The addition of a new LAGC S coupler, aimed at enhancing the performance, safety, and ease of operation of SKF’s proven grease gun and pump ranges, demonstrates the commitment of the global bearing and rotating equipment specialist to channel innovation into its products and technology solutions. The lever-action type coupler simplifies the manual lubrication process and improves user safety, making it an indispensable accessory that complements SKF grease gun and pump ranges. Highlighting the benefits operators can expect when using the coupler, product manager, Eddie Martens first addresses its performance. “The robust LAGC S boasts a maximum working pressure of 550 bar/8000 PSI, optimising lubrication tasks,” he says.
Moving on to the coupler’s quick, simple, safe and user-friendly operation, Martens explains that the unit’s convenient one-handed control facilitates use and enhances operator comfort. The coupler’s reliable locking and quick-release mechanism creates a leak-proof seal, allowing for hands-free lubrication. Moreover, the user-friendly reverse-jaw design ensures that the coupler firmly latches to the grease fitting, remaining securely attached to the seat without being held in place. Along with providing a seamless greasing experience free of broken fittings and leaks, the risk of grease spillage is minimised, ensuring a cleaner application. Compatible with all manual, air and electrically-driven grease guns and pumps and most of the common industrial DIN and SAE grease fittings, the versatile LAGC S coupler is an indispensable tool for a wide variety of applications.
