The SKF Lincoln SL-6 metering device is a single-line automatic lubrication system injector. Its proven design is thoroughly updated to meet new demands on maintainability, leakage-protection and long-lasting performance even with harsh extreme pressure greases. Today’s manufacturing environment demands less maintenance time, higher productivity demands and little to no tolerance for unplanned production stops. The end game with an automatic lubrication system is increased productivity. These systems make sure lubricants constantly flow to bearings, pins and bushings. They lubricate machines while in motion, overcoming loads and allowing grease to protect all wear surfaces. The broad output range makes the SL-6 a suitable replacement for injectors with different outputs and the standard dimensions. Regardless of the application, the principle of single-line lubrication remains the same: a central pump station that automatically delivers lubricants through a single supply line to the lubricant metering device. Each metering device serves only one lubrication point and may be adjusted to deliver the precise amount of grease or oil required. They can be retrofitted to existing applications. Systems can service one machine, different zones on one machine or even several separate machines. Applications include machine tools, automation, printing machines, on/off-road vehicles, construction and forestry machines, cement industry, food and beverage, rail, steel and more. Turnkey Systems and Solutions According to Devin Allen, director of lubrication, KM Specialty Pumps designs, engineers, sales, installs and services SKF Lincoln automated lubrication systems for all types of heavy equipment (ie) “Yellow Iron” including mining equipment such as large draglines and haul trucks, and not to mention railroad track lubrication systems. KM also provides complete turnkey lubrication systems for the pulp and paper, steel, aluminum and the food and beverage industries.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">“The SL-6 eliminates the need to connect 3 SL-1 injectors to obtain output required for large bearings and bushing,” said Allen. “This leads to adjustability improvements, quicker repairs and less downtime.” The benefit of this lubrication system is reduced risk of leakage with improved sealing technology, reducing the risk of bypass. In the unlikely event of failure, the closed design leads bypass lubricant to the bearing. Additionally, there is an interchange ability with SKF Lincoln SL1 and SLV Injectors. “The broad range of output makes the SL-6 a suitable replacement for injectors with different outputs and the standard dimensions and connections make it easy to fit into an existing system,” Allen added. In the future, Allen would like to see a smaller version of the SL-6 that would replace the SL-32 injector.</span></p>
