Heavy-duty grease for highly loaded rolling bearings operating at low speeds

Klüberlub BE 41-1501 is designed to meet the requirements of rolling bearings subjected to extreme conditions. The appropriate combination of base oil and additives enables improved wear protection. FAG FE 8 tests have confirmed the effectiveness of Klüberlub BE 41- 1501 under these conditions and it is approved by various bearing manufacturers, e.g. FAG, to be used for applications in low-speed rolling bearings subjected to very high loads and shocks, for example in roller presses and bowl mill crushers.

Application areas
Klüberlub BE 41-1501 was developed for highly loaded large rolling bearings running at low speeds as well as toothed gear systems such as industrial and rail traction gear couplings. Typical applications and requirements include spherical roller bearings in roller presses, bowl mill crushers and rotary crushers in the mining and base materials industries. The operating conditions of roller bearings require use of a heavy-duty grease with high base oil viscosity with suitability for the following conditions:
• Low speed, n = 10-30 rpm
• High load, P/C = 0.25 – 0.50
• Bearing temperature approx. 50-70 °C
• Shock loading and vibration
Owing to its excellent lubricating properties, Klüberlub BE 41-1501 can also be used successfully for the lubrication of pivoting bearings, plain bearings and industrial gear couplings.

KLÜBERLUB BE 41-1501 – RELIABLE SOLUTION FOR HEAVY INDUSTRY LUBRICATION
Klüberlub BE 41-1501 is the perfect solution in heavy industries like cement and steel manufacturing. During high levels of oscillation and friction, If the lubricating film becomes adversely stressed under extreme conditions, the solid lubricants MoS2 and graphite contained in Klüberlub BE 41-1501 ensure excellent emergency lubricating properties providing additional reliability in the event of starved lubrication. The product also provides good corrosion protection and is compatible with seals, e.g. made of NBR elastomers.

LEADING CEMENT PLANT DISCOVERS LONG-TERM LUBRICATION SOLUTION IN KLÜBERLUB BE 41-1501 – A CASE STUDY
At one of India’s leading large-scale cement manufacturing plants, their KHD roller press (size RP 16) had been in in operation since April 2004.
The grease used for lubricating the roller press bearings was that which was supplied by the machine manufacturer along with the machine. However, in 2006 the roller press tripped owing to high bearing temperature of the moving roller non-drive end bearing. Upon investigation following the dismantling of the machine, it was observed that the grease flow was well below desired levels, with just minimal traces of grease at some places. The bearing failure was attributed to a lack of proper lubrication.
This is when the team of experts from Klüber Lubrication stepped in to come up with a quick and enduring solution to solve the issue. After rigorous tests and trials, the team arrived at the conclusion that the solution lay in using a premium grade lubricating grease. Klüberlub BE 41-1501 has a base oil viscosity of 1500 cSt which is 1.5 times higher than the existing product. It is a NLGI Grade 1 grease which means that it has a higher oil content than NLGI grade 2 greases. The higher viscosity in combination with the NLGI 1 grade, makes for a better and more stable lubricant film, ensuring better protection for the bearing.
The results were expectedly positive. Upon switching to Klüberlub BE 41-1501, for lubricating the roller press bearings, the outcome was evident. Not only did the temperatures of the bearings reduce significantly (about 50°C), so did the sound and vibration levels.
Buoyed by the outcome, our client currently uses Klüberlub BE 41-1501 for all their operating roller presses.

The need of present time is stronger buildings, industrial or common utility buildings, such as Malls, Railway stations, hospitals, offices, bridges etc. For this, there is need of long durable, tough and stable concrete, which could stand under normal and seismic conditions. Tough railway bridges are required for bullet trains to pass without any damage. Railway tunnels, sea-links, coastal roads, bridges and multistorey buildings, are the need of the hour. The question comes, is the normal cement called OPC is sufficient to take care of such requirements or better combination of cements and sand mixtures is required?

Introduction

A good stable building structure can be made with a good quality of cement+sand+water system. Its quality can be enhanced by keeping the density of admixture higher (varies from 30 in normal buildings to bridges etc to 80). Further enhancement in the properties of various cements admixtures is made by adding several additives which give additional strength, waterproofing, flexibility etc. These are called construction chemicals…
