![]() ![]() They both can be used in extreme conditions, hot or cold, since they have been specifically formulated with a very high viscosity index. ![]() They are interchangeable in that they can be used for either wet or dry weather with virtually no downside, but they excel in their specified respective environment. We quizzed their scientists, studied countless research papers and read more MSDS's than can be imagined! After extensive compounding tests, we have comprised the exact combination of components we were looking for, resulting in the two formulations - one for Wet conditions and one for Dry. The Downhill Specialists on our Team have also confirmed increased roll speed & reduced servicing requirements with both the Dry and Wet formulations and these tests have been conducted throughout Europe and across the USA for the last year.Īs for the Science behind the formulations, we went to the best we know of when it comes to lubrication: Mobil. In races, the advantage can be more than enough to result in a win - which all three of our crew have proven time and time again! Additional testing was conducted in very wet conditions where the Wet Formulation has been proven to be extremely tenacious in repelling moisture. In long distance training, a lubricant's efficiency becomes readily apparent and is a huge factor in maintaining speed, conserving energy, and increasing the distance traveled. The main reason for this was their ability to quickly recognize and quantify what works and what does not work to reduce bearing friction as they endure literally thousands of miles of pushing pumping & coasting, with their bodies providing the propulsion, not gravity. When we got serious and started listing the qualities/performance we felt were missing, we knew we had to tap the Long Distance Specialists on our Team as our primary test crew - Andrew Andras, Kyle Yan and Harrison Tucker. Sealed or shielded/non-contact sealed bearings can't be lubed from the outside without removing a seal and often do not need to be in this sort of app, you're more likely to decrease the useful life of it by introducing particulates when servicing it.Kullager smörjning som får fart på dina kullager igen, använd 1-2 droppar per kullager.ĭeveloping a Bearing Lube for Skateboards has been on our agenda for a few years as we’ve never been completely satisfied with the lubes that were available. They almost never wear out nor wear the leadscrew. And if the nut is not acetal, why isn't it acetal? It should be acetal. Leadscrews should be run dry and CLEAN if the nut is acetal. I once heard something about viscosity/thickeners in linear bearings and skidding/scoring and hence recommendation to use oil instead of grease, but that seems to be not the case (?) on further investigation. Not many of those in printers but they are in other things that use grease to lube O-rings and such so good to be aware or just avoid having that product around and replace with ordinary red bearing grease. Also, Super Lube can mess with (swell) NBR seals. Super Lube is probably fine for the low load on 3D printer motion system constraints but the stuff is snake oil, use an actual legit EP grease. Silicone oil especially should be kept the flaming hell away from 3D printers! It is nearly impossible to clean/remove accidental contamination with it from, say, a bed surface. There is zero purpose to using greases with silicone or other weirdo base oil chemistries. I just use NLGI2 EP red bearing grease that I already have around for everything else. ![]() Not WD-40 anything.įar as I know most linear bearings specify grease.
