Oil Circulation Lubrication Systems

SKF’s oil circulation systems are engineered to lubricate and cool highly stressed bearings across a wide range of machinery. These systems ensure a continuous flow of oil that not only lubricates but also removes wear particles and prevents corrosion by eliminating air and water from bearings. This continuous circulation is essential for maintaining optimal machine performance, efficiency, and reliability.

Benefits

  • Cools stressed bearings and gearboxes

  • Removes particles from bearings and gearboxes

  • Oil reservoir sizes available from 3 to 40,000 litres (0.79 to 10,567 gallons)

  • High operating efficiency

  • Easy expansion and system scalability

Applications

  • Pulp and paper industry

  • Metals processing

  • Mining operations

  • Automobile presses

  • Automation systems

  • Printing industry

  • Food and beverage processing

  • Explosive environments (ATEX / EEX) — upon request

  • API-certified systems — upon request

More About SKF Oil Circulation Lubrication Systems

Oil circulation systems are widely used in pulp and paper manufacturing, printing, marine, and tunnel-boring industries. They are also essential in heavy industrial applications where continuous lubrication and cooling are critical.

SKF also offers a range of oil circulation EEX components and systems designed for harsh or explosive environments, including mining and cement production. These systems provide long-term reliability and meet international safety standards.

Each SKF oil circulation system typically includes:

  • An oil supply unit with a reservoir and pump station (optionally fitted with filters and conditioning units)

  • Control and monitoring devices

  • Flow metering and distribution components

  • Fittings and piping

When designing a lubrication system, it’s vital to consider ambient conditions, operating temperatures, and system layout to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
