What does LAPA 45 mean?

The designation LAPA 45 identifies a specific SKF angle connector designed for automatic lubrication systems.

LAPA - SKF designation for this family of connection accessories.

45 - indicates a connection angle of 45 degrees.

The complete product designation:

LAPA 45 SKF

should be used for technical identification and ordering.

What is LAPA 45 SKF used for?

LAPA 45 enables the direction of a connection in a lubricant supply system to be changed by 45 degrees.

The connector is particularly useful where direct installation of an automatic lubricator or lubrication line in line with the lubrication point is difficult because of:

• limited installation space

• machine components

• protective guards

• location of the lubrication point

• inconvenient orientation of the existing connection

The 45-degree angle connector enables the connection direction to be changed without requiring major modification of the lubrication arrangement.

LAPA 45 in SKF automatic lubrication systems

LAPA 45 belongs to the range of accessories designed for SKF automatic lubricators.

SKF specifies this component as an accessory for systems including:

SKF SYSTEM 24 LAGD

SKF TLSD

SKF TLMR

The connector can be incorporated into a lubrication system to provide a more suitable orientation of the automatic lubricator or other system components relative to the machine lubrication point.

G 1/4 connections

LAPA 45 is part of the SKF accessory system using G 1/4 connections.

Before installation, the thread of the lubrication point and the threads of the other components in the system should be checked.

If the lubrication point has a different thread, suitable SKF connectors or adapters can be used to connect G 1/4 components to other common thread sizes.

Examples of SKF connection accessories include:

LAPN 1/8 - G 1/4 to G 1/8 connector

LAPN 1/4 - G 1/4 to G 1/4 connector

LAPN 1/2 - G 1/4 to G 1/2 connector

LAPN 3/8 - G 1/4 to G 3/8 connector

LAPN 6 - G 1/4 to M6 connector

LAPN 8 - G 1/4 to M8 connector

LAPN 10 - G 1/4 to M10 connector

LAPN 12 - G 1/4 to M12 connector

The exact adapter should always be selected according to the thread used at the lubrication point.

LAPA 45 vs LAPA 90

SKF offers two characteristic angle connector versions:

LAPA 45 - 45-degree angle connector

LAPA 90 - 90-degree angle connector

LAPA 45 changes the direction of the connection by 45 degrees, while LAPA 90 provides a 90-degree connection.

Selection depends primarily on machine geometry, available installation space and the position of the lubrication point.

The number 45 therefore does not indicate a product dimension. It identifies the connector angle.

LAPA 45 vs LAPE 35 and LAPE 50

LAPA and LAPE are different types of SKF lubrication accessories.

LAPA 45 - 45-degree angle connector

LAPA 90 - 90-degree angle connector

LAPE 35 - 35 mm extension

LAPE 50 - 50 mm extension

LAPA components are primarily used to change the direction of a connection, while LAPE components increase the distance between the lubrication point and the next component in the lubrication system.

Depending on the machine design, these accessories can be used to create a suitable automatic lubrication installation.

SKF SYSTEM 24 accessories

LAPA 45 forms part of the wider range of SKF automatic lubrication accessories.

This range includes components such as:

LAPA 45 - 45-degree angle connector

LAPA 90 - 90-degree angle connector

LAPE 35 - 35 mm extension

LAPE 50 - 50 mm extension

LAPM 2 - Y-connector

LAPG 1/4 - grease fitting G 1/4

LAPT 1000 - 1000 mm flexible tube

LAPN - connector and thread adapter range

LAPF - tube connection range

Correct selection of these components makes it possible to adapt an automatic lubricator installation to the machine design and location of the lubrication point.

Applications of LAPA 45

LAPA 45 can be used where the lubricant supply connection needs to be redirected by 45 degrees.

It can form part of automatic lubrication arrangements for:

bearings,

bearing housings,

guides,

joints,

chains,

machine components requiring periodic lubricant supply.

The final system configuration should always correspond to the lubrication requirements of the machine component and the SKF lubrication system being used.

Installation of LAPA 45 SKF

Before installation, check that the connector threads are compatible with the other components in the lubrication system.

Threaded connections should be installed in a manner that provides a properly sealed lubrication system.

A suitable thread sealing solution should be used where required by the installation.

The connector should also be positioned so that the automatic lubricator, tubing and other system components are not exposed to unnecessary mechanical stress.

Selection of LAPA 45 SKF

Before ordering, check:

• automatic lubricator designation

• lubrication system type

• connector thread

• lubrication point thread

• required connection angle

• available installation space

• lubrication tube routing

• other adapters used in the system

If a right-angle connection is required, LAPA 90 may be the appropriate component from the same accessory family.

If the lubricator only needs to be moved away from the lubrication point without changing the connection direction, an extension such as LAPE 35 or LAPE 50 may be more appropriate.
