Grease handles higher-speed applications

Kluberspeed BF 72-23 is a new high-speed lubricating grease that allows speeds factors as high as 2.3 million.

Greases put fewer demands on bearing design than oils.

However, in the past, greases have only been able to meet speed factors up to 1.3 million in high-speed applications like milling, grinding, turning and boring spindles, and at speeds exceeding this value oil-air lubrication has been used.

Kluberspeed BF 72-23 is a new high-speed lubricating grease that allows speeds factors as high as 2.3 million.

Owing to its consistency it is suitable for both horizontally and vertically mounted machine tool spindles.

Oil-air lubrication can now be replaced by grease lubrication in many cases, thus reducing equipment and handling costs.

Lower bearing temperatures during operation is another advantage of the new grease.

Consequently, the service life of Kluberspeed BF 72-23 is extended.

Lifetime lubrication or longer relubrication intervals ensure considerable cost savings.

Furthermore, reduced temperatures in high-speed bearings allow optimised machine design contributing to an even higher manufacturing quality.

Apart from machine tools, the new lubricating grease is also suitable for high-speed bearings in power tools or electric motors.
