SKF Lubrication

SKF Lubrication Lubrication Lifetime Solutions Across many industries, businesses face ongoing challenges that affect operational efficiency, productivity, and profitability.

One of the most critical yet often underestimated factors is effective machine lubrication. Proper lubrication of bearings, chains, and other moving components is essential for smooth operation, equipment longevity, and reliability—especially under harsh environmental conditions that place constant stress on machinery. While lubricants typically represent only 1–3% of maintenance budgets, poor lub

rication practices can influence up to 40–60% of total maintenance costs, leading to increased downtime, higher repair expenses, and safety risks. By minimising friction and wear, effective lubrication protects critical assets, extends machine life, improves availability, and ultimately drives higher productivity and cost efficiency.

Europe's offshore wind sector is growing rapidly, bringing exciting opportunities for renewable energy.

But building new wind farms is only part of the story. Keeping turbines operating reliably for years to come is just as important.

As wind energy becomes increasingly exposed to fluctuating energy markets, reliability is becoming a competitive advantage. When maintenance issues occur offshore, operators can face costly crane mobilisation, lost energy production and complex replacement part logistics.

Lubrication plays a critical role in supporting turbine reliability. Over time, inconsistent lubrication can increase wear, shorten component life and raise the risk of unplanned maintenance.

That's why lubrication should be part of a broader reliability strategy. Combined with condition monitoring, engineering expertise and predictive maintenance practices, it helps operators improve asset predictability and support long-term turbine performance.

Behind every lubrication solution is the expertise of engineers and researchers working to help operators reduce risk, extend asset life and maximise uptime.

Because reliable turbines generate reliable energy.

What if one lubrication issue was quietly putting your hydroelectric turbine at risk?

Wicket gates help control water flow and turbine performance, but when lubrication is inconsistent, the result can be sticking components, increased vibration, overheating bearings, and expensive repairs. Often, these problems stay hidden until major maintenance is required.

One hydroelectric facility discovered that preventing a single wicket gate repair could deliver a rapid return on investment, with estimated annual savings of more than $40,000.

Wind turbines operate under constant stress. Their lubrication systems shouldn't.

Pitch and yaw bearings play a vital role in keeping turbines aligned with changing wind conditions. With the Lincoln P203 pump and Lincoln progressive lubrication systems, lubricant is delivered automatically and consistently where it's needed most.
✔ Reliable lubrication of critical bearings
✔ Reduced maintenance interventions
✔ Improved equipment availability
✔ Enhanced bearing protection in harsh environments

SKF helps wind energy operators maximize reliability with integrated lubrication solutions designed for demanding applications.

Reliable renewable energy starts with reliable lubrication.

Every maintenance visit to a wind turbine, hydro plant or other renewable energy asset comes at a cost. Every unplanned stoppage represents lost power generation and reduced efficiency.

That's why effective lubrication is about more than individual products. It's about managing the entire lubrication system throughout the asset lifecycle.

SKF Lubrication helps operators improve reliability by:
• Reducing maintenance interventions through automated lubricant delivery
• Supporting safer and more consistent servicing with professional lubrication tools
• Extending lubricant life and reducing waste through oil regeneration and conditioning technologies

By approaching lubrication as a complete system, operators can improve uptime, reduce maintenance effort and support long-term sustainability objectives.
Reliable energy starts with reliable lubrication.

Every minute spent moving equipment to the workshop is a minute lost from production.

That's why maintenance teams need tools that bring servicing directly to the equipment.

Mityvac fluid evacuation and service tools help maintenance teams perform essential service tasks in the field, reducing complexity and improving efficiency.

Whether supporting routine maintenance or responding to operational demands, the right tools can make maintenance faster, cleaner and more effective.

Together with SKF's broader lubrication portfolio, Mityvac helps customers build a smarter approach to reliability. From basic maintenance practices to advanced lubrication and oil management solutions, SKF supports customers throughout the lubrication lifecycle.

Smarter maintenance starts with having the right tools where they're needed most.

Mining environments place constant pressure on critical assets such as conveyors, crushers and mills. Reliable lubrication is essential for maintaining uptime and equipment performance.

That's why many operations are moving beyond traditional lubrication practices:
🔹 Manual lubrication helps establish consistent lubrication routines and reduce variability.
🔹 Automatic Lubrication Systems deliver the right amount of lubricant while equipment is running, helping reduce wear and increase uptime.
🔹 Oil Circulation Systems help maintain clean oil and stable operating temperatures, supporting reliable performance in demanding processing applications.

The result? Better protected equipment, improved reliability and more predictable production.

A structured lubrication strategy helps mining operations improve maintenance performance, extend asset life and support long-term reliability.

SKF Lubrication supports every step of the journey, from manual lubrication to automation and complete oil care.

Turning oil into a strategic asset starts with rethinking how lubricants are managed.

At Fenasucro 2026, SKF and Durão Rolamentos demonstrated how RecondOil helps customers move towards a more circular and sustainable approach to lubricant management.

By continuously removing water, varnish and particles from industrial lubricants, RecondOil helps:
- Extend oil life
- Reduce lubricant waste
- Support more reliable operations

This collaboration highlights how SKF's lubrication expertise, combined with the strong local knowledge of Durão Rolamentos, helps customers improve reliability, efficiency and sustainability across their operations.

A special thank you to Durão Rolamentos for the excellent teamwork that made this successful Fenasucro edition possible. Together, we're helping customers unlock more value from their lubrication systems while supporting long-term operational sustainability.

An Australian mining operation reduced varnish by approximately 86% in just one trial.

The challenge was maintaining oil condition in a critical mill lubrication system, where contamination and varnish were impacting reliability.

Working together with SKF, the customer trialled RecondOil technology to continuously treat the lubrication oil and monitor performance.

The outcome:
- Varnish reduced by approximately 86%
- Oil cleanliness improved beyond the original condition
- Stable oil condition throughout the trial
- The customer chose to continue using the solution after the trial period

This case highlights how collaboration and proactive oil management can help improve oil condition and support reliability in demanding mining applications.

Cleaner oil and lower varnish levels helped create a stronger foundation for long-term equipment reliability.
