Applications of SKF Automatic Lubrication Systems in Industry

More than a technical solution, the automatic lubrication system (ALS) from SKF is a transformative tool across industries ranging from construction and agriculture to large-scale manufacturing. By applying the right technology, businesses can save costs, increase productivity and reduce machine downtime.

1. Construction machinery:
   
   • Construction machines such as excavators, bulldozers and cranes often have many lubrication points and operate in harsh environments. SKF supplies ALS solutions designed for construction machinery that work continuously while the machine is operating, reducing lubrication-related downtime. SKF
   • Automatic lubrication also makes difficult lubrication points on chassis, fork plates and joints easier to service.
     
2. Agricultural machinery:
   
   • Chains in agricultural machinery are susceptible to wear if not lubricated correctly. SKF supplies dedicated applicators that mount at chain lubrication points and connect to a centralized lubrication system. SKF
   • Depending on the machine, the system can use 12 VDC, 24 VDC or mechanical power, providing flexibility for agricultural machinery designs.
     
3. Automotive manufacturing and assembly:
   
   • In automotive assembly lines, centralized lubrication systems (CLS) for conveyors and robots help ensure precise lubrication, prevent grease leakage and reduce maintenance time. SKF is an approved supplier to many vehicle manufacturers. SKF
     
   • Accurate metering saves grease and lowers long-term maintenance costs.
     
4. Heavy industry and manufacturing:
   
   • Rolling bearings, shafts, conveyors and steel rolling mills require continuous lubrication to maintain stable operation.
     
   • SKF CLS solutions can distribute grease or oil to multiple points, with each point receiving the quantity required by its application. SKF Media Hub
     
   • SKF’s “Lubrication lifetime” solution automatically supplies clean grease or oil over time, reducing wear and maintenance costs. SKF
