SKF’s innovative TLGB 21 battery-driven grease gun optimises lubrication efficiency and reduces costs, by seamlessly combining advanced technology with a smart, rugged design. Engineered for exceptional performance, the robust TLGB 21 is ideal for the efficient lubrication of bearings and machines that operate in diverse industrial, manufacturing, agricultural and construction environments.
At the heart of the grease gun is the integrated grease meter that monitors and tracks the exact amount of grease dispensed. This practice ensures precise and reliable lubrication control, mitigating the risks and expenses associated with both over- and under-lubrication. Product manager, Eddie Martens explains why accurate lubrication is so critical: “Under-lubrication can potentially cause premature bearing failure, while over-lubrication of bearings, especially in fast-moving equipment like electric motors, can result in excess lubricant, which can damage seals and generate high temperatures, significantly shortening lubricant lifespan, causing machines to break down. Moreover, under- and over-lubrication can lead to the entry of contaminants. The end result of both unwanted scenarios is that downtime goes up, production goes down and operational costs soar.”
Capable of delivering pressures of up to 700 bar, the versatile grease gun features an adjustable two-speed high- and low-volume flow rate that allows for precise lubrication tailored to the customer’s specific application requirements.
The tool’s powerful 20 V 2.5 Ah lithium-ion battery is able to dispense up to 24 grease cartridges on a single charge, contributing to extended operating time and boosted productivity. “We also offer an optional high-capacity battery that can dispense up to 40 grease cartridges, with longer intervals between charges, further driving up productivity,” adds Martens.
SKF grease cartridges, available in a convenient 420 ml size, are designed for quick and easy refills, and come in a wide variety of grease types tailored to meet diverse application demands. All greases rated up to NLGI 2 are compatible with all SKF grease guns.
The TLGB 21 boasts durable ergonomics to ensure maximum operator comfort and ease of use. A built-in LED light illuminates the work area for easy location of grease fittings in low-light conditions, while the unit’s lightweight design with optimised balance, coupled with a convenient four-point stand, further facilitate use. The device is equipped with a clear display that indicates critical data such as the charge level of the lithium-ion battery, the pump/motor speed, the amount of grease dispensed, the remaining grease level inside the cartridge, and blocked lubrication points.
Additional noteworthy features and benefits of the TLGB 21 include:
• A filler nipple allows for clean and easy filling from drums with filler pumps.
• Spring guards prevent kinks, thus extending the life of the flex hose and ensuring smooth operation.
• A vent valve eliminates trapped air inside the grease gun for effortless priming and consistent performance.
• A precision-machined four-jaw coupler ensures reliable connection and exceptional durability.
Suitable for a variety of manual lubrication tasks, the cutting-edge TLGB 21 battery-driven grease gun is supplied in a convenient carry case that is easy to store and use. It contains a grease tube assembly, lithium-ion battery, charger and lubrication hose.
