Lincoln

Over a Century of Lubrication Innovation

Lincoln Industrial has been at the forefront of lubrication technology since its founding in 1910 in St. Louis, Missouri. What started as a small manufacturing venture quickly evolved into one of the most influential names in fluid control and lubrication systems. Today, as a subsidiary of SKF, Lincoln Industrial continues to honor a legacy built on engineering precision, durability, and a deep understanding of what keeps machinery running.

The company's roots in the automotive age are no accident. As car ownership surged in the early twentieth century, demand for reliable vehicle maintenance solutions followed. Lincoln responded by pioneering some of the first commercial grease guns and automated lubrication devices, helping define the very standards of modern lubrication practice. Their innovations — from the original Lubrigun to the springless air motor design — shaped how service stations, factories, and fleet operators approached equipment care for generations.

What Lincoln Industrial Makes

Lincoln's product lineup spans manual and automated lubrication equipment designed for environments ranging from small repair garages to large-scale industrial facilities. Their grease pumps are among the most recognized in the industry, with the long-running Series 20 air-operated pump still widely used in both automotive and industrial markets. The PowerMaster and PileDriver pump series handle heavy-duty applications where high-viscosity lubricants and extreme pressures are the norm.

For shops and fleet operators who need portability and convenience, Lincoln's PowerLuber line of battery-powered and pneumatic grease guns delivers professional-grade performance on the go. These tools are designed for one-hand operation and are built to generate the high pressures needed to service even stubborn or hard-to-reach grease fittings. Complementing the guns is a full suite of grease fittings, couplers, hose reels, and fluid control accessories that make it easy to assemble a complete lubrication station.

On the automated side, Lincoln's Quicklub and Centro-Matic centralized lubrication systems can service dozens — or even hundreds — of lubrication points automatically, reducing manual labor and the risk of under- or over-lubrication. These systems are widely used in construction equipment, agricultural machinery, over-the-road trucks, and manufacturing lines where consistent lubrication is critical to uptime and equipment longevity.

Markets Served

Lincoln Industrial's product range serves a broad cross-section of industries. Automotive service professionals rely on their grease guns, lube meters, hose reels, and fluid handling equipment to keep service bays efficient. Off-road and heavy-equipment operators count on centralized lube systems to protect expensive bearings and pivot points in harsh, abrasive conditions. Industrial facilities use Lincoln's diaphragm pumps, oil fluid pumps, and automated systems to reduce maintenance costs and extend machine life.
