
- Hydraulic Presses
- Ball Mills
- Paper Machines
Oil Circulation Lubrication Systems
Oil circulation systems lubricate and cool highly stressed bearings in various machine sizes, flushing contaminants from friction points, with easy serviceability and expandable modular design. Utilised in pulp and paper, printing, marine, tunnelling, mining, and cement industries, including harsh and explosive atmospheres.
Applications
- Turbines
- Compressors
- Gearboxes
- Hydraulic Systems
- Paper Machines
- Marine Engines
Oil and Air Lubrication Systems
Oil and air lubrication systems provide a controlled, non-contact oil flow to bearings with a continuous air flow, ensuring clean, protected bearings, efficient lubrication, and minimal environmental impact for high-speed spindle bearings, chains, and special applications in the steel industry.
Applications
- Milling Machines
- Textile Spinning Machines
- Paper Machines
- Centrifuges
- Injection Moulding Machines
CASE STUDY
Installation of a Progressive Lubrication System on a Sugar Cane Harvester
North Queensland cane farmer and harvesting contractor, John Muscat, no longer needs to worry about machine lubrication thanks to a Lincoln progressive lubrication system from JSG Industrial Systems.
John said, “I know that as my machine operates during the day, all the points requiring lubrication are being greased at the appropriate times. This makes end-of-day servicing much quicker. With the automatic system, I simply need to blow down the machine and refuel it, and it’s ready for the next workday. As a result, I anticipate a longer lifespan for the pins and bearings on the machine.”
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does an automatic grease lubrication system cost?
The cost of an automatic grease lubrication system can vary widely based on several factors:
Type of System: There are centralized lubrication systems and single-point lubricators, with the centralized systems generally being more expensive.
Application: The size and complexity of the machinery being lubricated play a significant role. Systems for heavy machinery like mining equipment or large industrial machines will be more costly than those for smaller machines.
Brand & Quality: High-end brands or systems with advanced features will come at a premium.
Components & Features: Systems that include advanced monitoring capabilities, alarms, or other special features can add to the cost.
Installation Costs: Depending on whether you’re retrofitting an older machine or integrating into a new one, installation costs can vary.
Maintenance & Consumables: While not a direct cost of the system itself, the type and frequency of maintenance required, as well as the cost of consumable items (like grease), can influence the total cost of ownership.
