Use heavier grease: This provides the potential to eliminate grease change-out due to temperature variations where lubricants are switched to lower viscosity in cold winter climates

Run longer supply lines: This gives you greater flexibility when installing systems and makes Centro-Matic a more effective option for many applications.

SKF automatic grease lubricationsystem

Sun Machinery’s installed Lubrication System consists of a 12/24 VDC Series 203 pump, UV positive displacement grease metering valves, fittings, tubing, hose and custom guarding. Pumps include an integrated adjustable timer for easy installation, trouble-free operation and maximum flexibility. Reservoirs range from 5 - 15 lbs. Our systems service steering cylinders, center articulation, oscillating axles, lift cylinders, boom anchors, bucket joints, transmission hanger bearings, suspension cylinder, dump box pivots, drill mast bearings, hammer surfaces, “H” links on excavators, and more. The Sun Machinery lubrication system is suitable for most off-the-shelf North American greases currently in your shop. It will handle lubricants up to an NLGI #2 rating to -25°C or -13°F

Auto lubesystems for heavy equipment

Lincoln is reinventing Centro-Matic, our industry-standard automatic lubrication system - reducing total system cost, significantly improving performance and providing increased benefits for customers.  The changes are built around the new SL-V Injector. Since the system was first introduced in 1937, there have been many improvements to the injectors and other elements of the system, but the SL-V represents the most significant advance in the history of the line.

The system dispenses small measured amounts of lubricant at frequent intervals while your equipment is operating, maintaining a consistent lubricant seal to prevent dirt and contaminants from migrating into bearings.

Direct costs resulting from inadequate lubrication can include: replacement bearings, labor to repair or replace bearings, lost time and its impact on productivity. Indirect, but very real costs include: wasted lube, environmental issues, safety or housekeeping issues, and higher labor costs related to inefficient manual lubrication practices.

Bearing failure resulting from improper lubrication is a major cause of equipment downtime and significant unnecessary maintenance costs in today’s environment. The majority of failures are caused by: contamination of bushings by dust, dirt and moisture, inadequate amounts of lubricant applied to bearings, or over-lubrication of key pivot points.
