Rack and pinion (sprocket) lubrication

SKF lubrication pinions provide contact lubrication of pinion gears on open gear wheels and gear racks. A lubrication pinion also lubricates the tooth flanks of open gears, such as large slewing bearings or pitch bearings. The rolling motion of this device continuously applies 100% lubricant film coverage to the tooth flank, thus reducing wear and simultaneously providing corrosion protection to the gear drive. Connectable to an automatic lubrication system, like pump-topoint, multi-line or progressive, the pinion provides the tooth flanks with the appropriate amount of lubricant.The lubrication pinions do not require pressurized air. Therefore, no spray mist contaminates the environment. In addition, NLGI grade 2 grease can be applied. When compared to manual lubrication, use of these pinions provides better quality lubrication, as well as reduces labor and the risk of accidents
