Applications
Ensuring the right lubricant is matched to a specific application is vital for productivity, minimising downtime and prolonging asset life.
Bearings
Speccing a lube for a bearing involves assessing all operating conditions including bearing spec, dimensions, type (e.g. spherical, roller, plain bush), operating temperature, rotational speed...
Open Gears & Gearboxes
Exhibit challenging tribological conditions - skidding and scuffing of gear teeth, often highly loaded and operating at elevated temperatures can lead to lubrication starvation, and...
Hydraulics
Key considerations with hydraulics are effective lubrication of main components typically pump vane tips, piston interfaces, or gear teeth. Selected fluid also needs to exhibit...
Threaded Fasteners
Lubrication required for torque reduction during initial assembly, prevention of thread-galling, and long-term effectiveness come disassembly time. Additional considerations such as corrosion protection, sealing properties,...
Conveyors & Conveyor Chains
Transportation and drive-chains have particular lubrication requirements which are easily overlooked, or misunderstood. The key surface for a lube to access is the pin-bush interface....
Valves & Fittings
Reduced friction and material compatibility are essential requirements for effective valve lubrication. Many systems are used for processing reactive or corrosive process media and Krytox...
Compressors
Be it gas displacement or generation of vacuum, GBR Technology has the knowledge and experience to specify high quality vacuum and compressor lubes according to...
Oxygen Service
When processing O2 levels greater than 42%, use of hydrocarbon-based lubricants must be avoided to eliminate the risk of fire or explosion. PPFE provides the...
High Temperature Lubricants
‘High temperature’ is essential to define. Determining the actual operating and surface temperature of the lubricated surfaces is crucial taking into account any cycling, and...
Low Temperature Lubricants
Oils viscosity and grease stiffness become particularly relevant at sub-zero operating temperatures. Too viscous, and components will drag, or skid resulting in premature wear, or...
Food Lubricant Applications
There is a wide range of NSF H1 accredited oils and greases available. The oils and greases available are for bearing, valve, chain, hydraulics and...
