LUBRICANTS
Bearing Lubricants for Electro-Mechanical Industry
Regardless of the application, reliability of the apparatus is dependent upon accurate lubrication. Applying proper bearing lubricants reduces friction between the sliding surfaces and prevents metal to metal contact while protecting the components from oxidization and corrosion. Over 50 % of all bearing failures are attributed to improper or contaminated lubrication. Over lubricating can be as problematic as under lubricating, both leading to premature failure. Avoid mixing lubricants as compatibility issues can be very challenging. Bartlett Bearing Company, Inc. supplies a variety of premium bearing lubricants, grease and sealant products.
Bearing Lubricants & Sealant Products
Mobil Polyrex EM
Super-premium Mobil Polyrex EM Series grease is specially formulated for electric-motor bearings. The advanced thickener formulation and proprietary manufacturing techniques provide improved bearing performance and protection for long electric motor life. Good for ball and cylindrical roller bearing applications.
Aqua Shield
Aqua Shield is a multi-purpose lubricant and sealant that is compounded specifically to cling to metal and O-ring surfaces. It provides long term lubrication and prevents corrosion. It is designed to seal out water and contaminants. Aqua Shield is particularly effective on bearings, water pumps, O-rings, gaskets, water filters, motors and valves that must operate in hot or cold water, steam, pool chemicals or salt water.
