We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Lubricant",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Cages have bearing on performance and reliability from
Victrex USA, which we summarised at the time by saying "Polymer is chosen for bearing cages because of its combination of strength and flexibility, high operating temperatures, high chemical and wear resistance and ease of processing".
Earlier in the week,
we featured the news release Speed reducer handles caustic environments from
Boston Gear: "The stainless steel 700 series' integral input worm and shaft are made from high-strength, case-hardened alloy steel for long-lasting performance".
In January 2008, we covered the news from Gleaner Oils
concerning its Grease Safe
- take a look at Management system gets to grips with grease
which says: "Cartridge management system provides optimal storage and handling capabilities revolutionising the way organisations use lubricants in the work environment".
Take a look also at the news release from Rocol Lubricants, Demulsification oil resists constant moisture,
as well as Outsourced predictive maintenance makes sense from AV Technology,
and Compressor lubricant lasts 2000 hours from Batoyle Freedom Group.
