The SL-6 can easily be retrofitted to existing single-line pump systems.<br/><br/>SKF Product Manager Jordan Butler explains: “With higher demands on productivity, less time for maintenance and low tolerance for unplanned stops, lubrication performance is an important key to machine performance. Reliable lubrication solutions are a must to get the uptime you have invested in.”<br/><br/>Innovations in the SL-6 are focused on supporting the harsh environments for which it is designed, including in dump trucks, excavators, and other mining and construction equipment.<br/><br/>Quick maintenance features include a highly visible red indicator pin, an adjusting screw requiring only basic tools, and a hex-shaped body which maximizes working space, making it easy to handle and work with.<br/><br/>For optimally effective lubrication, its vent speed is faster than that of any competitor. This is aided by a daisy-chain effect: as soon as each injector finishes venting, it helps the next one to complete its cycle by consuming grease from the main line.<br/><br/>Improved sealing reduces the risk of lubricant bypass. In the unlikely event of a failure, the injector’s closed structure channels bypass lubricant to the bearing. Repair is then possible by simply replacing two components.<br/><br/>Jordan Butler describes the benefits of automatic lubrication: “Lubricating manually takes extra time, requires the machine to be stopped, and tends to swing between wasteful initial over-greasing and, over time, damagingly low lubrication.”<br/><br/>“The SL-6 injector and SKF Lincoln lubrication system help customers to take a giant step toward increased productivity. With less maintenance, less time spent on manual greasing, reduced grease consumption and longer component life, customers will soon see a return on their investment.”</p>
