Standard lubricants are increasingly reaching their limits – customised special products are being used more and more often. Whether as oil, solid lubricant in powder form, lubricating paste or as a coating. But what is behind these often very expensive “miracle weapons” of tribology?

In the seminar we will show you what is important in order to:

  • Transfer extreme mechanical loads to even the smallest surfaces
  • manage with minimal quantities
  • withstand extremely high or low temperatures
  • ensure reliable lubrication over the entire life cycle of a component
  • and often also reduce energy consumption and lower maintenance costs.

Following our event:

  • know the essential properties and possibilities of modern speciality lubricants
  • unerringly select the most suitable means in each case
  • can weigh up the costs and benefits of the products for a specific application
  • you are a competent dialogue partner for all aspects of special lubricants.

Target Group

  • OEM design engineers and lubricant managers
  • Technical consultants and sales staff from lubricant manufacturers
  • Skilled employees, managers and executives working in the field of service and maintenance
  • Technical experts
Seminar (2 days)

Content

Tribology and lubricants

  • Friction, wear and lubrication
  • The lubricating film under the magnifying glass
  • Lubrication under boundary, mixed and fluid friction

Specify standard lubricants

  • Oils in closed systems: Viscosity
  • Oils in open systems: Coolants and machining fluids
  • Lubricating greases for partially enclosed and open systems

Requirement profile of a speciality lubricant

  • Primary: Power transmission
  • Secondary: Interaction with the surfaces
  • Load, temperature, speed, environment

Speciality lubricant types

  • Liquid or pasty: Solid-based
  • Dry: powder, bonded coatings
  • Synthetic greases, without solid lubricants

Plain bearing

  • Hydrodynamic lubrication
  • Sintered bearing
  • Dry lubrication

Rolling bearings

  • Elasto-hydrodynamic lubrication
  • Oil lubricated
  • Grease lubrication

Gear wheels

  • Gear wheels
  • Open gearboxes
  • Special requirements of worm gearboxes

Special applications

  • Joints
  • Brakes
  • Screws
  • Others

Characteristic values and testing machines

  • Standardised tests
  • Simulate tribological requirements
  • Examples of component testing

Trends

  • Need for coatings due to continuous reduction of oil viscosity
  • Lifetime lubrication through special lubricants
  • Stagnating lubricant demand with simultaneous increase in energy consumption
