While lubricants themselves account for only 2 to 3% of your operating costs. The ratio between effort and impact is rarely this skewed.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

SKF estimates that manually lubricating a single lubrication point takes an average of two minutes \u2014 including walking distance, checking the maintenance plan and lubrication cycle, and swapping cartridges. A machine with forty lubrication points therefore costs over an hour per round. At the same time, across all industrial sectors combined, more than <\/span>200,000 tonnes<\/span> of lubricant are wasted every year through manual over-lubrication.<\/span><\/b><\/i><\/p>\nSources: general SKF and SKF Lincoln publications on lubrication solutions for industrial machinery.
<\/i>Your results depend on the number of machines, the number of lubrication points and your current lubrication practice \u2014 we map that out during a fleet scan.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\t\tFour levels of lubrication:
where does your fleet stand today?<\/p>\n
\t<\/b><\/h2><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/p>\n
In a mixed machine fleet, every level of lubrication is usually in operation at the same time. An old press serviced monthly with a grease gun, next to a packaging line from 2022 with a central pump. That doesn’t have to be a problem \u2014 as long as you know which machine is at which level and why. SKF builds the four levels modularly, so you can grow without replacing everything.<\/p>\n
\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
Level 1 \u00b7 Basic<\/span><\/p>\nManual lubrication<\/b><\/h3>\n
The right tool for points you deliberately keep manual<\/em><\/p>\n\n- SKF Lincoln 1882-E <\/b>\u2014 20V Li-ion cordless grease gun with two-speed design: high speed for fast flow, low speed for deliveries up to 690 bar.<\/li>\n
- 1142 \/ 1151 \/ 1035<\/b> \u2014 manual (lever) grease guns for basic equipment.<\/li>\n
- LAGN 120<\/strong> \u2014 grease fitting kit with 120 conical fittings, to standardize your lubrication points across the entire fleet.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Strong in:<\/strong> low investment, no installation complexity. For points with generous intervals and good accessibility, this is a defensible choice.<\/p>\nLimits:<\/strong> SKF explicitly describes this level as the one with the l\u00f3west lubrication reliability and the gr\u00e9atest maintenance effort. Dosing depends on whoever does the round, and it’s usually only possible while the machine is stopped \u2014 exactly the moment the bearing does n\u00f3t need lubrication.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>Level 2 \u00b7 Consolidation<\/span><\/p>\nSemi-automatic lubrication<\/b><\/h3>\n
Bringing multiple lubrication points together into one<\/em><\/p>\n\n- SSV \/ SSVD<\/strong> \u2014 (adjustable) progressive divider blocks. Works without failure-prone rubber seals (excellent under high back-pressure).<\/li>\n
- SSVE \/ SSVDE \/ SSVC<\/strong> \u2014 variants with, among other things, emergency grease fittings or cross-porting for installation in very tight or guarded spaces.<\/li>\n
- VPK<\/strong> \u2014 sectional progressive divider block.<\/li>\n
- Armored, canvas, polyamide, steel tubing<\/b> \u2014 custom-made for your machine layout.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
What it delivers:<\/strong> instead of hunting for fifteen points separately, your technician lubricates one central point. If one outlet or bearing blocks, the whole block stops and the fault is spotted immediately.<\/p>\nIdeal for:<\/strong> older machines with no provision for a pump, points inside a guarded cage (robot), or lubrication points behind a guard or at height. This is the cheapest step with the biggest effect.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>Level 3 \u00b7 Continuous \u00b7 Most chosen for mixed machine fleets<\/span><\/p>\nFully automatic lubrication<\/b><\/h3>\n
A complete reduction of manual lubrication activity<\/em><\/p>\n\n- CLP \/ PLP Touch<\/strong> \u2014 compact grease pumps (with touch display, multilingual fault messages and passwords) for all common systems.<\/li>\n
- P203 \/ AECP \/ EDL1<\/strong> \u2014 heavy-duty grease pumps or, alternatively, compact, smart 420 ml cartridge\/booster pumps (ideal for a fast retrofit).<\/li>\n
- SKF CircOil<\/strong> \u2014 compact oil circulation for gearboxes (lubricates, filters and cools the oil).<\/li>\n
- ZPU \/ EMU \/ VSG \/ EDW<\/strong> \u2014 components for dual-line systems with many points over long distances.<\/li>\n
- CLK, OCL-M, CL-ACP (etc.)<\/strong> \u2014 specific oil-based chain lubrication systems, from one chain up to as many as 100.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Why this matters heavily in a mixed fleet:<\/strong> lubrication happens while the machine is running. The cycle is adjustable per machine, so a press (which pounds heavily) gets something different than a fan running continuously. Your people no longer need to enter guarded or hazardous zones for pure routine lubrication.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>Level 4 \u00b7 Data<\/span><\/p>\nConnected lubrication (SKF eLube \/ IoT)<\/b><\/h3>\n
See what your lubrication system is doing, without stopping the machine<\/em><\/p>\n\n- CLP \/ PLP Smart \/ P253 Smart<\/strong> \u2014 connected grease pumps with three operating modes: time-based, counter-based and progressive cycle-based.<\/li>\n
- Datalog controller & SKF eLube app<\/strong> \u2014 collects log data and communicates wirelessly via Bluetooth.<\/li>\n
- CHL-CC \/ SEL-CC<\/strong> \u2014 connectable control cabinets (PROFINET \/ OPC UA \/ MODBUS) to link chain lubrication (or extremely long systems) to your machine terminal or the SKF Lubrication Cloud.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
What you do with it:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Spot a blocked line or low lubricant level within minutes, instead of weeks later at the next flawed inspection round.<\/li>\n
- Configure pump settings locally and share them by email with another factory hall.<\/li>\n
- Receive early warnings before the bearing actually fails.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Why this is relevant:<\/strong> the core question on the shop floor \u2014 “which lubrication point was or wasn’t serviced last week?” \u2014 becomes a factual digital answer at this level, instead of a dangerous assumption.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>![\"automatische](\"https:\/\/www.euroquip.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/skf-lincoln-smeersystemen-in-de-industrie-en-productie.jpg\" "\\"skf")
