2.1 General information

ATTENTION
All products may be used only for their in-
tended purpose and in accordance with
the life cycle instructions.
Intended use is the use of the products for
the purpose of providing centralized lubri-
cation/ lubrication of bearings and friction
points with
lubricants within the physical usage limits
which can be found in the documentation
for the device, e.g., operating instructions
and the product descriptions, e.g. technical
drawings and catalogs. Particular attention is
called to the fact that hazardous materials of
any kind, especially those materials classified
as hazardous by EC Directive 67/548/EEC,
Article 2, Para. 2, may only be filled into SKF
centralized lubrication systems and compo-
nents and delivered and/ or distributed with
such systems and components after consul-
ting with and obtaining written approval from
SKF Lubrication Systems.

No products manufactured by SKF Lubrica-
tion Systems are approved for use in con-
junction with gases, liquefied gases, pres-
surized gases in solution, vapors, or such
fluids whose vapor pressure exceeds normal
atmospheric pressure (1013 mbar) by more
than 0.5 bar at their maximum
permissible temperature.
Other media which are neither lubricant nor
hazardous substance may only be fed after
consultation with and written approval from
SKF Lubrication Systems.
SKF Lubrication Systems considers lubri-
cants to be an element of system design
and must always be factored into the selec-
tion of components and the design of cent-
ralized lubrication systems. The lubricating
properties of the lubricants are critically
important in making these selections.

2.2 Selection of lubricants

ATTENTION
Observe the instructions from the machine
manufacturer regarding the lubricants that
are to be used. The amount of lubricant
required at the lube point is specified by the
bearing or machine manufacturer. It must
be ensured that the required lubricant
volume is provided to the lubrication point.
The lubrication point may otherwise not
receive adequate lubrication, which can
lead to damage and failure of the bearing.
Selection of a lubricant suitable for the
lubrication task is made by the machine/
system manufacturer and/or the operator of
the machine/ system in cooperation with
the lubricant supplier.
When selecting a lubricant, the type of bea-
rings/ friction points, the expected load du-
ring operation, and the anticipated ambient
conditions must be taken into account. All
economic and environmental aspects must
also be considered.
