Grease lubricants tackle heavy duties

Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team May 8, 2006

Finally someone has formulated a family of grease lubricants that can reliably handle the highly loaded, large gear-driven drives and roller-bearing systems that require grease lubrication.

Finally someone has formulated a family of grease lubricants that can reliably handle the highly loaded, large gear-driven drives and roller-bearing systems that require grease lubrication.

The new lubricants have been used to increase the service life of 10,000 to 20,000hp gear-driven spindles by 1000% and to reduce the friction coefficient by 25%.

The service life of high-temperature, highly loaded roller bearings has been increased upwards of an order of magnitude.

These lubricants have been formulated expressly for the heavy industry and embody an entirely new, space-age technology.

They are now in service in the steel industry.
