SKF LHMT is a chain lubricant packaged for use in automatic lubricators. It is applied to drive and conveyor chains to reduce wear at pins, bushings and plates, and to keep the chain running clean and stable. It suits drives and conveyors where manual re-lubrication is not practical and a centralized dosing system is preferred.

The LHMT code identifies the SKF chain oil line in a format intended for automatic lubricators. In a code such as LHMT 68/5, the first number is the ISO viscosity grade and the second is the container or presentation format. Reading the code this way tells you how fluid the oil is and how it is supplied. When requesting a quote, send the complete code as it appears on the equipment or in the maintenance manual.

Typical applications include packaging lines, ovens, dryers, elevators, roller conveyors and drive chains in food, ceramic, textile and surface treatment plants. These are environments with moderate temperatures and frequent lubrication needs, where an automatic lubricator helps prevent downtime caused by missed lubrication and reduces lubricant consumption.

Selecting the right grade depends on chain speed, load, operating temperature and the surrounding conditions, such as dust, humidity or washdowns. An oil that is too thin will not stay on the pin; one that is too thick will not penetrate. Follow the volume and frequency set on the lubricator, and make sure the dispenser is calibrated. Clean the fill point before adding oil to avoid introducing contaminants. Chain alignment and tension also affect wear.

Chain oils are chosen by ISO viscosity grade and by compatibility with the lubrication system, not by brand. If the equipment specifies an ISO grade, you can compare products from different manufacturers as long as the grade and base type match. Do not mix oils with different bases without checking with us. If you are unsure, provide the original code and the lubricator details, and we will help you confirm the correct replacement.

This SKF oil is one of the brands we supply. To replenish your automatic lubricator, send the LHMT code and the quantity you need via WhatsApp or email. We will provide a quote and can also advise if you need to replace the lubricator or adapt the line to a different container format.
