Improve reliability, simplify maintenance and reduce environmental impact
To meet increasing performance requirements for high-speed precision applications, SKF has developed

a new ultra-precision bearing lubrication unit that available for oil and gas lubrication in high-speed

applications. This system simplifies new spindle designs and can improve the performance of existing

designs.

This efficient solution improves lubricant flow, reduces heat generated by bearing friction, and allows

bearings to operate at speeds up to approximately 250 -3 million ndm. While reducing operating

temperatures and improving oil and gas lubricant flow, it also reduces oil consumption and noise

levels. The solution also reduces oil consumption and noise levels.

Advantages of oil-air lubrication:
The speed at which a bearing reaches its operating temperature limit depends first and foremost

on the heat generated by the bearing and the heat that can be removed from the bearing. In order

to reduce frictional heat especially in the bearing, this can be achieved by ensuring that the required

components are supplied with the exact amount of lubricant at the right time. Many high-speed

applications applications can be lubricated by grease. However, as operating temperatures and the

resulting frictional heat increase, grease is often replaced by oil lubrication systems. The grease is

often replaced by an oil lubrication system.

Very high-speed applications often require a precise lubricant delivery system: an oil-air lubrication

system can continuously deliver a precise amount of lubricant to the bearing to be lubricated. to

the bearings that need to be lubricated, thereby minimizing friction and operating temperatures.

Oil-air lubrication systems offer the following advantages:
Increase of the reachable speed of the bearings
Reduced frictional torque and energy consumption
Reduced environmental impact
Reduced lubricant consumption
Maximized lubrication effectiveness
Moderate pressure in the bearing housing prevents the ingress of contaminants

Lower Operating Temperature
SKF conducted a temperature rise test comparing the Ultra Precision Bearing Lubrication Unit with

other commonly used similar products. High-speed test results show that the Ultra precision bearing

lubrication unit can reduce operating temperatures by 10-15%.
