The NPE-free Klüber needle oils
reduce the operating temperatures
and protect against wear and corro-
sion of the stitch-forming elements,
thus reducing maintenance costs of
production machines. They are scour-
able and neutral towards elastane
fibres and elastomers. Klüber needle
oils have been tested and approved
by knitting machine manufacturers
worldwide. For instance, they are used
for initial lubrication by Mayer & Cie.,
Terrot, Stoll and Lonati.
Relubrication is usually necessary only
once a week and looping of the thread
is avoided in Jacquard equipment.

Long-term lubricated bearings have a different design requiring lower relubrication quantities. Alternative for long-term lubrica-tion: Klübertemp HM 83-402
For oil lubrication: HOTEMP PLUS
Separating effect on condensates and, consequently, less build-up of residues. Efficient lubrication of the chain links, rolling bearings and slide rails under varying operating condi-tions (speed, temperature, stretching tension). Low power consumption with practically wear-free operation
Synthetic sliding surfaces on stenter chains with special lubricant require-ments in terms of evaporation, forma-tion of residues, regenerative capacity, friction and wetting behaviour resulted in the development of Klübersynth CTH 2-260.

special recommendation:
UNISILKON L 50/2
Klübersynth GH 6 oils
Fully synthetic high-temperature
oils with good viscosity-tempera-
ture characteristics
Largely prevents the build-up of lint
and contamination. Consequently,
easy and accurate width adjustment is
possible requiring comparatively little
maintenance.
MOLYBKOMBIN UMF T 4 – SPRAY is
ideal in workshops for assembly pur-
poses, e.g. screwed connections and
bearing seats.
Protects against seizure, especially at
high temperatures.
Can be delivered through oil pumps
and pipe systems, also at room tem-
perature. At higher temperatures up
to 150 °C or short peaks up to 180 °C
(maximum film temperature 225 °C)
Klübersynth GH 6 oils have a higher
operational viscosity than mineral oils
of a similar ISO viscosity grade and
fulfil the demands for the required full
fluid-film lubrication.
To suit the recommendations
of machine manufacturers
Klübersynth GH 6 oils are available in
all common ISO viscosity grades.
ISO viscosity grades 220, 460 and

The optimum choice for gear lubrication in
weaving machines if long oil life is desired.
Approvals by several manufacturers, e.g.
by Promatech Type VAMATEX for
Klübersynth 100 KV, Klübersynth 50 KV
and by Promatech Type SOMET for
Klübersynth G 4-130 (for relubrication)

Klübersynth GH 6 oils
High-performance gear oils on a
PG basis
Alternatively:
Klübersynth GEM ... 4N oils
(see above)
or
STRUCTOVIS BHD MF
Klübersynth GH 6 oils have an excel-
lent friction behaviour. They reduce
gear temperatures considerably and
increase gear efficiency by more than
25 %. Owing to their special additives
they reduce wear substantially, espe-
cially on materials that are typically
used for worm gears. Oil change inter-
vals are at least five times longer than
those of mineral oils.
STRUCTOVIS BHD MF is an intrinsi-
cally viscous long-term and high-tem-
perature lubricant. It contains solid
lubricant particles and is especially
suitable for worm gear drives of width
adjustment spindles.
Klübersynth GH 6 oils are available
in all common ISO viscosity grades.
They are not miscible with mineral oils
or oils on a PAO basis. We recom-
mend testing compatibility with seal-
ing materials, paints and inspection
glass.
Klüberquiet BQH 72-101, BQ 72-72
for long-term and lifetime lubrica-
tion mostly of rolling bearings that
do not allow relubrication running
at > 100 °C and high speeds
For rolling bearings that can be relubricated:
PETAMO GHY 132 N orPETAMO GY 193
Klüberquiet greases are characterized
by a wider service temperature range
and an extremely high resistance to
temperature and speed.
At high temperatures, runtimes
> 4000 hours are possible without
relubrication
Klüberquiet greases meet most
requirements to be satisfied by
today’s rolling bearing lubricants.
Our tried-and-tested greases
STABURAGS N 12 MF and
STABURAGS NBU 8 EP continue to
be good choices for many applica-
tions.

Example Machine / Component Lubrication Problem / Requirements Recommended Lubricants Advantages / Benefits Notes
Rotary screw compres-sor
High operating temperatures leading to rapid oil
ageing through oxidation, and short oil change
intervals
Cleaning of rotary screw and rotary vane com-pressors
Deposits due to pronounced oxidation especially of
mineral-oil-based products
This will inevitably lead to contamination of the
new oil fill unless the compressor is cleaned during
changeover.

Klüber Summit SH oils
High-performance compressor oils
on a PAO basis
Clean compressor thanks to good
oxidation stability
Oil change intervals at least three
times longer than those of mineral oils
When changing over from mineral oils,
energy cost cuttings by 3 to 5% are
possible.
Klüber Summit SH oils are available in all
common viscosity grades. Compatibility
with seals and paints should be tested.

Concentrated compressor
conditioner
Klüber Summit VARNASOLV
Concentrated conditioner for cleaning
rotary screw and rotary vane compres-
sors, especially when changing over
from mineral-oil-based products to the
synthetic Klüber Summit DSL or SH oil
Klüber Summit VARNASOLV is added
to the oil fill at a concentration of 10 %
and should remain in the compressor
for 40 to 60 operating hours.
Then drain the compressor while the
oil is still hot.
When used at a concentration of
10 %, VARNASOLV is compatible
with all materials resistant to mineral
oil.
The oil ageing condition can be visu-
ally inspected (preferably before oil
change) by means of the
Klüber Summit TAN kit.
