Lubrication Systems

Automatic lubrication systems from SKF and Lincoln — design, supply, installation, retrofit, and maintenance. Five system topologies covering every industrial lubrication requirement.

The Cost of Manual Lubrication

Manual greasing remains the single largest contributor to bearing failure across Indian heavy industry. Inconsistent intervals, incorrect quantities, contaminated lubricant, and missed lube points together account for the majority of premature rotating-equipment failures.

Automatic centralised lubrication eliminates each of these failure modes — delivering metered lubricant to every point on a guaranteed schedule, in monitored quantities, from a sealed reservoir.

What U3S Delivers

As an authorized distributor of SKF and Lincoln (SKF Group) lubrication products, U3S Engitech offers complete capability — system design from P&ID through component selection, on-site installation, commissioning, and long-term maintenance.

We retrofit existing manual-greasing operations to centralised systems, and we maintain installed systems through scheduled service contracts.

System Topologies

Five System Types

System selection driven by number of lube points, point spread, lubricant type, duty cycle, and reliability requirement. Our applications team specifies the correct topology for each application.

Single-Line Systems

Central pump, single feed line, metered injectors at each lube point. Cost-effective for smaller systems — mobile equipment, conveyors, fans, machine tools.

Dual-Line Systems

Two main feed lines with reversing pressure cycle. Robust for large machines and long line lengths — common in steel mills, paper machines, mining drives.

Progressive Systems

Sequential positive-displacement metering. Each cycle confirmed by visible pin movement. Suited to presses, machine tools, and any application where confirmation is critical.

Multi-Line Direct

Direct pump-to-bearing line for each point. Highest reliability — used where any single-point failure would be unacceptable.

Oil Circulation Systems

Continuous oil feed with return and filtration. Standard for gearboxes, spindles, and high-speed bearings requiring both lubrication and cooling.

Spray Lubrication

Compressed-air-assisted spray — for open gears, chains, and conveyor pin/bushing applications where contact-method lubrication isn't viable.

End-to-End Capability

From Design to Long-Term AMC

System Design

P&ID development, lube-point analysis, pump and component sizing.

Installation

On-site installation, piping, mounting, and commissioning by trained engineers.

Retrofit

Conversion of legacy manual greasing routes to centralised auto-lube systems.

AMC & Maintenance

Scheduled service contracts — refills, line clearance, fault diagnosis, component replacement.
