Lubricating pinion
Automatic lubrication of the open gear via lubricating pinion

Currently, the gear rims on wind energy
stations (for azimuth and pitch) or tower
cranes, construction and special equipment
are greased manually. With the first revolutions, this lubricant is pushed into the base
of the tooth or to the outside via the tooth
flanks. The result is inaccurate distribution
of the lubricant in the contact area, incorrect
dosage, dripping of the lubricant and subsequent environmental contamination. The
system will not be supplied with fresh grease
until the next service check.

Special system advantages

resulting in:

• Precisely adjustable dosing as required
• Pinpoint accuracy of lubricant in the
contact area
• Even lubricant distribution across the
entire width of the tooth
• Durable
• Taylor-made solutions

• Reduced lubricant consumption
• Pinpoint accuracy of lubricant in the
contact area
• Increased system availability
• Reduced operating costs
• Environmentally friendly operation

For automatic lubrication,
SKF Lubrication Systems Germany AG has
developed a lubrication pinion which helps
to ensure dosing as required and pinpoint
accuracy of lubricant in the contact area.
