Lubrication: keep your bearings running smoothly

Whether designing agricultural equipment or using it to farm, high availability of machinery is crucial to meet productivity requirements. Bearings play a crucial part in the reliability and availability of your machinery. Preliminary bearing failure is often caused by poor lubrication. Lubrication of bearings is often thought too easily. Lubricating is often done in between jobs, which makes it a hasty job.  

Good lubrication means the right lubricant, in the right quantity, at the right time, to the right lubrication point. Lubrication will lead to significant savings in repair and spare costs, increased machine reliability, up to 50% savings in lubricant costs due to accurate timing and dosing of lubricants, fewer shutdowns and production losses, reduced environmental impact and last but not least greater workers' safety.

Battery driven grease gun

Watch the video and you will see that the battery operated grease gun is the efficient way to provide your bearings with the right amount of grease. Never too much, never too little, helping to prevent premature bearing failure.

How much grease is required for correct relubrication?

SKF Dialset is designed to accurately set automatic lubricators. After selecting the criteria and the correct grease for your application (download the Grease Selection Table), the software quickly and easily calculates the correct amount of grease required for relubrication. 

Grease Selection table

With the Grease Selection table, you can quickly and easily determine which grease best suits your machine and whether the composition can be mixed with your current lubricant, based on parameters such as speed or load. 

The advantages of automatic or central lubrication systems 

Today's farmers are more informed, tech-savvy and more productive than ever. Watch our video to see how we can help you add value at every stage of the crop cycle.

Proper manual lubrication normally takes about 30 minutes per machine and maintenance cycle. Failure to properly lubricate each lubrication point on every machine can have a negative impact on schedules, maintenance costs, and equipment performance.

Our automatic lubrication solutions for agriculture are designed to drive farm machinery reliability and can keep your machines running throughout the season, without unplanned stops.
