Global industrial and automotive supplier Schaeffler has launched its new CONCEPT1 single-point automatic lubricator to the UK market.

“Approximately 60 per cent of electric motor failures can be traced to bearing-related problems that are typically due to lubrication issues”, says David French, Product Manager for Industry 4.0 solutions at Schaeffler. “Accordingly, we designed CONCEPT1 to provide our customers with a versatile and easy-to-use solution that delivers the right grease in the right quantity at just the right intervals.”

CONCEPT1 uses an electromechanical reaction to precisely and continuously supply the correct amount of lubricant to rolling bearings inside electric motors and other industrial machinery. Easy to install and operate, CONCEPT1 can reduce plant maintenance costs by as much as 25% when compared to manual lubrication procedures.

CONCEPT1 is available pre-filled with Schaeffler’s industry-leading range of Arcanol greases or alternatively, customers can purchase empty lubricant cartridges for CONCEPT1 and use their own grease. To reduce waste and help protect the environment, CONCEPT1 can be refilled up to three times using Schaeffler’s specially designed refill kits.
