High-performance lubricant for universal joint shafts
High-performance lubricant for universal joint shafts Voith development engineers have combined their universal joint shaft know-how with the tribology know-how of renowned bearing and lubricant manufacturers. The result of this cooperation is an innovative and exclusive lubricant with properties that far exceed those of conventional lubricants. This lubricant gives bearings in universal joint shafts operating at low speeds and under high loads an even longer service life. In addition, lubrication intervals can be extended and emergency dry-running characteristics are improved significantly.

- Exceptional corrosion protection
- Maximum ability to withstand pressure
- Optimum and long-lasting lubricating action
- Can be mixed with lithium-based greases
- High resistance to aging
- Excellent compatibility with all bearing components
- Contains no silicone and copper-based ingredients
Benefits
- Lubricating fi lm even in the event of underlubrication
- Formulated for oscillating bearing motion
- Ideal for rolling mills
- Hydrodynamic lubricating fi lm even under maximum torque conditions
- Minimal abrasive wear in the bearing
- Extended lubrication intervals
- Lower maintenance costs
- Simple conversion to Voith's high-performance lubricant
- Long shelf life
- No softening of bearing seals
- Does not corrode nonferrous metals
- Suitable for aluminum rolling mills
