Automatic single-point lubricant dispensers Klübermatic FLEX and STAR
Automatic lubricators from Klüber Lubrication / Kluber Lubrication in the Klübermatic FLEX, NOVA, and STAR lines supply measured quantities of specialty greases directly into bearings and linear ways. Continuous delivery protects operating assemblies from lubricant starvation.
- Precise discharge timing adjustment ranging flexibly from 1 month up to 12 months
- Operating delivery pressure rated up to 25 bar for remote tubing line connections
- Electrochemical single-use drive units alongside reusable electromechanical drives
- Selection of adapter fittings, G1/4 connectors, and prefilled replacement cartridges
Selection of high-speed spindle greases in the ISOFLEX series via ndm speed factor
When engineering lubrication solutions for machine tool spindles across milling and turning centers, the ndm speed parameter serves as a primary calculation metric.
The ISOFLEX NBU 15 and LDS 18 Special A lubricant formulations from Klüber Lubrication / Kluber Lubrication operate continuously at speed factors reaching 1 000 000 mm/min.
This capability results from balanced synthetic ester base oil chemistry with 21 mm²/s viscosity at 40 °C combined with a barium complex soap matrix.
The thickener provides a stable internal framework that prevents centrifugal lubricant ejection while maintaining low dynamic friction torque throughout spindle acceleration cycles.
Application guidelines for high-temperature BARRIERTA greases based on PFPE and PTFE
High-temperature lubricants from Klüber Lubrication / Kluber Lubrication in the BARRIERTA L 55/2 series utilize perfluoropolyether (PFPE) base fluids thickened with fine PTFE particles.
High carbon-fluorine bond dissociation energy ensures thermal stability up to +260 °C across calenders, kiln trolleys, and film stretching machines.
Prior to applying BARRIERTA formulations, complete degreasing of contact surfaces with designated solvents is required, because residual hydrocarbon mineral oil traces impair metal surface wetting and cause accelerated breakdown of protective films under elevated thermal stresses.
Polyalkylene glycol and polyalphaolefin synthetic gear oils in the Klübersynth portfolio
Heavy-duty worm gearboxes, planetary drives, and bevel transmissions require substantial friction reduction across sliding tooth engagements.
Industrial synthetic oils from Klüber Lubrication / Kluber Lubrication in the Klübersynth GH 6 line feature polyalkylene glycol (PAG) chemistry with high natural polarity and a viscosity index surpassing 200 units.
This performance lowers oil bath operating temperatures by 10 to 15 °C compared to mineral lubricants while eliminating micropitting risks. When switching to Klübersynth oils, engineering teams verify compatibility with internal housing coatings and FKM seals.
Deployment of PARALIQ and Klübersynth UH1 lubricants carrying NSF H1 food registration
Automated packaging lines, beverage bottling machinery, dairy facilities, and pharmaceutical equipment expose lubrication points to hot cleaning agents and steam.
Lubricants from Klüber Lubrication / Kluber Lubrication in the PARALIQ GTE 703 and Klübersynth UH1 14-151 series hold official NSF H1 safety registrations. These products are cleared for lubrication points where incidental contact with food products may occur.
Formulated with high-purity synthetic hydrocarbons, they remain odorless, resist alkaline washdown chemicals, and maintain compatibility with elastomeric seals.
Antiwear and extreme-pressure tribological mechanism of MICROLUBE and CENTOPLEX greases
In rolling mills, eccentric stamping presses, and vibrating screens, equipment mechanisms endure heavy mechanical shock impacts and oscillating micro-movements that induce fretting corrosion.
Greases from Klüber Lubrication / Kluber Lubrication in the MICROLUBE GL 261 series incorporate specialized chemical additive complexes that react with steel friction zones under local contact pressures.
The generated tribochemical boundary layer prevents metallic adhesion, smoothes micro-roughness peaks, and distributes load evenly across rolling element surfaces.
Installation and programming of Klübermatic automated lubricant dispensing systems
Insufficient or excessive lubricant delivery can damage precision bearing assemblies: dry friction triggers surface scuffing, whereas overfilling causes churning heat and seal blowout.
Single-point and multi-point dispensers from Klüber Lubrication / Kluber Lubrication in the Klübermatic FLEX, NOVA, and STAR series deliver automated grease dosing across intervals from 1 to 12 months.
Electromechanical STAR drive units develop working pressures up to 25 bar, enabling remote mounting up to five meters away through flexible delivery lines.
