Coolants & Lubrication Systems

Klüber Lubrication introduces HYDROKAPILLA NBU 20 HFE US for the lubrication of plain and rolling bearings, and chains. HYDROKAPILLA NBU 20 HFE US is designed for applications that experience high humidity and/or aggressive media.

Cortec R&D has developed an enhanced reformulation of VpCI-340 CLP for cleaning, lubricating, and protecting purposes. The upgraded formula has undergone extreme testing to ensure top-quality product performance geared toward the demands of military standards, the company reports.

Users in research and industry increasingly rely on dry and robust vacuum solutions, which will also provide flexibility of use. With the modernized, air-cooled SCROLLVAC plus, Leybold offers a new uncomplicated, reliable fore vacuum pump, which exactly meets this requirement profile.

Klüber Lubrication introduces Klüberquiet BQ 72-72, a low-noise rolling bearing grease for long-term lubrication. The low-noise characteristic of this grease makes it suitable for applications that include rolling bearings in electric motors, fans, air conditioners, generators and belt tighteners in cars, electric household appliances and office equipment.

What would cause parts manufacturers not to want to extend tool life, increase speeds and feeds, enhance chip evacuation to avoid recutting, impart finer surface finishes and eliminate pecking when deep-hole drilling? Apparently, ignorance in the marketplace.

Birchwood Technologies offers a full line of water-based and solvent-based inhibitors and sealants to prevent rust and corrosion on all metal surfaces. Birchwood Technologies rust preventative and corrosion inhibiting products enable selection according to needs for lubricity, dryness and decorative appeal.

Grinding is a thermally dominated process, meaning a high percentage of process heat initially enters the part before coolant quenches it. Unless the coolant is applied at the correct flow rate and pressure, and the proper input conditions are selected, this process can lead to undesirable rehardening burn, thermal softening and tensile residual stresses.

Wanner Engineering Inc. and ChipBlaster Inc. provide some insight into the effectiveness of high-pressure coolant to prolong tool life and eliminate heat damage. Cutting Tool Engineering produced this report based on informational videos submitted by ChipBlaster and Wanner Engineering.

Two years after it was first introduced to the metalworking market, Henkel's innovative Bonderite duaLCys process has proven its superior cost-efficiency and sustainability over conventional cooling lubrication and cleaning processes. Bonderite duaLCys is part of Henkel's comprehensive portfolio of process solutions for the metalworking industry that can be tailored to the precise needs of customers across their entire value chain from casting and machining to assembly.

Removing coolant that naturally accumulates in a chip hopper enables longer production runs, eliminates messy cleanouts and reduces coolant costs. A new venturi pump kit from LNS makes the process of removing coolant from chip hoppers virtually effortless.
