Versatile in the long term
April 26th 2007 Kluber has released a new special grease for long-term lubrication over a wide temperature range; for free-wheeling bearings, rolling bearings and linear guides.
Today's linear guide systems are expected to meet ever increasing requirements in terms of precision and repeatability, load bearing capacity and shock resistance, but also resistance to wear and media and a reduced need for maintenance. This calls for lubrication solutions offering improved performance.
The new synthetic special grease Klübersynth BM 44-42 was developed by Klüber Lubrication specifically for linear guides, free-wheeling bearings and rolling bearings operating to the stringent requirements mentioned above.
With its good adhesion to the friction point this special grease is predestined for long-term lubrication, even in open bearing applications or bearings with a rotating outer ring, where it reduces the need for maintenance considerably. The grease's low starting torque enables problem-free operation and lower energy consumption also a low temperatures. Its optimized oil release and special antiwear additives promise a longer component life.
Good compatibility with sealing materials and other lubricants as well as the grease's wide service temperature range from–40 to +140 °C, with peaks up to +180 °C, allow Klübersynth BM 44-42 to be used in a wide range of applications, also where reliable lifetime lubrication over a wide temperature range is required. Besides in linear guides, the product may be used in various automotive applications, i.e. wherever the idling and shifting of free-wheels or overrunning clutches involving rolling bearings is expected to take place reliably and with a minimum of wear – for example in brakes or other applications of the drive-by-wire technology.
