Kluber assists with friction reduction project
A
Kluber Lubrication GB product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team
Jul 8, 2009
A Midlands-based racing team recently instigated a friction reduction project to assess how they could reduce friction and drag to increase performance on the track.
Part of this project involved looking at lubrication and in particular the lubrication of wheel bearings.
The team wanted to assess the impact of changing to a high-performance synthetic grease.
Having assessed a number of wheel bearing greases, the racing team approached Kluber Lubrication.
After examining the application, the company put forward its low-torque, high-performance Asonic HQ 72-102 as a possible solution.
When filled with the Asonic HQ 72-102, the wheel bearings immediately rotated noticeably longer to standstill than with their previous racing-standard grease.
This showed that the Asonic HQ 72-102 was successfully reducing the internal friction within the bearing allowing it to rotate more freely.
By converting to Asonic HQ 72-102 the racing technicians reduced overall race times while at the same time improving the reliability of their wheel bearings.
