Lincoln Grease Dividers – Accurate Automatic Lubrication for Industry

Grease divider Lincoln – In modern automatic lubrication systems, distributing grease accurately, evenly to each friction point is essential to equipment life and operating performance. Lincoln grease dividers, from a brand within the SKF Group, are designed to meet this requirement.

1. Introduction to Lincoln grease dividers

Lincoln has pioneered automatic lubrication systems and is now part of the SKF Group. Lincoln grease dividers, also called metering devices, divider blocks or flow dividers, split the incoming grease into multiple lines according to a defined volume or ratio, ensuring that every lubrication point receives the appropriate amount of grease.

2. Key technical characteristics

• Progressive grease dividers such as the SSV range from Lincoln/SKF: “SSV are single-block progressive metering devices that reliably divide the incoming lubricant in predetermined individual quantities.”
  
• Operating range: models can have 6-22 outlets.
  
• High working pressure: for example, SSV units can operate at up to approximately 350 bar.
  
• Several material options: zinc-plated steel and stainless steel for demanding environments.
  
• Compatible with grease up to NLGI 2 and oil with a viscosity of at least 40 mm²/s.
  

3. Key advantages

• High accuracy: each outlet receives a predetermined quantity of grease, helping prevent under- or over-lubrication.
  
• Easy monitoring and maintenance: many models have indicator pins or sensors for monitoring piston movement.
  
• High reliability under demanding conditions, including low temperatures, high pressure and outdoor environments.
  
• Saves maintenance time and costs through automation and even distribution.
  

4. Practical applications of Lincoln grease dividers

Lincoln grease dividers are well suited to centralized lubrication systems in:

• Mining, cement and steel industries, where many lubrication points are spread across large areas.
  
• Industrial machinery such as conveyors, presses and rolling mills.
  
• Plants requiring scheduled maintenance and long equipment life.
  

5. Selection and installation considerations

• Clearly determine the number of lubrication points, distance, operating pressure, and type of grease or oil to select the correct model.
• Inspect periodically: check indicators or monitoring equipment to identify blockages or distribution faults early.
• When the system includes secondary metering devices, follow the correct connection diagram and pressure requirements to prevent incorrect distribution.

6. Conclusion

If you are looking for a grease-divider solution that is accurate, reliable, and easy to expand for an automatic lubrication system, SKF’s Lincoln grease dividers are worth considering. Selecting the correct model, installing it properly and maintaining it correctly will help extend machinery life, reduce downtime and lower maintenance costs.
