The SKF SYSTEM 24 is a single-point lubricator that runs on gas and feeds grease to one lubrication point in a steady, controlled way. It can be fitted right at the point or set up remotely using a hose, and it needs no external power or manual attention while it is working. This makes it useful where reaching the point is difficult or where manual greasing does not happen as often as it should. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this line with a range of pre-filled greases.

Reading a code such as LAGD 60/HMT68 or LAGD 125/HMT68: LAGD is the gas-driven automatic lubricator family; the first figure gives the reservoir volume in milliliters, 60 or 125 for example; HMT is the mechanism base code; and the number at the end identifies the grease the unit is filled with, 68 in these examples. You will also see suffixes such as HB2 for LGHB 2 grease, WA2 for LGWA 2, and FG for food grade.

Typical places these units show up include food and beverage, cement, mining, paper, water treatment and general manufacturing. They are found on electric motors, pumps, fans, conveyor bearings, chains and linear guides. Where a plant has many lubrication points and limited labor, they keep those points lubricated without depending on manual rounds. They are also a common choice for remote or hard-to-reach equipment, where bringing a conventional grease gun to the point is complicated.

Selection starts with the grease the bearing or point requires, since not all greases are compatible with each other. The suffix in the code tells you which grease is pre-filled, so pick the one that fits the application, food grade for indirect food contact for instance. Mounting can be direct at the point or remote with a hose and adapters. Ambient temperature and grease viscosity affect the discharge time, so check that the lubricator is shielded from impacts and excessive vibration.

Other brands of automatic lubricators can do a similar job, but the mechanism, the pre-filled grease and the mounting accessories are not the same. Direct interchangeability is not assured: drive type, reservoir volume and grease all have to be compared. When replacing an existing lubricator, the safest route is to give us the full code of the original unit along with the operating conditions so the right alternative can be reviewed.

If you already have the LAGD code with its suffix, send it by WhatsApp or email to MR Industrial Accessories and we will quote the version you need. If you are unsure which grease your equipment calls for, tell us the application, the operating temperature and the type of bearing or point being lubricated, and we will help you define the SKF SYSTEM 24 lubricator that fits.
