Since changing oils, a oil and gas exploration company in the North Sea has improved lubricant life with no related mechanical problems and no downtime due to excessive servicing
Conductive grease cuts arcs from bearings
A novel electrically conductive grease can eliminate costly machine failure by prevention of electrical erosion bearing damage.
This trend poses a special challenge for the lubrication of such parts.
Due to the compatibility of plastics and certain lubricants, it is not always easy to achieve a perfect match and maintain the required low coefficient of friction.
But now Kluber has developed a special plastics-compatible high-temperature grease for the automotive industry.
Klubersynth HIP 84-401 is compatible with a variety of plastics and elastomers - even at temperature peaks up to 180C.
With Klubersynth HIP 84-401, excellent friction coefficients can be attained enabling small gear drives and constant velocity joints to operate with maximum efficiency, thereby reducing internal heat generation during the operation of the components.
This leads to increased reliability and a longer lifecycle for components.
The white, almost odour-free lubricating grease has a very low fogging value and reduces oscillation and vibration as well as excessive noise.
It can also compensate for tolerances.
All in all, components lubricated with Klubersynth HIP 84-401 offer a pleasant and high-quality switching feel.
This high-temperature grease has been specially designed for components such as constant velocity joints, small gears operating under high loads, control knobs, sliding rails, guide rails, fan flaps, air conditioning systems as well as for the dampening in car interiors and the gear shifting gate and last but not least the compensation of tolerances allowing a pleasant and high quality feel in movement.
