SKF

Monitoring Devices for Use with Lubrication Systems

SKF monitoring devices verify and record the operation of automatic lubrication systems, ensuring that lubricant is delivered as programmed and providing early warning of system faults. The range includes flow sensors, proximity and pressure switches, cycle indicators (visual and electronic), and level switches for reservoirs. These devices can be wired to system controllers, machine PLCs, or plant-wide SCADA/CMMS, enabling real-time alerts if a line is blocked, a reservoir is low, or a system has failed to cycle. Monitoring devices transform the lubrication system from an open-loop timer into a closed-loop, verifiable process, which is essential for critical machinery and for achieving reliability-centred maintenance (RCM) goals. SKF’s sensors are robust, designed for the pressures and environments of lubrication systems, and provide gold-plated contacts for reliable low-voltage signals.
