LAGD 1000 - New Automatic Lubrication System From SKF

SKF Maintenance Products, part of the SKF group, has launched a new multiple point automatic lubricator series, the SKF SYSTEM MultiPoint LAGD 1000 series. The SKF SYSTEM MultiPoint LAGD 1000 series is a reliable lubrication system offering lubrication solutions for bearings and machinery. This new lubrication system is suitable for greases from NLGI 000 up to NLGI 2 and operates with a high-pressure pump and a progressive divider that evenly distributes the flow of the pump from 6 to 20 lubrication points, independent of outlet pressure. Extensive research on bearing failures by SKF has concluded that 36 % of premature bearing failures are caused by incorrect lubrication. In order to help reduce lubrication-related bearing failures, SKF has developed a wide range of automatic lubricators for various applications. SKF SYSTEM MultiPoint LAGD 1000 is a fully programmable automatic lubrication system suitable for a wide range of applications such as large electronic motors, conveyor systems, pump & motor combinations and fan drives. Use of the SKF SYSTEM MultiPoint LAGD 1000 contributes to correct lubrication practises and helps increase reliability while saving on costs at the same time. SYSTEM MultiPoint LAGD 1000 series is a ready to install kit, supplied with all required components for installation. LAGD 1000 is available in different combinations of voltage variants and number of lube points. A battery-powered version is also available. The refillable 1 litre (33,8 US fl.oz) grease reservoir can be filled with a wide range of SKF's high quality grease suitable for specific applications. With research facilities in the Netherlands and the United States, SKF - the Knowledge engineering company, offers customers a wide range of design, NHV (Noise, Vibration and Harshness) and failure analysis services. In addition, the company offers customers complete plant asset assessment and management programs to improve plant efficiency and reduce maintenance costs.
