When a progressive lubrication system is in place, the SKF Lincoln MKU pump unit serves as the central drive that moves lubricant from the reservoir to the metering devices. Those devices then distribute measured quantities to each lubrication point. This pump is chosen for machinery where grease starvation would halt production: assembly lines, machine tools, presses, conveyors, and equipment in mining or cement operations. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this brand and can help you determine the right configuration for your system.

The model code on these units uses letters and numbers to indicate the base model and various configuration options. In the MKU series, the characters following the hyphen specify details such as the drive type, pumping ratio, or reservoir capacity. For instance, the part number LL/MKU1-11AC10000 428 identifies a unit built for a particular progressive system setup. To read each suffix correctly, refer to the manufacturer's technical documentation or provide us with the complete part number. Making assumptions about equivalents without verification is not recommended.

You will find these pumps in industries where automatic lubrication is essential: food and beverage processing, cement production, mining, steel mills, pulp and paper, and machinery manufacturing. They are common in packaging lines, mills, presses, and material handling equipment. Because progressive systems rely on sequential metering, the pump must supply enough flow and pressure to operate the metering devices and compensate for pressure losses in the circuit, even when the lubricant is cold or the lines are long.

Selecting the right unit involves several factors: the lubricant type (NLGI 0, 1, or 2 grease, or oil), its viscosity, the operating temperature, and the number of lubrication points. Proper installation calls for a stable mounting surface, clean connections, and purging the system before startup. Aligning the coupling and sealing all connections helps prevent leaks and pressure drops. Follow the specified tightening torque for fittings and check that the relief valve functions correctly. A careless installation can shorten the life of the pump and the metering devices.

SKF Lincoln units are often used to replace progressive systems from other brands, but there are no universal equivalents: thread sizes, flow per cycle, and maximum pressures differ. Before swapping a pump, compare performance curves and check compatibility with the existing metering devices. If the system is from another brand, replacing the entire unit or consulting a specialist is the safest approach. MR Industrial Accessories can help you evaluate compatibility and find the right configuration.
