Control Units and Software for Lubrication Systems
Timers, programmable controllers and the software behind them, deciding when a lubrication cycle starts, how long it runs, and what happens when it fails. This is where the maintenance interval stops being a wall chart and becomes a machine function. SES holds the range as an authorised SKF distributor, covering trigger inputs Timer, running hours, cycle contact, pulse or encoder; monitoring inputs Pressure switch, cycle sensor, level, motor feedback; outputs Pump control, alarm contact, interlock contact; communications Common industrial fieldbus and network options. Executions include simple interval timers, programmable lubrication controllers, controllers with fieldbus communications, panel-mounted control units with local display, among others. It is specified most often into overland conveyor lubrication controlled from the plant DCS and mobile crushing and screening plant onboard controllers. Every part is genuine SKF through official channels, with designation, specification and options confirmed against your duty before it ships — supplied from Kolkata and our branch network, with breakdown cover that does not sit in an inbox.

Where it runs.
You will find Control Units and Software for Lubrication Systems in the parts of a plant where this particular duty actually occurs. In practice that means overland conveyor lubrication controlled from the plant DCS, mobile crushing and screening plant onboard controllers, press line lubrication triggered from the machine cycle, and equally kiln and mill drive systems with a central alarm panel, crane and stacker travel lubrication on distance count. What links them is the duty rather than the machine name — triggers: Time, running hours, machine cycles or distance. If your installation is not on that list it matters less than you would think: the operating condition decides the specification. Send us the load, the speed, the running temperature and the environment it runs in, and we will match it to the right execution in the SKF range and confirm what is in stock.
Specify it against the duty.
Specification here follows the operating condition, not the catalogue. Machine that stands idle for days between production campaigns — Running-hour triggering taken from the drive contactor, not calendar time. A stationary bearing does not consume grease, and calendar dosing fills the housing while the plant is shut. Travelling machine where wear follows distance, not time — Pulse or encoder-based triggering from the travel drive. Time-based dosing on a machine that travels erratically over-lubricates on quiet days and starves it during a heavy campaign. Critical drive where a lubrication failure must stop the machine — A controller with a hard interlock output and a defined grace period before it acts. An alarm-only output on an unattended drive is a record of the failure, not a defence against it. Where two of those apply at once, specify for the harsher of the two — under-specifying is what puts the part back on the bench a month later. Send us the duty and we will confirm the execution.

Ordering this from SES.
Take the run signal from the drive contactor rather than the main incomer. Controllers wired to a supply that is live whenever the plant is energised keep dosing through every shutdown, and the housings are packed solid before the first restart.
