Introduction

System description

Regardless of the application, the principle of single-line lubrication SKF application engineers, as well as SKF sales partners
remains the same: a central pump station automatically delivers and distributors, are experts in laying out lubrication systems
lubricant through a single supply line to the lubricant metering according to all these specifications. A lubrication system laid out by
device. Each metering device serves only one lubrication point and SKF and partners ensures the supply of the correct amount of lubri-
may be adjusted to deliver the precise amount of grease or oil cant at the best time to lubricate. This reduces wear and avoids pol-
required. Systems can service one machine, different zones on one lution caused by over-lubrication.
