Greaser for Linear Guides and Bearings is Compact

The Compact Greaser from SKF Vogel for repacking linear guides and rolling bearings in machines and systems automatically supplies as many as five lubrication points with lubricant. In this way it ensures dependable operation for the entire service life of the guides or bearings, said SKF Vogel.

The Compact Greaser is also suitable for repacking fast-running spindle bearings with its low metering volume and allows for significantly higher speeds than bearings that are greased for their service life.SKF Vogel told manufacturingtalk.com that one repeatedly comes across production machines, handling equipment and assembly systems which have not been equipped with centralized lubrication for cost reasons.

Either single lubrication is used for the required repacking or critical points of machines and systems (i e, the linear guides and bearings) are lubricated by hand.Consequently, the risk of insufficient lubrication is immense.

If dust, chips or cooling fluid enters the guides or bearings, imprecision through wear and tear of these important machine components is foreseeable.The consequence of insufficient lubrication is premature failure of the systems or machines.

Greaser is inexpensive, easy to mount - with the Compact Greaser, SKF Vogel provides an effective and inexpensive alternative for repacking guides and bearings.Due to its small size and weight, the repacking device is easy to mount even in tight places.

Its power consumption is also very low, thus allowing the Compact Greaser to be powered directly by the PLC like an electronic valve. This does not even require a separate power pack or additional circuit breaker.

Single lubrication devices on the other hand are not coupled with machine control and thus continue to lubricate during pauses in operation.This results in higher lubricant costs and also places unnecessary burden on the environment.The grease capacity of the Compact Greaser lasts for up to 5 years depending on the type of grease used and the amount of lubricant required.The grease cartridge is easy to replace thanks to its bayonet locking mechanism.
