Selection Of Dispense Rate; Experience Based Approach; Grease Gun Equivalence; Skf Dialset 4.0 - SKF SYSTEM 24 LAGD 60 Instructions For Use Manual

Note:
• The lubricator can be temporarily de-activated. Set the lubricator time set dial to 0.
• The unit can be installed in any position. The unit is waterproof (IP 68) and can be
installed under water.
• Oil illed lubricators have non-return valve plugs as standard. Do not remove it.
• Empty S24 units are for oil only and must be used with a non-return valve.

3. Selection of dispense rate

SKF recommends using one of the following methods to select the dispense rate.

3.1 Experience based approach

If the previous selection rate is satisfactory apply the same to the new lubricator.

3.2 Grease gun equivalence

Set the lubricator time to make sure the bearing receives the same amount of lubricant as
previously supplied by a grease gun.
Example:
• Bearing "X" receives 10 strokes from SKF hand operated grease gun (SKF 1077600)
per month.
• One full stroke = 1,5 cm³.
LAGD 60
• The content of the lubricator LAGD 60 is 60 ml = 60 cm³.
• Therefore 60 cm³ divided by 1,5 cm³ = 40 strokes.
• 10 strokes per month equals 40 divided by 10 = 4 months.
Set the lubricator time setting on 4 months.
LAGD 125
• The content of the lubricator LAGD 125 is 125 ml = 125 cm³.
• Therefore 125 cm³ divided by 1,5 cm³ = 83 strokes.
• 10 strokes per month equals 83 divided by 10 = 8,3 months.
Set the lubricator time setting on 8 months.

3.3 SKF DialSet 4.0

DialSet is a re-lubrication calculation program, which easily determines the right time
setting for SKF SYSTEM 24 and SYSTEM MultiPoint automatic lubricators applications.
The DialSet program and documentation MP3501 can be found on www.mapro.skf.com.

3.4 SKF LubeSelect for SKF greases

SKF LubeSelect for SKF greases is a website that can be consulted through an internet
connection, which easily determines the right lubricant and lubricator setting for bearings.
The website is only available on www.skf.com after logging in at @ptitute exchange.
