SKF
Manual Lubrication Tools
SKF manual lubrication tools are the essential equipment for relubricating bearings and machinery when automated systems are not in place or for top-up and service tasks. The range includes lever-action and pistol-grip grease guns, high-pressure grease pumps (manual, air-operated, and battery-powered), grease meters, and a variety of fittings, hoses, and couplers. These tools are designed for operator efficiency, accurate grease delivery, and durability in tough industrial environments. SKF grease guns, for example, can generate up to 1000 bar (15,000 psi) pressure to clear hardened grease or purge blocks. Using high-quality SKF lubrication tools ensures that the correct amount of grease is delivered cleanly and safely, preventing over-greasing (which damages seals and causes overheating) and under-greasing (which leads to bearing starvation). They are an indispensable part of any maintenance technician’s toolkit.

Choosing Between Lever, Pistol-Grip, and Battery-Powered Grease Guns
Lever guns are the traditional choice for high-pressure, high-volume greasing, built for robustness. Pistol-grip guns are easier to use in tight spaces. Battery-powered guns deliver precise, repeatable shots with minimal operator effort, ideal for plants with hundreds of lubrication points. SKF’s range covers all three, matching the tool to the maintenance strategy.
Preventing Contamination During Manual Lubrication
Dirty grease nipples and fittings are a primary source of bearing contamination. SKF’s clean grease guns with sealed cartridges and snap-on couplers prevent dirt ingress while connecting to the nipple. Replacement dust caps for grease nipples further protect the lubrication point between services, ensuring only clean grease enters the bearing.
