For use in single-line lubrication systems

The new Compact lubrication pump series for single-line lubrication systems (CLS) is suitable for small and medium-sized oil and fluid grease lubrication systems.

CLS pumps are part of the SKF eLube family, which sets a new standard in lubrication performance. CLS pumps in the control variant Touch have an integrated control board with data logging functionality, which provides a performance and failure log. This allows for checking if the machine is appropriately lubricated and makes it easier for users to plan the next pump refill. The intuitive touch display makes it very easy to set pump parameters.

CLS Touch pumps offer three operation modes (automatic, advanced, and time-controlled) and provide need-based lubrication for any application.

The lightweight, simple, and easy-to-use pump stands out with its compact design and reliable functionality in mobile and industrial applications. Several electrical and monitoring features have been tailored to fit the specific needs of the applications.

All CLS models can be ordered with several easy-to-access filling options. An optional follower plate supports a continuous lubricant flow.

Automatic Electric Cartridge Pump (AECP) for use in small progressive lubrication systems

The new compact cartridge pump combines the best of manual and automatic lubrication. The AECP utilizes standard grease tubes, making refilling an autolube system as easy as refilling a grease gun. It does not require any special refilling tool or equipment. In addition, using cartridges allows for a wide range of lubricants.

The pump fits into tight spaces thanks to its small footprint and flexible mounting options. The AECP is very robust and withstands harsh working environments and working conditions. Paired with SSV progressive metering devices, the AECP is the heart of a simple-to-operate automatic lubrication system. All lubrication points are supplied reliably when the machine is running. The tube capacity is sufficient for at least one machine working day.

The built-in low-level sensor provides an early warning to replace the cartridge. The AECP can be operated with a controller if more advanced monitoring options are required.

SKF lubricants in 400ml cartridges are the perfect pairing for the AECP.

Features & benefits

1. Increases equipment availability and reliability
2. Simplifies machine maintenance
3. Easy to retrofit
4. Compact footprint fits into tight spaces
5. Robust design withstands harsh working environment
