Manual greasing is inconsistent, labour-intensive, and risky in hard-to-reach spots. SKF’s automatic single-point lubricators – supplied by Motion – deliver precise, continuous lubrication to extend equipment life and cut maintenance time.
Unexpected plant stoppages can be caused by inconsistent lubrication. Manual greasing can be irregular, difficult to schedule, and a hazardous operation for staff at elevated heights, confined spaces or close to rotating assemblies. SKF’s single-point automatic lubricators take the guesswork – and the ladder climbs – out of the job, by dispensing the right amount of grease at set intervals, directly to the lubrication point.
Compact and easy to fit, units can be configured to deliver consistently from 1 to 12 months, matching rate to operating conditions. That precision prevents under-greasing (heat and wear) and over-greasing (waste, mess, and elevated temperatures), while reducing hands-on labour during production.
For food and beverage facilities, food-grade lubricant options support hygiene and audit compliance. Typical applications span bearing housings on motors and pumps, fans, conveyors, cranes, and chains – anywhere regular greasing is essential but access is difficult or safety exposure is high.
The benefits go beyond reliability. Automation frees maintenance teams from repetitive routes, cuts the risk profile around live equipment, and helps standardise best practice across shifts and sites. With flexible settings and a small footprint, SKF single-point lubricators also suit retrofit programs where space and access are tight.
SKF TLDD – Connected single-point lubricators
A solution for wireless monitoring of automatic single-point lubricators.
The connected single-point lubricator utilises a web dashboard and interface to monitor the status of each lubricator and provides the ability to remotely change its settings.
Motion’s lubrication specialists can help you select the correct unit, lubricant type, and settings for each asset, then support rollout to harmonise maintenance plans across your plant. The payoff is fewer breakdowns, longer component life, and time back for higher-value tasks – all from a quick, low-effort upgrade.
