Manual lubrication takes time and, in the hustle and bustle of the workday, is sometimes forgotten or put off. Yet a well-planned and consistent lubrication program is crucial to ensuring that your valuable machinery performs at its best.
With automatic lubrication systems—sometimes simply called “lubrication”—from SKF and Lincoln, you can supply each critical point with the exact amount of lubricant at exactly the right time and while the equipment is running. This helps you prevent unnecessary wear, reduce maintenance costs, and significantly extend the service life of your investment. With the combined strength of these two leading brands, you’re tapping into over 300 years of innovation and experience. Let the technology do the work, and your project will run smoothly—both literally and figuratively!
Manual vs. Automatic Lubrication
- ❌Manual: Time-consuming and requires that you shut down the machine for maintenance.
- ❌Manual: Dangerous climbing to reach hard-to-reach lubrication points.
- ❌Manual: Often too much or too little grease, which leads to faster wear.
- ✅Automatic: Lubricates fully automatically while running. No loss of time or downtime.
- ✅Automatic: 100% safe. You can easily control everything from the cab.
- ✅Automatic: Exactly the right dosage per drop. Drastically extends the service life of bearings.

Hassle-Free Operation
From now on, your machine will lubricate itself, and uptime will increase. We’re also always here to help with periodic maintenance or refills.
Customization & Absolute Reliability
That’s exactly what you can expect from an SKF Lincoln lubrication system through Euroquip. We don’t offer standard packages; instead, we take care of everything for you from start to finish: from initial consultation and delivery to a flawless installation on your machine.
We’re also always here to provide prompt after-sales service and periodic maintenance. By choosing an automatic lubrication system from Euroquip, you’re investing directly in higher productivity, greater workplace safety, and optimal comfort for your operators.
Pure optimization: No more manual lubrication
Don’t waste any more valuable hours manually lubricating your equipment. Not only is this time-consuming, but in practice it’s often downright inefficient. After all, are you really sure that every single lubrication point always receives the correct amount of lubricant and that lubrication intervals are strictly adhered to?
With an automated system from Euroquip, you can eliminate that uncertainty right away. Lubrication is fully automated and precise down to the last drop. It optimizes your workflow, and your machines will thank you for it.
Frequently Asked Questions
SKF RecondOil is a technology and service for regenerating industrial oil. At its core is Double Separation Technology (DST), which removes contamination from the oil down to the nano level so the same oil can be reused repeatedly instead of being replaced.
We show you that in the video below (English):
The Type 2 central automatic grease lubrication system offered by Euroquip is a progressive installation. From a centrally located multi-line pump, the various lubrication groups are each progressively lubricated individually.
Progressive
The lubricant passes through each pump outlet and main line to the main distributor, which dispenses the lubricant precisely metered to a secondary distributor or directly to the friction points. Distributing the lubricant is done in a progressive manner, that is, point by point. The possibility of skipping 1 of the lubrication points is impossible due to the progressive nature.
Each distributor has a well-defined number of outputs that always dispense a correctly measured amount of lubricant per work cycle. An arrangement in the manifold blocks allows us to give each lubrication point its correctly measured flow rate in the overall system.
EP 2 bold
The lubrication system offered by Euroquip is a system specially designed for class “2” grease. All brands of grease can be used if they meet the NLGI “2” grease class. The grease used and recommended by Euroquip is the so-called Eurolube heavy-duty grease of the NLGI “2” class. For the specification and special benefits of this heavy duty grease, please refer to the technical documentation, you can request it and compare it with the grease you are using.
Electronic control of the pump with 2, 4 or 8-liter reservoir is by a built-in timer at 12 or 24 volts DC. Using this timer, the time interval between moments of lubrication can be set and adjusted afterwards. This regulation is done according to the intensity of use and the aggressiveness of the products to be processed.
High pressure switch
To guard the system against possible blockages, the high pressure switch is built in as a safeguard.
Blockage in the piping system
This special pressure relief valve will open in case of any blockage in the piping system or at any of the lubrication points., i.e. visual inspection for the operator is not excluded.
In the progressive Euroquip distributor, the lubricant is first measured in the measuring chamber. During the next cycle, the precisely dosed amount of lubricant will be sent to the output.
Alarm signal
It is important for proper operation that the outlets are supplied with lubricant one by one. An alarm signal is triggered if one of the outlets is blocked.
It should be noted, however, that the lubricant is delivered to the point to be lubricated at full pump pressure (up to 350 bar).
Chromated progressive Euroquip distributor
The solid housing, the hardened steel parts, the close fits of the chromated surface make the progressive Euroquip distributor the most reliable way to distribute grease.
Polyamide piping
Flexible polyamide hoses are used for standard vehicles. These are high-pressure hoses with a burst pressure of 600 bar.
The reason for using these plastic hoses is that they are subjected to high pressure and the vehicle also vibrates.
Advantages over steel pipe
A steel pipe, which is put under high pressure, and on top of that vibrates, proves to be unreliable in practice. In addition, the polyamide pipe has the advantage of being vibration-resistant, does not rust and thus requires no maintenance.
Purpose lubrication computer in a grease pump
The lubrication computer with specially built-in lubrication micro chip aims to allow setting a working and break time according to the type of vehicle and operating conditions.
Location lubrication computer
The lubrication computer is built into the bottom of the pump.
Functions of the lubrication computer
Through this computer, break and work time can be easily adjusted to individual needs. One does not need special computer equipment to set the lubrication computer; this can be done by means of two rotary switches.
However, it may be necessary to give an additional lubrication cycle e.g. after a long standstill or when working in very extreme conditions. A push button is provided in the cabin for this purpose, which allows the pump to run an additional full working time.
Also built into this push button is an indicator light, which lights up when the pump is operating.
