With our compact greaser we have
succeeded in developing an automatic,
electrically driven centralized lubrication
system especially designed for linear
guide systems.
The ETP compact greaser does not
require a separate control unit. The

electric power and control functions.
Unlike Permadose dispensers, the
compact greaser lubricates only when
the machine is running.

Fan units – grease
SKF has taken the knowledge and

expertise of Vogel Lubrication and
developed three solutions for grease-
lubricated fan and blower bearings.
Fan and blower bearings are often
critical to the operation of industrial
manufacturing facilities. In some cases,
they are in hard-to-access locations.
The SKF grease lubrication units for
fans can help users ensure that these
bearings are being lubricated properly.
These units are designed to deliver
grease from 2 to 20 points consistently
and effectively, providing the right
amount of lubrication for extended
bearing life.

Mini-pump units, group KFA/KFAS

Pumps belonging to the KFA(S)
series come with a maximum of
2 outlet ports for the connection of
2 independent lube circuits. A separate
pump element is required for each
outlet.
Three pump elements with different
delivery rates are available so that the
volume of grease can be adjusted to
the needs of the individual circuits. This
feature ensures that every lube point is
supplied with an adequate amount of
grease in each lubrication cycle.
Control is provided by an integral
IG502-I control and monitoring unit; it
can be operated in a time- or load-
(pulse) dependent mode, and with or
without monitoring.
The control system provides

the following advantages:
• Non-volatile memory with
PIN-code protection Ordering details
• Storage of residual interval and Piston pump Reservoir capacity Grease filling

• Storage of fault signals VGBB KFA1 1 Via conical head nipple

Fan and industrial application units: oil
Fan units – circulating oil
The SKF circulating oil lubrication

unit is ideal for rolling bearings on
industrial fans where high speeds
and/or high temperatures can preclude
the use of grease. These units deliver
a continuous flow of cooled and filtered
oil directly to the bearing. The metered
pump flow is matched to the bearing
and housing size, preventing oil leaks
and excessive heat associated with
oversized pumping systems. The SKF
circulating oil lubrication unit provides
the right amount of cool, clean oil
directly to each bearing. The use of
circulating oil lubrication may also
reduce bearing vibration associated 30 liter tank – basic unit, no controls
with the use of grease lubricant at
higher speeds.
The SKF circulating oil lubrication
units are available in three tank sizes;
30 liter (7.9 gallon), 50 liter (13.2
gallon), and 100 liter (26.4 gallon).
Bearings with shaft sizes from 11/8 in.
to 51/2 in. can be adequately lubricated
with the SKF circulating oil lubrication
system.
Features
• Large reservoirs cool oil quickly
• Large reservoirs de-aerate the oil
properly
• Control options provide flexible
installation and operation
• High pressure filtration up to
1,000 psi
• Easy to read level gauge
• Increased safety with back-up pump
option for critical applications
• Non-tapered, threaded connections
on the pressure side of the system
help avoid leaks

Safeflow ™ oil flowmeters

Safeflow™ oil flowmeters are used for
controlling and measuring the flow
rate of lubricants in paper machine oil
The base is made of durable
aluminum. The flow tube is made of
glass, so high temperatures and the
use of synthetic oils should present no
problems.
The Safeflow flowmeter has a
straight glass flow tube with an internal
calibrated cone extending along its
vertical axis. The float is cylindrical,
its O.D. being the same dimensions
as the I.D. of the flow tube, with an
annular opening through its center
along its vertical axis. In operation,
the calibrated cone extends through
the annular opening in the float,
creating the variable orifice needed for
measurement as the float moves with
flow changes. Because the oil flows Flow change alarm system switch, which identifies the location

Level switches
For oil, hydraulic and
fluid reservoirs
Level switches are used to monitor
the level of fluids in unpressurized res-
ervoirs. Various versions are available
to meet the different requirements
necessary for the monitoring of fluid
levels.
• Switches with one switching point
(VGDA WS32-…), e.g. ones used to
monitor the minimum level of fluid
in a reservoir.
• Switches with two switching points
(VGDA WS35-…), likewise used to VGDA WS68
monitor the minimum level of fluid,
emit an advance warning before a
critical level is reached and without
having to shut down the machine.
Before the second switching point
is reached, there is still enough oil
in the reservoir for a shift to be
completed without having to stop
the machine or interrupt work.
• Switches with two switching points
(VGDA WS33-…), e.g. for a minimum
and maximum level of fluid in the
reservoir, automatic topping up of
the reservoir being terminated, for
example, before the maximum level
is reached. VGDA WS32-2 VGDA WS35-S30

to plan simple and compact centralized
lubrication systems with no need to
maintain multiple lubricant containers.
They work in harsh operating

Stay-dry tank breathers

Description
SKF stay-dry tank breathers use a
three-stage filtration design to ensure
optimum protection by removing water
vapor and solid contaminant before
they enter the fluid system.
They replace the standard breather
cap or vent tube on a tank or reservoir.
They are easy to install using one of
several adapters designed for different
applications.
When the fluid in the system is
lowered, or pressure changes occur,
air is drawn in through openings
under the breather cap. First, air
passes through a fine, 2 micron solid
particle filter. The air then passes
through a diffuser to ensure maximum
effectiveness within the silica gel
chamber. Applications Color indicator

performance and reliability. The
SKF portable filter cart is a solution
designed to meet this need. The unit
can be used to clean new oil to a low

introduced into the system or to clean
oil in a reservoir with a minimum
number of circulation passes.
The SKF portable filter cart is
designed to capture a large quantity
of particulates because of the high
retention capacity of the filter media
and use of multiple, extended-length
