During machinery operation, maintaining a stable lubricating-oil level is essential for the durability and performance of bearings, gearboxes and other critical mechanical components. To help businesses control oil levels proactively without frequent manual intervention, SKF introduces the Oil Levellers LAHD 500 and LAHD 1000 – automatic devices that maintain a stable and accurate oil level.
1. Overview of SKF Oil Levellers LAHD 500 & LAHD 1000
SKF LAHD 500
-
Reservoir capacity: 500 ml
-
Designed for applications with medium oil consumption
-
Compact size, easy to install in confined spaces
SKF LAHD 1000
-
Reservoir capacity: 1,000 ml

-
Saves time spent checking and manually replenishing oil
2. How LAHD 500 & LAHD 1000 work
SKF Oil Levellers operate on the principle of automatic oil compensation:
When the oil level in a bearing housing or reservoir falls below the specified level, oil automatically flows from the reservoir until the level is restored. The device uses pressure-balancing technology to prevent oil from flowing when it is not needed, ensuring accurate and stable lubrication.
3. Key advantages
🛠️ Automated oil-level control
Daily manual oil-level checks are no longer needed – saving time and reducing errors.
🔍 Greater safety and reliability
Maintaining a stable oil level reduces the risk of damage caused by insufficient or excessive lubrication.
⏱️ Reduced downtime
The lubrication system operates continuously, reducing the likelihood of operational interruptions.
💧 Better protection of oil quality
The sealed oil reservoir prevents contaminants, moisture and dust from entering.
🌍 Environmentally friendly and cost-effective
Optimizes oil consumption, avoids waste and reduces unnecessary emissions.
4. Typical applications
-
Industrial bearing housings using lubricating oil
