6.2 Lubricant selection SKF considers lubricants to be an element of system design. A suitable lubricant is selected already when de- signing 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.
7 General description 7.1 Maxilube pumping centre The pumping centre of the SKF MaxiLube central lubrication system is designed for pumping lubricant into a centralised lubrication system. The pumping centre can be controlled and monitored using the control unit in- tegrated in the changeover valve unit, using external control or by sending SMS messages.
7.2 SKF Maxilube changeover valve unit The changeover valve unit includes a solenoid valve group (4) and a control valve group (2), pressure gauges (7) and a fixing plate which contains a bracket for the pump during the changing of the barrel. The Maxilube pumping centre includes a user interface (5) and a circuit board (3).
8 Operation 8.1 Operation of the pumping centre When pressurisation starts, control unit opens both the line to be pressurised and the pump solenoid valves. Pneumatic system starts the pump and opens the line control valve. Pressurisation continues until the pres- sure at the pressure monitoring unit reaches a pre-set acknowledgement level.
8.2.1 Maxilube with ECO lid set Ensure that the surroundings of the pumping centre are clean. Impurities in the system prevent trouble- free operation and cause damage at the lubrication point. Check the condition of the lubricant barrel. Damages on the surface prevent the follower plate from being lowered (3, Figure 5).
8.2.2 Maxilube with STA lid set 1. Ensure that the surroundings of the pumping centre are clean. Impurities in the system prevent trouble- free operation and cause damage at the lubrication point. 2. Check the condition of the lubricant barrel. Damages on the surface prevent the follower plate from being lowered (3, Figure 6).
8.3 Replacing the lubricant barrel WARNING Pressurised lubricant Ensure that the system will not start during barrel replacement. Turn off the air supply by lifting the shut-off valve button (1, Figures 7 & 8) or set air pressure to 0 bar using the pressure regulator (2, Figures 7 & 8) and the pressure gauge (3, Figures 7 &...
8.3.2 Maxilube STA 1. Ensure that the surroundings of the pumping centre are clean. Impurities in the system prevent trouble- free operation and cause damage at the lubrication point. 2. Switch off the power on the pumping centre when replacing the barrel. 3.
8.4 Manual operation SKF Maxilube pumping centre can be operated by a manual procedure in the event of an electrical malfunc- tion or when commissioning before electrification. Pressurise the system by using the manual control screws of the pumping centre's solenoid valve group.
9 IF-105 user interface 9.1 General information IF-105 is the user interface for the internal control unit of SKF Maxilube change over valve unit. Lubrication programming, alarm resetting and lubrication event monitoring can be performed with the user in- terface.
9.3 LED-signals for channels Note LED-signals CH1 and CH2 for lubrication channels are in use only in systems with two chan- nels. LED-signal Description Red LED-signal is lit, when channel 1 is in alarm mode. Green LED-signal is lit, when channel 1 is in normal mode. LED-signal is blinking when channel 1 is selected on the display.
9.5 Buttons Note The buttons affect only the channel which is selected on the display. Button Description In normal mode, the button is used to browse set values on the display. In setting mode, the button is used to change the value on the display. ...
10 IF-105 operation 10.1 Normal mode 10.1.1 Functions Display power saving mode In normal mode, the display shifts to power saving mode when no buttons have been used for ten (10) minutes. In power saving mode only the decimal points are blinking on the display. Lubrication events are per- formed according to the set values.
(line pressure is not low enough when pressurization phase starts) (Alarm, High, Pressure) Alarm from doser operation indicator (SKF Doser monitor). The code is displayed only if SKF Doser monitors are in use. (Alarm, Indicator) Alarm from the air pressure switch of the grease spray system.
10.1.3 Normal mode displays, MonoFlex and and DuoFlex lubrication systems Normal mode displays, which show the set values for the lubrication program, can be browsed with the -but- ton. Display codes change in the following order when -button is pressed. Display code Description The lubrication channel selected on the display.
10.1.4 Normal mode displays, Progressive lubrication system Normal mode displays, which show lubrication program set values, can be browsed with the -button. Display codes change in the following order when -button is pressed. Display code Description The lubrication channel selected on the display. Press the SET-button to go to another channel when the code is displayed.
10.1.5 Pressure and pulse displays for lines Pressure transmitter operation In pressure transmitter operation, line pressure displays can be selected with the -button. Pressing the but- ton will show the pressure display for line 1 first. Code P1 and the pressure display for line 1 are displayed in turns.
10.3.4 Alarm from SKF Doser monitor -doser operation indicator The SKF Doser monitors are in use when factory settings parameter LGI has been set in status YES. An alarm will be triggered when the SKF Doser monitor does not recognize doser operation during a lubrica- tion cycle.
