Hydro Lubricant Combines High Performance and Sustainability
For high speed spur, bevel and planetary gears, Klübersustain GW 0-460 gear lubricant from Klüber Lubrication uses water as a functional component in a specialty formulation to solve demanding performance, energy and environmental challenges.
Posted: January 13, 2019
Klübersustain GW 0-460 is the first high performance gear lubricant from Klüber Lubrication NA LP (Londonderry, NH) in their pioneering Hydro Lubricant series that uses water as a base fluid. New hydro lubricants from Klüber are revolutionizing the industry. Using water as a functional component in specialty lubricant formulation has the potential to solve demanding performance, energy and environmental challenges. Since it takes on beneficial properties of water, this sustainable lubricant opens new application opportunities for manufacturers and operators. Its excellent cooling characteristics reduce operating temperatures. This, paired with its remarkable superlubricity, improves energy efficiency to meet the growing requirements and increasing power density of modern gears.
Specifically developed for high speed spur, bevel and planetary gears, this lubricant can also be used to lubricate rolling bearings. It has a low foaming tendency that ensures continuous operation. Its electric conductivity protects gearbox components against electro-corrosion, and its good viscosity-temperature behavior enables reliable lubricant film formation across the whole service temperature range.
