Fit for the future
Longer automotive component life attained with new special grease

Absolute reliability of performance is a must for any safety-related component in cars. This requirement does of course extend to the lubricants they contain. Developing a lubricant for future-oriented technologies, i.e. one that meets expectations like 20 years of service life, thermal stability up to 180 °C, with still much higher peaks, as well as an excellent pressure absorption capacity, poses quite a challenge in a sector of industry where pricing is also a sensitive issue. With Klübersynth BR 46-82, Klüber Lubrication has overcome the gap between seemingly irreconcilable objectives: a powerful low- and high-temperature grease for drive-by-wire components in cars.

The silicone-free special grease can cope with permanent temperatures of 180 °C, and short-term peaks up to 250 °C, while also ensuring smooth running at temperatures far below zero. Further characteristics of this newly developed product are good wear protection in steel/steel friction pairings, compatibility with EPDM and miscibility with brake fluids. Klübersynth BR 46-82 is therefore a first-choice product when it comes to the long-term lubrication of numerous components such as ball screws, rolling bearings, vertically mounted needle bearings and gears. It allows several lube points of a component like the brake unit to be made fit for the future with a single grease.
