Monitoring Devices for Lubrication Systems
Sensors and switches that turn a lubrication system from something that runs into something you can prove ran. They cover reservoir level, pump pressure, divider cycling and, at the sharp end, delivery at the bearing itself. SES holds the range as an authorised SKF distributor, covering device types Pressure switches, cycle switches, level sensors, flow indicators; outputs Volt-free contacts, 4 to 20 mA, digital network; ingress protection Washdown and outdoor-rated variants; mounting Direct into divider blocks, reservoirs and line ends. Executions include sensors for use with lubrication systems, pressure switches, cycle and piston detectors for divider blocks, reservoir level switches and transmitters, among others. It is specified most often into unmanned conveyor drive stations on overland routes and kiln and mill drive lubrication circuits. 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.

From integrated steel plants to power utilities and EPC majors — the works that cannot afford a counterfeit part specify through SES.
What they prove
Level, pressure, cycling or actual delivery
Output
Volt-free contact, analogue signal or network message
Placement
Far end of the system, not at the pump
Interlock
Alarm only, or machine stop on lube fault
Where it runs.
You will find Monitoring Devices for Lubrication Systems in the parts of a plant where this particular duty actually occurs. In practice that means unmanned conveyor drive stations on overland routes, kiln and mill drive lubrication circuits, mobile crushing plant with no permanent attendant, and equally rolling mill lubrication panels with plant-wide alarms, port crane and stacker onboard lubrication systems. What links them is the duty rather than the machine name — what they prove: Level, pressure, cycling or actual delivery. 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. Only evidence available today is that the pump motor ran — A cycle sensor at the last divider block in the chain. Motor run time proves the pump turned, nothing more, and a burst hose will let it turn happily all shift. System that must not silently continue after a fault — A fault contact wired into the drive interlock with a defined grace period. Alarm-only monitoring works exactly as long as somebody is looking at the panel. Grease reservoir on plant that pitches and vibrates — A level sensing method that tolerates slosh, such as a follower plate position sensor. Float and simple probe types chatter and generate nuisance low-level alarms. 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.
Decide first what fault you actually want to catch, then place the device. Monitoring bolted on at the pump end because the wiring is easier catches only the failures that were never going to hurt you.
