New heights for automatic lubrication

The stock head is at the end of an extendable boom and all grease points in this part of the machine have previously been manually lubricated due to the extension and retraction movement of the boom itself. Lubrication points that are to be manually lubricated at the end of a shift are often forgotten.

As reported by many leading bearing manufacturers, many pin/bush and bearing failures are due to lack of adequate lubrication which as a result causes machine down time, costly repairs and loss in productivity.

Now with Timken's Self-retracting Grease Reel (SGR), all lubrication points including the stock head can be automatically lubricated from one grease pump as the machine is  operating. Together with the HDI grease pump, SPL progressive divider valves and SGR attachment, all points are lubricated with precise amounts of grease at pre determined intervals.
