 1. Safety instructions
1. Safety instructions
Only gerotor pump units of series 143
tested and
approved by SKF in accordance with ATEX
Directive 2014/34/EU are permitted to be
used in potentially explosive atmospheres.
The relevant class of explosion protection is
indicated on the gerotor pump unit’s rating
plate.
1.1 Special safety instructions regarding
explosion protection
○ Always behave so as to avoid explosion
hazards.
○ A written work authorization from the
operator is required prior to initiating
work in potentially explosive atmo-
spheres. Unauthorized persons must be
kept away.
○ There must be no evidence that parts of
the explosion protection are missing or
non-functional. If this is not excluded,
switch off the machine/gerotor pump unit
and immediately notify the supervisor.
○ Explosion protection measures must
never be deactivated, changed, or
bypassed.
○ The introduction of ignition sources such
as sparks, open flames, and hot surfaces
into potentially explosive atmospheres is
prohibited.
○ Inspect the product at regular intervals
for damage that may present a risk of
ignition.
○ The lubricant’s ignition temperature has
to be at least 50 kelvin above the maxi-
mum permissible surface temperature.
○ Use only tools and clothing approved for
use in potentially explosive atmospheres
(ESD).
○ Transport/assembly/repairs and work on
electrical components may be performed
only if it is ensured that there is no ex-
plosive atmosphere present.
○ Repairs or modifications to explosion-
proof machinery may be performed only
by the manufacturer or a workshop rec-
ognized by a notified body and accepted
by the manufacturer. If the work is not
performed by the manufacturer itself, the
repair must be accepted and approved
in writing by a recognized expert. The
repair is marked by a repair sign on the
machine containing the following infor-
mation:
- Date
- Executing company
- Type of repair
- If applicable, mark by expert
○ Shipping damage may lead to the loss of
explosion protection. If there is apparent
shipping damage, do not install/put into
operation the product.
○ All parts of the grounding concept must
be properly present and connected with
the main machine.
○ If lifting eyes are removed after installa-
tion, seal the threaded holes according to

nents by appropriate means.
○ Fill level monitoring with min. pre-warn-
ing and max. must be provided or appro-
priate organizational measures taken to
monitor the temperature of the bearings.
○ Prevent/immediately remove accu-
mulated dust. Accumulated dust has a
thermal insulating effect and promotes
the formation of a potentially explosive
atmosphere when agitated/swirled.
○ The product must be integrated into the
operator’s lightning protection scheme.
○ All parts must be inspected for corro-
sion on a regular basis. Replace affected
parts.

tions are stored in the motor’s terminal
box.
o The customer must install adequate
overload protection (motor circuit break-
er) for the power consumption of the
gerotor pump motor.
o When installing the gerotor pump unit,
make sure that the setup location is flat
and low-vibration.
o To limit the maximum system pressure,
the customer must install a pressure
regulating valve immediately after the an-
nular gear.
o Only lines that are made of corrosion-
resistant material may be used. These
must also be grounded.
o The user must make sure through the
choice of the lubricant to be delivered
that no reactions capable of serving as an
ignition source will occur in conjunction
with the potentially explosive atmosphere
expected.

1. Safety instructions
1.16 Transport, assembly, servicing,
repair, maintenance
○ All relevant persons (e.g., operating per-
sonnel, supervisors) must be informed
of the activity prior to the start of work.
Precautionary operational measures /
work instructions must be observed.
○ Take appropriate measures to ensure
that moving/detached parts are im-
mobilized during the work and that no
limbs can be pinched by unintended
movements.
○ Install the pump only outside the op-
erating range of moving parts, at an
adequate distance from sources of heat
or cold.
○ Dry any wet, slippery surfaces.
○ Cover hot or cold surfaces appropriately.
○ Prior to performing work, the pump must
be depressurized and secured against
unauthorized activation. Work on electri-
cal components may be performed only
by qualified electricians. Note possible
waiting times for discharge.
○ Establish the electrical connection only in
accordance with the valid circuit diagram
and in observance of the relevant regula-
tions and the local electrical operating
conditions.
○ Do not touch cables or electrical compo-
nents with wet or moist hands.
○ Maintenance and repair work can be
subject to restrictions at low or high tem-
peratures (e.g., altered flow properties
of the lubricant). Maintenance and repair
work should therefore preferably be per-
formed at room temperature.
○ All work on electrical components may be
performed only with voltage-insulated
tools.
○ Fuses must not be bridged. Always re-
place fuses with fuses of the same type.
○ Drill any required holes on the system/
machine only on non-critical, non-load-
bearing parts. Use existing boreholes. Do
not damage lines or cables when drilling.
○ Observe any possible wearing spots. Pro-
tect components appropriately.
○ Other units of the machine must not be
damaged or their function impaired by
the installation of the centralized lubrica-
tion system.
 1. Safety instructions
○ All components used must be designed
for:
- The maximum operating pressure
- The maximum/minimum ambient
temperature
-The lubricant to be delivered
-The required ATEX zone
-The operating/ambient conditions
at the place of use.
○ No parts of the centralized lubrication
device may be subjected to torsion, shear,
or bending.
○ Check all parts for contamination before
use and clean if necessary. Lubrication
lines should be filled with lubricant prior
to assembly. This simplifies subsequent
venting of the system.
○ Adhere to the specified torques. Use
a calibrated torque wrench when
tightening.
○ Use suitable hoisting equipment when
working with heavy parts.
○ Avoid mixing up/incorrectly assembling
disassembled parts. Label parts.

2. Lubricants
2.1 General information
Lubricants are used specially for specific
applications. To fulfill the task, lubricants
must meet various requirements to varying
degrees. The most important requirements
for lubricants are:
○ Reduction in friction and wear
○ Corrosion protection
○ Noise reduction
○ Protection against contamination/ingress
of foreign matter
○ Cooling (primarily for oils)
○ Durability (physical/chemical stability)
○ Compatible with as many materials as
possible
○ Economic and environmental aspects
2.2 Selection of lubricants
SKF Lubrication Systems considers lubri-
cants to be an element of system design.
The selection of a suitable lubricant should
reasonably be made during the design of
the machine and forms the basis for plan-
ning the centralized lubrication system.
The manufacturer/operator of the machine
should preferably make the selection with
the supplier of the lubricant on the basis of
the requirements profile of the specific task.
If you have no or little experience selecting
lubricants for centralized lubrication sys-
tems, please contact SKF.
We gladly assist our customers in the selec-
tion of suitable components for feeding the
selected lubricant and in the planning and
design of a centralized lubrication system.
This may spare you potentially costly
downtime due to damage to the machine/
system and/or damage to the centralized
lubrication system.
951-180-074-EN Version 02, last updated 2017 / 02
Only lubricants specified for the
product may be used (see “Tech-
nical data” chapter). Unsuitable
lubricants lead to failure of the
product and possibly to property
damage.
Do not mix lubricants. This can
have unpredictable effects on the
usability and this function of the
centralized lubrication system.
Due to the large number of pos-
sible additives, it is possible that
individual lubricants that meet
the required specifications ac-
cording to the manufacturer’s
data sheet are not suitable for
use in centralized lubrication sys-
tems (e.g., incompatibility
between synthetic lubricants and
materials). To avoid this, always
use lubricants tested by SKF.
2.3 Material compatibility
The lubricants must be compatible with
the following materials:
○ Steel, gray cast iron, brass, copper,
aluminum
○ FKM (FPM), ABS, PA, PU
- 16 -
2. Lubricants
2.4 Aging of lubricants
In case of extended machine downtime,
check before re-commissioning that the
lubricant is still suitable for use in terms of
chemical/physical signs of aging. We recom-
mend performing this inspection after 1
week
of machine downtime.
In case of doubt regarding the suitability of
the lubricant, replace it before re-commis-
sioning and, if necessary, perform an initial
lubrication manually.
It is possible for lubricants to be tested in the
company's laboratory for their suitability for
pumping in centralized lubrication systems
(e.g., "bleeding").
Please contact SKF if you have further ques-
tions regarding lubricants.
An overview of the lubricants we have
tested is available on request.
2.5 Lubricants in potentially explosive
atmospheres
The lubricant’s ignition tempera-
ture has to be at least 50 kelvin
above the maximum permissible
surface temperature.

The gerotor pumps include a gasket set made of FKM (FPM).
SKF gerotor pump units feed lubricating and hydraulic oils from a
reservoir and into the pipe system of a centralized lubrication sys-
tem. In doing so, they increase the energy of the pumped medium
(pressure increase) to overcome flow resistance in the pipelines
(pressure loss), the components (filters, valves, distributors), and the
bearings and friction points.
SKF gerotor pump units of different types and performance ratings
are used depending on the type and size of the centralized lubrica-
tion system and the lubricant (see pump code or “Technical data”
chapter).

3.5 Operation of the gerotor pump units

)See Figure 4

SKF gerotor pump units of product series 143 have a constant dis-
placement volume and one delivery circuit. SKF CircOil centralized lubrication system, Fig. 3
The annular-toothed feeding element, also referred to as the gero-
tor, is equipped with a cycloid contour, which creates a large 3
tooth meshing length. This yields a low volumetric flow pulsation
and thus very smooth running, low noise production, and good suc-
tion characteristics.

SKF gerotor pumps consist primarily of pump housing (1), the shaft
(2), the displacement elements toothed rotor (3) and annular gear
(4), and the lid (5).
They are driven by attached AC motors of frame sizes 71 to 132 with
flameproof enclosures.
The motors are designed for a rated motor voltage of 230/400 V or
400/690 V for 50 Hz networks with mains voltage fluctuations of
up to ± 10% and frequency fluctuations from -5% to +3% accord-
ing to EN ISO 60034-1.
The normal coils used for this purpose in motors are tailor-
made and meet the IE3 efficiency level according to EU Directive
2009/125/EC.
Special voltage versions with special coils for 50 Hz and 60 Hz net- Functional description of a gerotor pump, Fig. 4

The shaft drives the centrally mounted toothed rotor in the indicated
direction of rotation via a feather key. The toothed rotor meshes
with the outer, eccentrically mounted annular gear and rotates with
it. The openings between teeth arising in the suction area (S) draw
the pumped medium in. The suction and pressure area is separated
from the tooth meshing area (Z) by a radial gap (R) formed by the
R
tooth profiles of the annular gear and the toothed rotor as they slide
onto one another. In the pressurized area (P), the fluid is fed to the S S S
pressure port through increasingly small chambers.

4.7 Viscosity-temperature relationship of oils with different rated viscosity

See Chapters 4.7.1 to 4.7.2
The curves shown in both figures are based on a viscosity index (VI) The change in the viscosity of oils is disproportionately greater in
of VI ~ 95, approximately corresponding to standard mineral oil. The lower temperature ranges than in higher temperature ranges. For
viscosity index describes the slope of the curve and thus the viscosi- example, an oil with a rated viscosity of 100 undergoes the following
ty-temperature relationship at temperatures other than +40°C. viscosity change in different temperature ranges at the same tem-
The lines appear straight because a logarithmic scale was selected perature difference:
for the ordinate so that the slope of the curves can be determined at +80°C = 18 mm2/s
easily based on 2 measuring points. at +10°C = 875 mm2/s
versus: 4
Important note: at +75°C = 21 mm2/s change of 3 mm2/s
at + 5°C = 1450 mm2/s change of 575 mm2/s.

cedures, and explosive atmosphere classifications. The specialist is
familiar with the rules and requirements relevant to his or her activity
and explosion protection, especially ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU.
951-180-074-EN Version 02, last updated 2017 / 02
6. Assembly
6.1.3 Attachment
The product should, to the extent possible, be protected from hu-
midity and vibration, and should be mounted so that it is easily
accessible, allowing all further installation work to be done without
difficulty.
During assembly and especially when drilling assembly holes on the
system, always pay attention to the following:
○ Check the gerotor pump unit for any shipping damages and for
completeness.
○ The IP safety class must be observed.
○ The gerotor pump unit and its ground connection must be con-
nected to the equipotential bonding of the main machine.
○ Other units must not be damaged by assembly work.
○ The product must not be installed within range of moving parts.
○ The product must be installed at a sufficiently large distance from
sources of heat or cold.
○ Maintain safety clearances and comply with statutory regulations
for assembly and accident prevention.
○ Drill the assembly holes for the gerotor pump unit as specified in
this chapter.
○ The various designs of gerotor pump unit are secured using 4
screws according to the specific installation conditions at the
location.
○ See the connection diagrams below for the measurements and
port dimensions.
○ No radial or axial active forces may occur at the gerotor
pump unit.
○ The gerotor pump unit must be installed in a stress-free position.
○ The pump may only be commissioned and operated with an oil
supply; the pump must not run dry.
WARNING
Explosion hazard from non-ATEX-compliant attach-
ments and monitoring equipment
Only ATEX-compliant screw unions, lines, attachments,
and monitoring equipment may be installed on the ATEX
gerotor pump units.
WARNING
Explosion hazard
The lubricant’s ignition temperature has to be at least
50 kelvin above the maximum permissible surface
temperature.
- 26 -
6. Assembly
WARNING
Explosion hazard
In case the gerotor pump fails, there must be no risk of
explosion from the gerotor pump unit, the machine, or the
system. The customer must therefore provide a monitor-
ing function, for example in the form of a volumetric flow
meter.
WARNING
Explosion hazard at excessively high temperature
increase
A volumetric flow meter must be used if the viscosity is
<30 mm2/s and the pressure (P) is greater than 30 bar.
WARNING
Excessive switching voltage hazard
An isolating amplifier must be inserted if an electrical ATEX
fill level indicator will be used in a potentially explosive at-
mosphere. The maximum permissible voltage Ui must not
be exceeded.
If the pump unit is used in systems lacking open delivery lines,
pressure-regulating valves must be provided to limit the maximum
system pressure. The selected cross-section of the intake tube must
be equal to or greater than the cross-section of the suction port
on the gerotor pump unit. SKF recommends the use of filters for
trouble-free operation of the pump unit. Effective filtration prevents
malfunctions while also increasing the service life of the gerotor
pump unit.
A pumped medium of at least the purity class 20/17/14 according to
ISO 4406(c) is recommended. This corresponds to the U.S. standard
NAS code (1638) class 8 and SAE AS 4059 class 8.
A filter rating of approx. 5 to 10 µm meets this requirement.
The filter rating used is always based on the most sensitive compo-
nent in the entire system. This is not necessarily the pump.
- 27 -
EN
The following applies in general:
o Prior to beginning installation, inspect the full scope of delivery for
the gerotor pump unit for any damage or corrosion.
o A fill level indicator with pre-warning min./max. must be installed
on the customer’s system.
o The maximum permissible operating temperature (lubricant
temperature) must not be exceeded. Install a heat exchanger if
necessary.
o Carefully clean screw unions and tubing prior to beginning
installation.
o Lubricant exiting from the return line must not be immediately
resuctioned under any circumstances.
o The intake and return lines in the lubricant reservoir must be 6
below the minimum lubricant level in all operating states. This
prevents air and foam from being suctioned.
o It must be ensured that screw unions, connections, and connec-
tion elements are leak-free.
o SKF recommends the installation of return line or pressure filters.
However, suction filters should only be used in conjunction with
electric negative pressure switches or contamination indicators.
o Different lubricants must not be mixed together.
o Connect the gerotor pump unit as indicated by the rotation arrow;
see page 15, Fig. 1.
o The gerotor pump unit may only be commissioned and operated
with an oil supply; the gerotor pump must not run dry.
o Ensure cleanliness; components must be installed without
contamination.
o Do not use any cleaning wipes containing lint.
o Existing supply lines must not be damaged by assembly work.
o Other units must not be damaged by assembly work.
○ The gerotor pump unit must be set up at a location with the
specified ambient temperature (see “Technical data”) and max.
1000 m above sea level. Different ambient temperatures and
altitudes must be specified on the motor’s rating plate. The motor
must not be exposed to direct sunlight at ambient temperatures
above 30°C.
○ Air inlets and outlets on the motor fan cowl must not be ob-
structed, as this could cause the temperature to rise above the
approved temperature class and reduce the service life of the
winding insulation.
○ Air inlets and outlets on the motor fan cowl must be checked for
cleanliness in a regular inspection.
○ Assess vibrations of the machinery in accordance with ISO
10816-3. However, the maximum permitted vibration velocity is
3.5 mm/s due to the pressure-resistant design of the motors.
○ Drill assembly holes in such a way that no lines, units, or moving
parts are damaged or their function impaired. Maintain safety
clearances and comply with regulations for assembly and accident
prevention.

CAUTION
Slipping hazard
Centralized lubrication systems must always be free of
leaks. Leaking lubricant is hazardous due to the risk of
slipping and injury.
Beware of any lubricant leaking out during assembly, op-
eration, maintenance, or repair of centralized lubrication
systems. Leaks must be sealed off without delay.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Observe the technical data (Chapter 4).

6.7.1 Establishing grounding connection
for motor
)See Figures 15 to 17 and Fig. 18
WARNING
Hazardous contact voltages on unit
The protective earth conductor (in the motor terminal
box) and the equipotential bonding (on the motor hous-
ing) must always be connected. Ensure that the contact
is secure and that the connector diameter is adequate
and standard-compliant.
The product has ports for one protective earth conductor and one to
two equipotential bonding connections.
The port for the protective earth conductor is located in the motor’s
terminal box (1) and is intended for the electrical line and the electri-
cal connections.
Depending on the motor size, there are one or two equipotential
bonding connections attached to the motor housing (see Figs.
15/16, position “- EK” and Fig. 19 (2) (3)).
The gerotor pump unit must be connected to the equipotential
bonding of the main machine using the provided equipotential
bonding ports.
• Establish equipotential bonding using the provided equipotential
bonding ports (2) (3) to the main machine.
In case of terminal clamps with cable lugs, select their size according
to the required conductor cross-section and the bolt size. Installation
in a slanted position is permissible only if the required air and creep-
age distances are maintained.
Strip conductor ends so that the remaining insulation extends al-
most to the cable lug.
The current-carrying connection is ensured by direct contact be-
tween the cable lug surfaces and the contact nut or contact screw.

6.8 Lubrication line arrangement
When arranging the main lubricant lines and lubrication point lines,
observe the following instructions in order to ensure that the entire
centralized lubrication system functions smoothly.
To prevent cavitation and thus early failure of the gerotor pump unit,
ensure that the suction line is sufficiently large.
Only grounded steel tubing may be used.
The suction line and thus the suction performance should be kept
to a minimum and the admission pressure must not exceed max.
0.2 bar.
The main lubricant line must be dimensioned in accordance with the
maximum operating pressure occurring in the lubrication unit used
and the displacement of that lubrication unit. If possible, the main
lubricant line should rise upward from the gerotor pump and be
ventable at the highest point on the lubrication line system.
Lubricant feeders at the end of the main lubricant line must be in-
stalled such that the outlets of the lubricant feeders point upwards.
If the system configuration requires that the lubricant feeders be
arranged below the main lubricant line, they should not be placed at
the end of the main lubricant line.
The pipes, hoses, shutoff valves, directional control valves, fittings,
etc. that will be used must be designed for the maximum operating
pressure of the lubrication unit, the permissible temperatures, and
the lubricants that will be delivered. The lubrication line system also
needs to be protected from excessive pressure by means of a pres-
sure-limiting valve. The use of plastic tubing may cause electrostatic

EN

charges. Stainless steel tubing is recommended to achieve sufficient

equipotential bonding.
All components of the lubrication line system such as pipes, hoses,
shutoff valves, directional control valves, fittings, etc. must be care-
fully cleaned before assembly. No seals in the lubrication line sys-
tem should protrude inwards in a way that disrupts the flow of the
lubricant and could allow contaminants to enter the lubrication line
system.
WARNING
Environmental pollution
Lubrication lines must always be free of leaks. Lubricants
can contaminate soil and waterways. Lubricants must be
used and disposed of properly. Observe the local regula-
tions and laws regarding the disposal of lubricants.

Lubrication lines should always be arranged so that air pockets can-

not form anywhere. Avoid changes in the cross-section of the lubri-
cation line from small to large cross-sections in the direction of flow
of the lubricant. When the cross-section does change, the transition 6
should be gentle.

The flow of lubricant in the lubrication lines should not be impeded

by the incorporation of sharp bends, angle valves, or flap valves.
Unavoidable changes in the cross-section in lubrication lines must
have smooth transitions. Sudden changes of direction should be
avoided if possible.
6.9 Lubrication line connection
6.10 Note on the rating plate
)See Figure 19
The rating plate provides important data such as the type designa-
tion, order number, barcode, and serial number.

7.1 Commissioning
WARNING
To ensure safety and functionality, the person speci-
fied by the operator is required to inspect certain
areas of the centralized lubrication system prior to
initial commissioning. Any detected deficiencies must
be reported immediately to the supervisor and rem-
edied prior to initial commissioning.
The correction of deficiencies must be done exclu-
sively by a specialist in maintenance/servicing in po-
tentially explosive atmospheres.
No potentially explosive atmosphere may be present
during initial commissioning.
WARNING
Hazard due to excessively low or no lubricant
The gerotor pump unit may only be commissioned
and operated with an oil supply; the gerotor pump must
not run dry.
The lubricant fill level in the lubricant reservoir should be
subjected to visual inspection on a regular basis.
WARNING
Explosion hazard

9.1 Maintenance instructions
Careful and regular maintenance is required in order to detect and
remedy possibly malfunctions in time.
Note the following:
○ Only SKF Lubrication Systems Germany GmbH, Berlin Plant (see
masthead) or an ATEX specialist firm authorized by the Service
department of SKF Lubrication Systems Germany GmbH is al-
lowed to repair the gerotor pump unit.
○ Before recommissioning after a repair, check compliance with
the requirements of a conformity assessment body in accordance
with EC Directives 2014/34/EU and 99/92/EC.
○ Maintenance intervals for the gerotor pump unit must always
be determined by the system manufacturer/operator according
to the operating conditions and regularly reviewed and adapted
where necessary. SKF recommends continuous monitoring of the
parameters listed in the maintenance checklist.
○ A maintenance schedule must be drawn up for the safe operation
and long service life of the gerotor pump unit. This schedule must
ensure that the intended or permissible operating conditions and
parameters of the gerotor pump unit are observed during its
service life.
○ Changes in these parameters indicate wear, for example to the
electric motor, the coupling, or the pump. The cause must be im-
mediately determined and remedied.
○ The system/gerotor pump unit must be switched off in case of
changes beyond normal fluctuations in the intended operating
range.
○ Coupling parts should be replaced at least every 5 years. The
manufacturer's specifications should be given priority.
○ The deep groove ball bearings in the motor bearing assemblies
are sealed on both sides and pre-filled with grease as standard.
When installed horizontally and at an ambient temperature of
40°C, on 4- or more-pole motor this corresponds to a bearing
service life of 40,000 operating hours or a service life
of 20,000 operating hours on 2-pole motors. Before achieving
this
number of hours, the motor bearings or the motor should be re-
placed by SKF’s ATEX service.

Not all lubricants can be fed using centralized lubrication systems. SKF can, on request, inspect
the suitability of the lubricant selected by the user for pumping in centralized lubrication sys-
tems. Lubrication systems and their components manufactured by SKF are not approved for use
in conjunction with gases, liquefied gases, pressurized gases in solution, vapors, or such fluids
whose vapor pressure exceeds normal atmospheric pressure (1 013 mbar) by more than 0.5
bar at their maximum permissible temperature.
Hazardous materials of any kind, especially the materials classified as hazardous by CLP
Regulation EC 1272/2008, annex 1, parts 2-5, may be filled into SKF centralized lubrication
systems and components and delivered and/or distributed with the such systems and compo-
nents only after consulting with and obtaining written approval from SKF.
