6.2 Lubricant selection SKF considers lubricants to be an element of system design. A suitable lubricant is selected already when designing the machine and it forms the basis for centralised lubrication system planning. The selection is made by the manufacturer/end-user of the machine, preferably together with the lubricant supplier based on a defined requirement profile.
It is possible for lubricants to be tested in the company's laboratory for their suitability for being pumped in centralised lubrication systems (e.g. no "bleeding"). Please contact SKF if you have further questions regarding lubricants. An overview of the lubricants tested by SKF is also available upon request.
2 bar (0.2 MPa). SKF-MPB-PUMP is composed of an air motor and a pump unit. The air motor is controlled by a pneumatic valve, which in turn is controlled by a mechanical valve controller. The mechanical valve controller follows the motion of the air motor’s air piston.
Commissioning The pump is activated when air (minimum pressure: 2 bar) is supplied to its pressurised air inlet (4). The pump pressurises the lubricant, transferring it through the lubricant outlet (5) into the lubrication system. The pump also includes a tank connection (6). During depressurisation, lubricant returns through the tank connection into the pump pipe and, from there, back to the lubricant barrel.
Main components MPG pump consists of the following components (Figure 2): Figure 2, Main components Item Description Air motor Pneumatic valve Valve controller Pressurised air inlet, G1/4”, Ø8 quick connector Pressure connection (hydraulic outlet), G1/4”, basic connector, 12L Tank connection (return inlet), G1/4”, basic connector, 12L Pump unit Air exhaust muffler...
– Check the air pressure and the condition of the air lines. – Check that the grease filter and the hydraulic lines connected to the pump outlet are not clogged. – If the problem persists, contact your Oy SKF Ab representative. 11.2 Troubleshooting table...
(P). Check that only grease and no air comes out of the bleed screw or the pressure connection. There are impurities in the pump’s suction inlet. Contact the Oy SKF Ab representative. Technical information 12.1 Specifications table Table 2 Value...
12.2 Pump output curve Unit Description bar (MPa) Lubricant counter pressure g/min Pump output cc/min l/min Pump air consumption Figure 3: MPB pump, output curve (462850) Example: Air supply pressure is 4.5 bar (item 1) and counter pressure (item 2) is 220 bar, which gives a lubricant output of 200 g/min (item 3).
12.3 MPB pump configurations Different lid sets (see table 4) allow the MPB pump to be installed in a stationary (STA lid sets) or descending (ECO lid sets) configuration. Use STA lid sets (Figure 5) for pumping NGLI 00 and 0 greases. Use ECO lid sets (Figure 4) for pumping NLGI 1 and 2 greases.
Lubricants must be disposed of appropriately. Observe any local laws and regulations concerning disposal and recycling. You can also return the product to Oy SKF Ab for disposal. Oy SKF Ab reserves the right to recover any costs arising from the disposal.
