Automatic Lubrication
Provides the appropriate lubrication quantity at the correct intervals.
SKF Lincoln Automatic Lubrication Systems for Industrial Machinery
Manual greasing depends on someone reaching every point, at the right interval, with the right quantity. In practice, points are missed, over-greased or contaminated by dirty grease guns. SKF Lincoln automatic lubrication systems solve this by delivering small, measured quantities of grease or oil to each lubrication point at set intervals while the machine is running.
How a centralised lubrication system works
A centralised lubrication system has a pump with a reservoir, a controller or timer, metering devices or distributors, and feed lines to each bearing or slide. The controller starts the pump at set intervals, and the metering devices split the lubricant into the correct dose for each point. Many systems can include monitoring that warns when the reservoir is low or a line is blocked.
Automatic grease lubrication offers clear benefits:
- Longer bearing and component life, because lubricant is applied little and often.
- Less unplanned downtime and fewer bearing failures.
- Less grease wastage and a cleaner work area.
- Improved safety, since staff do not need to reach points on running or hard-to-access machines.
Applications we cover
The applications shown on this page include construction and mining machinery, cement mills, chassis lubrication for trucks and earth-moving equipment, wind turbines, food and beverage plants, mobile service vans for field lubrication, and ink supply systems for printing. In mining and cement plants, where dust and heavy loads are constant, an automatic system keeps fresh grease flowing that also helps purge contaminants from bearing seals.
We also supply lubrication tools and equipment such as grease guns, pumps, hose reels and dispensing equipment for workshops and stores, so manual and automatic lubrication can be handled from one source.
Correct lubricant selection matters as much as the system itself. Pair your system with suitable Shell greases and genuine SKF bearings for the best results. N B Mercantile, ISO 9001:2015 certified and in business since 1996, is the SKF channel partner for Rajasthan with offices in Udaipur, Jaipur, Jodhpur, Bhiwadi, Bhilwara and Vadodara. System cost depends on the number of points, pump type and controls, so share your machine details for a proposal for SKF Lincoln automatic lubrication systems.

SKF Lincoln Lubrication System FAQs
What is a centralised lubrication system and how does it work?
A centralised lubrication system supplies grease or oil from one pump and reservoir to many lubrication points through distributors and feed lines. A controller runs the pump at set intervals, and metering devices deliver a measured dose to each point, so bearings are lubricated consistently without manual greasing.
Which machines benefit most from automatic grease lubrication?
Machines with many grease points, heavy loads, dusty conditions or points that are hard or unsafe to reach benefit most. Typical examples are crushers, conveyors, cement mills, mining and construction machines, trucks and earth-moving equipment, wind turbines and food processing lines.
How much does an SKF Lincoln automatic lubrication system cost?
Cost depends on the number of lubrication points, the pump and distributor type, grease or oil use, controls and monitoring, and installation requirements. Share the machine type, number of points and operating conditions through the Request a Quote button and we will suggest a suitable configuration with a quotation.
Can an automatic lubrication system be fitted to existing machines?
In most cases yes. Systems are commonly retrofitted to existing machines by connecting feed lines to the existing grease points. The layout, pump capacity and mounting position are decided after studying the machine, its lubrication points and its working conditions.
