Grease test kit

Lubricant analysis is a vital part of a predictive maintenance strategy. Until recently, however, oils were almost always analysed despite the fact that around 80% of bearings are lubricated with grease. Tribology expertise and years of research have allowed SKF to develop a complete methodology to assess grease condition.

Extremely useful in field decision-making processes

Allows adjustment of grease relubrication intervals according to real conditions

Grease can be evaluated to detect possible unacceptable deviations from batch to batch

Allows verification of the suitability of certain greases in specific applications

Helps in the prevention of damage due to underperforming lubricant greases

Provides more information on root cause analysis

Requires no special training to perform the tests

Requires no harmful chemicals

Small sample sizes required. Only 0,5 g of grease is needed to perform all the tests
