Lincoln Lubrication
Centralised automatic machinery lubrication systems are an effective way to increase machine run-time without lubrication maintenance. These systems provide the appropriate lubrication quantity at the correct intervals, minimising friction and wear; Thus, optimising bearing and machinery service life.
Designed to lubricate individual machines or complete plants, automatic lubrication systems provide proper, precise lubricant replenishment to all required points, enabling a range of benefits in the process.
Lincoln Lubrication Models
There are 3 different Circulating Oil Lubrication models available:
without Cooler
with Air Cooler
with Water Cooler
All models work in a side stream (kidney loop) configuration. The units are installed directly on the machine. Access ports should be located on opposing sides of the oil sump, so that suitable oil circulation is possible. Once installed correctly, the system will be ready for continuous operation, with its very own automatic machine lubrication system.
Features and Benefits:
Continuous lubricant cooling and filtration to extend machine life.
Eliminates wear and premature failures efficiently.
Optional available with frequency converter, electrical clogging indicator, temperature transmitter, pressure transmitter, gauge, shut-off valve, flow meter, moisture transmitter or thermostat.
Dust proof cabinet with cooling or heating design on request.
Virtually maintenance free
Easy to use and Install.
Applications:
Machine tools
Automation
On/Off-road machines
Construction, agriculture and forestry machines
Mining and cement industry
Food and beverage
Railroad applications
Steel industry
Pulp and paper
Wind energy
And more
Heavy loaded bearings on top drives, gearboxes or very large motors need special attention to their lubrication requirements.
The solution is a Circulating Oil Lubrication System that separates dirt particles, air bubbles and water from the oil. A pressurised oil system transports the lubricant to the individually adjustable low meters. In case of cold external temperatures, an electrical heater can be used to provide optimal start up temperature in the lubrication cycle.
These customer-specific solutions are compact units in a pump-cooler arrangement that supply the lubrication points with the right amount of tempered lubricating oil. Durable materials help ensure that even difficult ambient conditions have no negative effect on the system’s functionality.
Variable Delivery Rates
Actual delivery rates can be monitored visually or electronically, and multiple warning levels are available for condition-based maintenance. AMET INDUSTRIES circulating oil lubrication systems are offered in a wide range of tailored and ready-to-use solutions for volumetric flows from 1 to 3000 litres/min (0.26 to 792 gal/min). The number and type of units are determined by the lubricant used and its viscosity index, the required volume and the required pressure. Gear, gyrator and screw pumps often are used with these systems.
Operation in Explosive Zones
AMET INDUSTRIES circulating oil lubrication systems can be used in explosive atmospheres, for example up to ATEX zone 1, or in compliance with relevant standards such as the American Petroleum Institute’s (API) Standard 614.
Smart Lubrication – lubricates and cools at the same time
Compressors in a Hydrocarbon Processing Facility Lincoln Lubrication Systems, Smart Lubrication assists in maintaining the correct operating temperatures of the machinery and viscosity of the oil, by filtering and pre-cooling the lubricant whilst it is pumped.
Compressors in hydrocarbon processing facilities fit into one of three categories:
Centrifugal compressors, which must endure high speeds and temperatures.
Reciprocating compressors, used in low-volume, high- pressure applications; or
Screw compressors used to distribute natural gas through pipelines under harsh chemical conditions.
Proper lubrication protects your compressor, extends the life of its critical components and keeps this valued asset generating revenue. AMET INDUSTRIES has the experience and product portfolio for these lubrication tasks with a range of Lincoln Lubrication Systems Installations.
Delivering the right amount of oil at the right time to compressor cylinders and rod packing is a critical requirement to keep a natural gas compressor operating efficiently. Under-lubrication can cause damaging metal-to-metal contact that generates excessive heat and results in wear or machine downtime.
Over-lubrication essentially wastes money and negatively impacts compressor efficiency and the environment.
Automated lubrication systems for Fixed Plant equipment
Automated Lubrication on fixed plant equipment, is essential to maintain up-time, during normal industrial/plant operations.

Oil Circulation Lubrication Systems Lincoln Lubrication Systems – SKF CircOil
Lincoln Flowline Oil Supply Unit for Circulation Systems
SKF CircOil systems are designed primarily for oil circulation lubrication to lubricate as well as cool highly stressed bearings in nearly every size of machine. Additionally, the returning oil removes and filters out wear particles from friction points and prevents corrosion damage by removing air and water from bearings. Thus, a continuous oil low is necessary SKF CircOil systems include a wide range of customized and turnkey solutions for low rates from 0.1–3,000 l/min. They are simple to service and feature a modular design that can be expanded easily/ Our patented tank design with the SKF plate separator technology increases operating efficiency to up to 90%. An oil supply system delivers the lubricant to the adjustment valves with individual settings.
Flow Rate
Flow rates can be controlled visually or electronically Monitoring systems with a low-rate read-out function and individual warning levels are available for a more predictive maintenance approach.
Industry Usage
Oil circulation lubrication systems are used in pulp and paper and printing industry, as well as in many other industries. They also are used in heavy industries like marine or tunnel boring. In addition, SKF offers a range of oil circulation EEX components and systems specially designed for operations in harsh conditions and explosive atmospheres like mining or cement mills.
SKF oil circulation system consists of the following components:
An oil supply unit with oil reservoir and pump unit/station (optionally equipped with filters and oil conditioning units)
A control device
One or several monitoring devices, low metering devices or sump units
Fittings and pipes
When planning a lubrication system, ambient conditions must first be determined. The number of lubrication points, back pressures at the lubrication points, operating temperature range, the feed pump’s drive energy, drive control and monitoring, must be assessed correctly. Attention must also be given to the bearing or lubrication point information. The sum of all the quantities metered out by the system’s metering devices needs to be completed to with a safety margin, expansion and comprehensibility loss.
SKF application engineers as well as SKF sales partners and distributors, are experts in designing lubrication systems according to these specifications. A lubrication system laid out by SKF and partners ensures the supply of the correct amount of lubricant at the best time to lubricate. This reduces wear and minimizes pollution caused by over-lubrication
System advantages
Cools highly stressed bearings
Removes particles from bearings
Durable pump series designed for 24/7 operation
Oil reservoir sizes from 3 to 40 000 liters; (0.79 to 10 567 gal)
High operating efficiency
Easy expansion of the lubrication system
Able to pump long distances and within a wide temperature range
Applications
SKF CircOil lubrication systems are suitable for various industries that operate 24/7. While cooling is the predominant task of these systems, they equally supply bearings and gearboxes with clean oil at the correct temperature and viscosity. Small, highly efficient oil reservoirs provide a high level of machine availability and save money at the same time. A large variety of flow meters allows for it for purpose, our solutions, offer state of the art monitoring and digitisation of flow information.
Lincoln Lubrication Systems, tailor-made controllers support stand-alone operation of SKF oil circulation lubrication systems in some of the following Industries.
