Portable grease analysis kit for field use
Lubricant analysis is a vital part of a predictive maintenance strategy. Until recently, however, oils were almost always analysed despite the fact that around 80% of bearings are lubricated with grease. Tribology expertise and years of research have allowed SKF to develop a complete methodology to assess grease condition.
- Extremely useful in field decision-making processes
- Allows adjustment of grease relubrication intervals according to real conditions
- Grease can be evaluated to detect possible unacceptable deviations from batch to batch
- Allows verification of the suitability of certain greases in specific applications
- Helps in the prevention of damage due to underperforming lubricant greases
- Provides more information on root cause analysis
- Requires no special training to perform the tests
- Requires no harmful chemicals
- Small sample sizes required. Only 0,5 g of grease is needed to perform all the tests
