Progressive lubrication systems

Progressive lubrication systems can be used on small- to medium sized machines with dispersed lubrication points that require varying lubrication quantities.

Progressive lubrication systems consist of a pump connected to at least one primary metering device. If needed, second level metering devices can be connected to the outlets of the primary metering device to increase the number of lubricated points.

The pump supplies lubricant to the metering devices. The metering devices split the lubricant into even or predefined amounts of lubricant, depending on metering device.

SKF progressive systems provide continuous lubrication as long as the pump is in operation. Once the pump stops, the pistons of the progressive metering device will stop in their current positions. When the pump starts supplying lubricant again, the pistons will carry on where they left.
