Designed to your requirements 3 The right oil for your application 4 The rolling bearing - One of the most important machine elements in the textile industry 8 Lubricants for spinning machines 10 Lubricants for synthetic fibre spinning machines 12 Textile machines and their components are subject to high stress. Constantly changing and often high loads, vibrations and varying operating conditions require tough equipment. External factors such as humidity and extreme temperature variations also play a role. Maintenance is an arduous task and is therefore carried out only at long intervals in many...

Gears play a vital role in all areas of the textile industry. To make production as efficient as possible, make sure you select the right gear oil for your application. You will find other useful advice below. For special applications, however, e.g. where very long service intervals are to be expected, or where operating conditions are very special, you should consult the experts from Kluber Lubrication. They will help you utilise all of your application's potential by using the ideal lubricant. For selecting the right oil for your gears, parameters such as performance, speeds, environmental...

Oil change: how it's done Normal oil change without changeover Oil-lubricated gears require an oil change from time to time since the oil changes its characteristics beyond limits due to the operating and ambient conditions, e.g. ageing, abrasion and contamination. The objective of the oil change is to ensure continued reliable lubrication. This is also the objective when replacing a gear oil that is basically still fit to use, but not under the prevailing operating conditions. When an oil change of this type is performed, some residual amount of old oil will always remain in the gearbox. In...

They may be designed as ball or roller bearings, radial or thrust bearings: what they all have in common is the transmission of load and power via rolling elements located between bearing rings. This is a simple and successful principle, at least as long as the contact surfaces remain separated. However, if the surfaces come into contact with one another, there can be trouble ahead: the resulting damage caused may be anything from light, hardly perceptible surface roughening, pronounced sliding and scratching marks, to extensive material transfer that may promote premature bearing failure - with...
