Lubricating Compound enables Long , Maintenance-free Service Life of Roller Bearings
Particular requirements and environments require special solutions . LUBCON Turmocomp HD 150 is a lubrication concept enabling effective lubrication of roller bearings even in complex operating conditions . The lubricating compound is a composition of ultrahigh molecular polymers and synthetic , temperature-stable base oils . For application in the food industry , H1-approved lubricants are used . In order to protect roller bearings against extreme operating influences such as dust and humidity , the hollow cavities are fully filled with LUBCON Turmocomp HD 150 . This compound is suitable for almost any geometry of roller bearings . Bearings lubricated with LUBCON Turmocomp HD 150 can effectively be used at lubrication points where conventional greases or oils fail to provide long lasting and sufficient lubricity due to technical or environmental reasons .
