The science of lubrication on your desktop...

Why not bring the science of lubrication right to your desktop and download the Klüber screensaver? The long version of the screensaver demonstrates how the four ball test rig operates while the short version displays the four welded balls removed from the test rig having been pushed to the limits and beyond.

The four ball tester is a DIN-standard test rig used to determine the welding load of lubricants. Only on passing the test successfully can an oil or grease claim to have Extreme Pressure characteristics (EP).

This four ball tester is just one of 79 test rigs at Klüber Lubrication München which are used to meticulously test all lubricants at every stage of their development. This means that oils, greases, pastes, waxes and emulsions are all put through their paces whether it's a new development, quality control, or even a special customer development project.

So if you are oil filling a gear or loading grease into a bearing, you can always be assured that the product characteristics stated by Klüber have been thoroughly tried and tested.
