Lubrication solutions for the oil and gas industry

Automatic lubrication takes a load off your mind

Vibration, high mechanical loads, contamination and moisture are all threats to bearing and gear service life. Like any mechanical system, moving parts in pumps, compressors, fans and blowers, generators, cranes, thrusters, shakers and valves need proper lubrication to function optimally. Automatic lubrication systems deliver the exact quantity of the appropriate lubricant to the right place at the right time while the equipment is running – without production downtime.

With comprehensive knowledge of tribology and industrial demands, our engineers and technicians have developed lubrication systems for oil and gas applications. System components have been tailored to the industry and help modern extraction and processing operations to run properly.

SKF also can assist you in optimizing lubrication settings and intervals and in developing a customized lubrication program.

Changing your approach to machine reliability

Lubrication is a critical aspect in machine reliability. Yet for many operators, manual lubrication is becoming too much of a challenge. By finding a simpler, smarter way to lubricate your machinery, you could maintain reliability without the costs and effort of manual lubrication.

An automatic lubrication system lubricates continuously while the machine is working. This increases efficiency as there is no need to stop machinery for lubrication. Lubricating while the bearings are rotating also improves the distribution of lubricant. A small amount of grease remains flowing, keeping out contamination even when the machine is operating in a harsh environment.
