I would also like to give a brief introduction to myself. I started at SKF in 1998 and have had several positions, from the factory to communication and offer management. I also spent some years outside SKF working with consulting and IT. I live with my family outside Gothenburg, Sweden, and I like to travel and meet people. I have an MSc from Chalmers University and a BA from Gothenburg School of Economics Business and Law.
I have a strong passion for technology, sustainability and problem-solving; you will find elements of those topics in every newsletter.

Update of the ECP pump family with a prefilled 120 ml cartridge version
|
|
|
|
|
We have extended the ECP pump family with a small 120 ml cartridge version. The cartridge is filled with Tribol™ GR 3020/1000 PD Range, a high-performance fluid grease with TGOA (NLGI 000). Applications include large slow-speed bearings where the Tribol 3020/1000 PD greases provide a sufficient lubricating film due to their high base oil viscosity. Operating temperatures range from -40 to +120°C/-40 to+248°F.

Extention of injection oiler line with a fixed metering
|
|
|
|
|
SKF Lincoln injection oilers are updated with models providing a fixed metering volume of 2 or 3 mm3/stroke. The SKF Lincoln injection oiler is
designed to lubricate precisely with very small, fixed metering volumes. An improved piston design with a smaller diameter provides high accuracy
and very small volumes. The oil flow with very small volumes allows for reducing maintenance times while keeping the machine working.

Product phase-outs Q1/23
The below products have been discontinued in the last months. For detailed information, please contact your local SKF sales contact.
|
|
|
|
Important phase-out information!
As all affected parties are already aware, we are facing supply chain issues that force us to stop the production of the electrically operated gear pump unit KFB. For this reason, we cannot accept orders for the KFB pumps anymore!
A replacement product is shortly before release, and we will keep you informed. For urgent delivery matters, please get in touch with your respective SKF sales manager.

Phase-out of JB-KFGS and JB-103-ML controllers
These JB in-cabin remote controls were developed for KFGS, and Multilube pumps with an integrated control unit. JB control has been a remote dash without intelligence to indicate status and operate the pump remotely. Both products were launched years ago, sales numbers have declined, and better products are available. The alternative solution, dummy pump + in-cabin controller, delivers customer value better.
|
|
|
|
What is the alternative?
ST-102 SLC in-cabin controller can (11500613) be used together with a dummy KFG pump offering complete status and remote operation functions cost-effectively. ST-102 v2 in-cabin controller (11500610) can be used with Multilube and many other single-line and dual-line dummy pumps equally.

Phase-out of multi-circuit pumps ZM212-, ZM40x-, ZM80x-
Due to low sales volume on one hand and high test and maintenance costs in the production process, we have decided to discontinue six models of the ZM multi-circuit gear pump series. This helps us to continue streamlining our portfolio and reduce costs.
|
|
|
|
What part numbers become inactive, and is there an alternative?
ZM212-21*, ZM212-31* - no alternative
ZM402-2-S2*, ZM405-2-S2* - all 5-circuit ZM pumps
ZM802-2-S2*, ZM805-2-S2* - all 10-circuit ZM pumps

Phase-out of HTL101 and HS04 for hammers and breakers
Due to overlapping portfolios and low sales, we have decided to phase out two of our pump series for hydraulically driven hammers and breakers, the HS04 and the HTL101 series. We keep the HTL201 series in the portfolio.
What parts become inactive?
The pump part numbers and their exclusive components will become inactive. The cartridges and the pump elements will remain active because they are not exclusive only to the HS04 and HTL101.
| HS04 |
HTl101 |
186-1375.31
186-2080.31
186-2309.32
752-000-4001

642-40950-1
642-40950-4
642-40950-5
642-40950-6 |
Is there a replacement?
They can be replaced according to the different industries and applications:
|
|
|
|
|
For hydraulic hammer applications, we can use the HTL201 (continuously driven pump): it has the same technical features (especially to cover all hydraulic carrier operating pressures actually in the market), it is more compact, and it has a better positioning.
|
|
|
|
For other hydraulic applications, we can also use from Muurame‘s portfolio the HG1000/2000/6000 and SGH50 as an alternative according to the application specifications.

Highlighted applications
This section showcases "hidden heroes" in our portfolio; hoping you get inspired.
|
|
|
|
Wheel flange lubrication for slow-moving rail-type cranes
Regular lubrication of rails drastically increases the life expectancy of the wheels and reduces the wear on the rail itself. This lowers repair costs and, more importantly, reduces costly downtime.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Crane Rail Lubricator CRL-101 uses two lubrication rollers for the left and right flank of the crane rail to apply lubricant evenly. The lubrication rollers run parallel to the crane wheels. A multi-line lubrication system with a P 205 pump and a downstream progressive metering device type SSV6-K supplies the lubricant to the rollers.
