Kluber oils have proven to improve the load carrying capacity and efficiency of gear drives whilst showing cooler running and considerably longer service life compared to conventional mineral gear oils.
Gearboxes that are installed, maintained and lubricated correctly can give many years trouble free service yet even these show improved performance with Kluber synthetics - particularly in worm gear applications but also in spur, bevel and helical applications too.
Not every user has a preventive maintenance system and oil can reside in gearboxes for many years.
If it's got oil in it it's OK - wrong! Oil ageing costs money and may result in: * reduction of scuffing load capacity.
* tendency to pitting formation.
* unacceptable change in viscosity.
* increased wear.
* reduced corrosion protection.
* increase in release of free acids.
Enhanced by the Kluber KLASS oil analysis program users have seen for example a greater than 20 % reduction in on-load amps in worm conveyor gearboxes - multiplied out over numerous units this amounts to a considerable saving in power consumption.
* Synthetic mineral gear oil options.
* Food Grade and Biodegradable options.
* Approved by leading OEMs.
* Available internationally.
* Save energy and costs.
In worm / wheel gearbox (Compared to mineral gear oil) : * Increased efficiency (30 %).
* Lower temperature running (greater than 40degC).
* Decreased wear rate (greater than 80 %).
* Use less oil (up to five times less).
Approved and used by leading gearbox OEM's including SEW, David Brown, Nord, Rossi and Flender. Request a free brochure from Kluber Lubrication GB ...
