Proper bearing lubrication is the key to reliable operation of industrial equipment. Lubsolid, the solid lubrication technology developed by NTN-SNR, sets a new benchmark in this area, especially in environments where conventional lubrication solutions are inefficient or not applicable.
What is solid lubrication?
Solid lubrication revolutionises the way bearings work. In this technology, the lubricant is integrated into a solid matrix (polymeric material) that fills the entire internal space of the bearing. The polymer matrix acts as a structure that retains, distributes and re-absorbs the lubricant like a sponge. The lubricant is gradually released under the pressure of the rolling elements, ensuring continuous and uniform lubrication. The solid consistency prevents the lubricant from splashing out and is thus continuously distributed to all rolling elements.
The advantages of solid lubrication
- Durable performance
Solid lubrication reduces the chance of lubrication failures and extends bearing life by preventing lubricant leakage and contamination. - Minimal maintenance required
No re-lubrication is required, saving not only time but also maintenance costs. - Protection against contamination
The solid matrix seals the internal structure of the bearing, preventing dust, moisture and other contaminants from entering. - Environmentally friendly solution
Less leakage and contamination compared to conventional lubricants, contributing to more sustainable industrial operations.
