By lubricating an application correctly, users optimise machine performance and increase the service life of applications, saving both time and money.
Designed for oil bath applications such as bearings, housings, gearboxes and crankcases, the Oil Leveller enables easy visual inspection and automatically compensates for oil leakage and evaporation losses.
SKF Oil Levellers operate through two linked reservoirs.
The lower reservoir has the same oil level as the application with which it is in direct contact.
Through a ventilation tube, the lower reservoir is also in contact with the ambient air.
The upper reservoir is an airtight container which stores replacement oil.
Through its extended neck, which dips into the oil of the lowest reservoir, the two reservoirs are in direct contact with each other.
However, oil only flows from the upper to the lower reservoir once the oil level in the lower reservoir goes below the preset level, allowing air to flow through the extended neck to the upper reservoir. Request a free brochure from SKF UK ...
