SIMALUBE automatic lubricators
simalube is a Swiss single-point lubricator that replaces manual lubrication and ensures precise and continuous lubricant supply to hard-to-reach areas — even underwater. It supplies the lubricated point day after day, for up to a year. Activated by a simple twist, with an interval of 1–12 months, refillable up to 3 times, available in 5 sizes and 11 lubricant types.
Small size, big performance
The 15 ml version is the smallest automatic lubricator on the market — the perfect solution for extremely tight spaces where no other dispenser will fit. It works exactly the same and offers the same benefits as larger models, just in a miniature design.
Why choose a simalube automatic lubricator
- Space-saving due to compact dimensions
- For tight and hard-to-reach places
- For any location — even underwater
- Operating temperature −20 °C to +55 °C
- Many mounting options thanks to a wide range of accessories
- Freely selectable dispensing cycle of 1 to 12 months
- The cycle can be changed at any time
- Available pre-filled or empty for self-filling
- The lubricated point is supplied continuously
- No lubrication point is missed
- Operation by dry hydrogen cell - no battery or cables
- Can be refilled up to 3 times
- Easy disposal after the dosing cycle
- Does not contain toxic substances
Optimal dosing = savings of up to 30%
Continuous dosing reliably prevents under-lubrication and over-lubrication, which commonly occur with manual lubrication. The result is longer machine life, fewer unplanned downtimes, and lower overall maintenance costs - savings of up to 30%.
- Time savings and increased work safety due to less frequent maintenance
- Longer machine life and fewer unplanned interventions
- Lower lubricant consumption
What simalube will actually bring you
The grease gun depends on people, time, and memory. simalube dispenses on its own — continuously, precisely, and even where you can't safely reach with a gun.
- Saves maintenance time and personnel
- Increased work safety — fewer interventions on running machines and at heights
- Hard-to-reach places are lubricated permanently
- Lower lubricant consumption
Manual lubrication fluctuates between extremes — either there's too little lubricant (seized bearing), or too much (damaged seal, leakage, dirt). simalube maintains the precise dosage throughout the cycle.
- Reduced component wear
- Fewer unplanned downtimes
- Higher machine performance and reliability
The sealed construction with IP68 rating prevents lubricant mix-ups and the ingress of dirt into the lubricated point — it works even underwater.
- No lubricant mix-ups
- Lower risk of contamination
- The lubricated point remains clean
The simalube range is certified for demanding and explosive environments and complies with European and British regulations.
- Ex certification (ATEX) in all zones
- Increased workplace safety
- Recycling and disposal according to regulations — without burdening the environment
- CE and UKCA compliance

How the simalube automatic lubricator works
The simalube automatic lubricator is a single-point lubricant dispenser. After activation by turning the numbered screw, pressure is generated inside the cell (dry hydrogen fuel cell without battery), which evenly and continuously pushes the precise amount of lubricant directly to the lubricated point. The remaining amount is visible through the transparent inspection window, and dispensing can be stopped and restarted at any time. One dispenser thus replaces dozens of manual lubrication gun interventions — day after day, for up to a year.
Where automatic simalube lubricators are most applicable
- Difficult-to-access, hazardous, or easily overlooked lubrication points
- Electric motors, fans, pumps, conveyors, and drive chains
- Outdoor and wet environments — IP68 protection, works even underwater
- Food industry and pharmaceuticals — lubricant fill with NSF H1 registration
- Operations requiring Ex/ATEX environments (all zones)
- Construction, mobile, and agricultural machinery in fluctuating temperatures
How to choose the right lubricant for the automatic lubricator
The type of lubricated node and operating temperature are decisive. For standard rolling and plain bearings, choose the multi-purpose plastic grease SL01, for shock-loaded nodes SL02 with MoS₂, for high temperatures SL04 (up to +160 °C), for central lubrication systems liquid SL06, for chains series SL14/SL15, and for food industry SL10 or oil fill SL18 (NSF H1). A universal choice for outdoor equipment and fluctuating temperatures is SL24. If the machine specifies a particular lubricant, use the empty cartridge SL00 and fill it with your own lubricant.
Why switch from manual lubrication to automatic
Manual lubrication with a grease gun is irregular and depends on the human factor — it leads to insufficient lubrication (seized bearings, unplanned downtime) or over-lubrication (damaged seals, lubricant leakage, contamination). The simalube automatic lubricator dispenses evenly and continuously throughout the cycle, thereby extending bearing life, increasing work safety, and reducing total maintenance costs by up to 30%.
