Car component life extended with special grease
A
Kluber Lubrication GB product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team
Dec 11, 2006
Absolute reliability of performance is a must for any safety related component in cars and this requirement extends to the lubricants they contain
Developing a lubricant for future oriented technologies - one that meets expectations like 20 years of service life, thermal stability up to 180C, with still much higher peaks, as well as an excellent pressure absorption capacity, poses quite a challenge in a sector of industry where pricing is also a sensitive issue.
With Klubersynth BR 46-82, Kluber Lubrication has overcome the gap between seemingly irreconcilable objectives: a powerful low- and high-temperature grease for drive by wire components in cars.
The silicone free special grease can cope with permanent temperatures of 180C, and short term peaks up to 250C, while also ensuring smooth running at temperatures far below zero.
Further characteristics of this newly developed product are good wear protection in steel/steel friction pairings, compatibility with EPDM and miscibility with brake fluids.
Klubersynth BR 46-82 is therefore a first choice product when it comes to the long term lubrication of numerous components such as ball screws, rolling bearings, vertically mounted needle bearings and gears.
It allows several lube points of a component like the brake unit to be made fit for the future with a single grease.
