SKF
Lubrication Pumps and Pump Units
SKF lubrication pumps and pump units encompass the complete range of lubricant pressurisation devices for manual, single-point, and automatic lubrication systems. This includes electric-motor-driven piston and gear pumps, pneumatic barrel pumps, hydraulic pumps, and manual lever pumps. They are designed for a range of lubricants (from light oils to NLGI 3 greases) and system architectures (single-line, dual-line, progressive, multi-line). Pump units often package the pump with a reservoir, low-level switch, controller, and pressure relief valve into a ready-to-install module. SKF’s pumps are engineered for long service life, reliable start-up in cold conditions, and consistent output pressure. Selecting the correct pump type and size for the system’s required flow rate, pressure, and duty cycle is fundamental to reliable lubrication system performance. SKF provides application engineering support to match the pump to the system’s hydraulic design.

Matching the Pump to the Lubrication System Architecture
A single‑line system needs a pump with high‑pressure capability to recharge injectors. A progressive system uses a continuous‑run pump. SKF’s pump units are pre‑configured with the correct pressure setting, flow rate, and controller logic for each system type, reducing engineering effort.
Remote Pump Units for Outdoor Conveyors
A weather‑proof, insulated and trace‑heated pump unit ensures that grease remains pumpable at ‑40°C in a Canadian oil‑sands conveyor. The controller is connected to the plant network, allowing remote starting and monitoring from the warm control room.
