Lubricants, Cleaning Agents, Adhesives

Did you know that more than 80% of all rolling bearings are lubricated with grease and that inadequate lubrication causes more than 40% of all cases of rolling bearing damage?

The principal purpose of the lubricant is to control friction and wear. It achieves this by the introduction of a thin lubricant film between the rolling element and ring. Thin fluid film separate these surface, which is subjected to elastic deformation under the extremely high, concentrated, contact pressures. The lubricant film thickness in the bearing should, ideally, be sufficient to completely separate the bearing components. However, this is not always possible. Lubricant also should protect against corrosion, seal (grease) against impurities and carry away excess heat (circulatory oil systems).

FAG`s Arcanol programme consists of fourteen greases which cover nearly all fields of application in an optimum manner. With Arcanol you can buy some extra safety as FAG selects only the best from a number of good greases in a series of tests.

Olma is Slovenian producer of industrial lubricants and coolants for metal working. Their wide production programme covers almost all industrial demands. We can offer metal working and metal forming fluids, anticorrosive agents, heat treatment oils, greases, hydraulic, motor and gear oils.

Loctite are a brand of adhesives used as threadlockers, to prevent screws and bolts from loosening, more effectively than a locking washer alone could. It is an anaerobic adhesive that’s based on methacrylate.

Loctite comes in different grades of strength, to suit the particular application:

• Blue Removable No. 242 – Used for things you may want to unscrew with minimal hassle. It cures into a brittle, glassy bond that takes one good twist to break, but removes cleanly after that. Preferably to be used with Valve Covers, Water Pumps and Oil Pan Bolts.
• Red High-Strength No. 271 – Used on things that you don’t want to take apart for a long time. It requires heat from a torch or iron (to 500° F) to loosen its grip. It cures into a thicker, sticky bond that holds up better against vibration and shocks. Preferably to be used with automotive and mechanical operation such as nuts and bolts on Cars, Motorbikes, Ski-doo’s and Boats.
• Green – penetrating grade for use on parts that have already been assembled.
