Grease for bearing surfaces and pneumatics
Grease for bearing surfaces and pneumatics
(OP)
I am trying to select a lubricant that will work well for both sealing a pneumatic bore and properly lubricating roller bearings or gib style bearing surfaces. We currently use Magnalube-G and have not been very impressed by it. We have gotten products back with a few million cycles on them that the Magnalube-G is all dried up. Another key issue is keeping the cost down. I know there are lubricants out there such as Krytox that work well in this situations but they are too expensive.
Thank you for any knowledge you can impart,

RE: Grease for bearing surfaces and pneumatics
Grease is oil held in a thickener, once the oil is gone all that is left is the thickener which is sticky and not a lubricant.
