Speciality Grease

When it comes to combinations of materials – such as sealing rings and lubricants – one important factor is polarity. This is a basic property of every material, including every elastomer and every lubricant, and provides information about their solubility. To put it simply, like dissolves in like. This is particularly important in the case of lubricating greases, as the lubricant’s behavior is either polar (eg polyalkylene glycol) or non-polar (eg synthetic polyalphaolefins), depending on the base oil. A lubricant with similar polarity causes sealing materials to swell and destroy them over time.

This and other information was relayed to the responsible design engineer, along with clear recommendations for sealing materials and a compatible lubricant. The resulting adjustments while still at the pre-series stage meant it was possible to avoid costly corrections or even damage during series production.
