One of the world’s smallest full-featured lubrication systems

The SKF Compact Greaser is an electric cartridge pump designed for reliable lubrication of linear guides, ball screws and rolling bearings. It delivers precise lubricant metering to enhance component performance and extend service life.

Its compact, lightweight design makes installation easy, even in tight spaces or on moving machine parts. The unit is PLC‑controlled, requiring no separate power supply or circuit protection. Designed for NLGI grade 1 and 2 greases, it supports up to five outlets with metering options from 10 to 40 mm³ per stroke. Both the number of outlets and metering rates can be customized when ordering. A bayonet lock ensures quick and simple cartridge replacement. Integration via Profibus, Profinet or ASi enables reliable monitoring and control.

Cleanroom suitability

Tested and certified by the Fraunhofer IPA according to ISO 14644‑1, the SKF Compact Greaser is suitable for use in dry cleanrooms up to Air Cleanliness Class 1—the highest ISO grade—under specified conditions (22 ±1 °C; dew point –40 ±2 °C).

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

Applications

1. Ideal for small machine applications, where a tube can do
2. Dozers and loaders
3. Farm machinery like balers
4. Municipal equipment

Clean refilling of lubrication pumps and lubricant cartridges

The MFP is a manual refilling pump specifically designed for applications with NLGI grade 0 to 2 greases. It is intended for use with 18 kg barrels or buckets with or without follower plate. Follower plate is essential to ensure reliable suction and optimal emptying of the barrel while using hard greases. This pump is fitted with a 2-metre long high-pressure hose that features a quick coupling female connector compatible with SKF filling filter often found in SKF Lincoln automatic lubrication system pumps. Additionally, an adaptor for filling Lube-Shuttle cartridges is available as an option. The MFP dispenses a volume of 25 cm³ per stroke and operates at pressures of up to 60 bar. Two versions of the MFP are available, each tailored for different NLGI grades of lubricants. This market-proven solution, tested under the harsh conditions of Nordic winters, is noted for its high reliability, durability, and ease of use.

Features & benefits

1. Market proven design
2. Fast to install and easy to use
