The SKF series 340 metering device is a distributor block used in centralized lubrication systems to supply measured amounts of lubricant to multiple points. It installs in the supply line and can operate progressively or volumetrically, depending on how it is set up. This helps maintain consistent lubrication across bearings, guides, chains and gears, which supports reliable operation and reduces the risk of unplanned downtime. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this series.

The part number for these metering devices is made up of several segments separated by hyphens. The prefix LL/ denotes the distributor block family. A series number follows, which indicates the size and number of outlets. Next, a section number shows the number of pistons or metering channels. The letters VS then identify the valve or sealing variant, and the final number refers to a specific flow or pressure configuration. A -ZZ suffix means the unit has special protection or sealing. To interpret a code accurately, consult the technical documentation or send us the complete part number.

These distributor blocks are found in industries that need precise, automatic lubrication, such as food and beverage plants, cement works, mining operations, steel mills, paper mills and machine tool builders. They are common on packaging lines, mills, presses and material handling equipment. From a single pumping point, they deliver lubricant to bearings, guides, chains and gears, which simplifies maintenance and helps ensure each point receives the correct dose. Because the system is centralized, it also lowers the chance of missed lubrication points and supports longer component service life.

When selecting a metering device, consider the number of lubrication points, whether the lubricant is grease or oil, the working pressure and the required flow rate. The seal must be compatible with the lubricant and the environmental conditions. During assembly, check that connections are aligned and that lines are clean to prevent blockages. Use the lubricant recommended by the equipment manufacturer, and purge the system before startup. Careful installation and a preventive maintenance program contribute to dependable operation.

When replacing a metering device, you may find equivalents across different brands of centralized lubrication systems. Each manufacturer uses its own nomenclature, but distributor blocks are generally chosen by flow rate, pressure and number of outlets rather than by brand. If you have the original equipment part number, we can help you identify the appropriate SKF alternative.
