SKF introduces hydraulic driven lubricator

SKF, supplier of bearings, seals, mechatronics and lubrication systems, has introduced the SKF Hydraulic Driven Lubricator which provides a solution for lubricating construction and off-highway equipment attachments. The lubrication unit automatically oils attachments using an integrated pump driven by the hydraulic oil itself. The new technology has been optimized to perform in difficult operating environments and cuts down the need for manual re-lubrication. The hydraulically driven lubricator has a patented pump design which is pressurized on an alternating basis by the machine’s hydraulic circuit via a hydraulic changeover valve. The lubricator can be installed by fitting the unit directly on the attachment. (August 8, 2011)
