 SKF Oil Flow Meters 

Many organizations who depend on circulating oil systems to lubricate and cool their high demand bearings are most likely familiar with the concept of an oil flow meter.

Flow meters are nothing more than a mechanical checkpoint that throttles the flow of incoming oil prior to reaching its intended lubrication point. Flow speed, Turbulence, Inlet Temperature play a major role in maximizing the usable life of a bearing. Circulation systems and flow meters work hand in hand to ensure the serviced bearings do not experience deviations from the true needs of the bearings.

 SKF Safe Flow Meters 

Safe Flow or SF Meters have been in production for the better part of 40 years and have a long standing reputation for being mechanically sound and relatively maintenance free. SF meters can be found by the thousands throughout pulp and paper mills across the country. Many of which have been in service since the 1960's.

   Safe Flow Features:   

  • Multiple banks sizes
  • Upgradeable Common Alarm 
  • Flow Rates between .2 - 15 pints/min

Organizations have been trending towards connectivity over the past two decades. With the advent of the internet, we are seeing a push to incorporate additional networking features into the functionality of equipment. 

Traditional SF meters are known for their durability and have served a great number of organizations over the years, however, one of the biggest limitations of an SF meters would be it's limited connectivity and lack of temperature flow compensation. Viscosity of oil is dependent on temperature, and if the operating temperature varies from its original set point the SF meter reading will be inaccurate. 

SKF's Flowline meters are their newest innovation in metering technology. Bringing analog meters into the digital age has allowed organization to closely monitor the health of their rotating equipment.  

  SKF Flowline Meters  

  Flowline Features   

  • Fieldbus, Relay or Analog outputs
  • Easy-to-use Interface
  • Turbine based technology
  • Automatic temperature compensation
  • Monitor individual lubrication points
