Can Marine gears and wire cables be fixed with a single grease?

Ship decks and underwater machinery are always exposed to the harshest Marine environments and are essential to ship operations and safety. Maintaining them from corrosion, wear and tear is our top priority, while keeping expenses low. The cable drive gear and the rotary gear of the crane used in ships and ports are subjected to extreme stresses, and these open gears must be well protected in the extreme environments of sailing. The Marine environment may be very suitable for people to vacation, but for equipment components, high humidity, high temperature sea breeze and occasionally accompanied by small droplets and large waves can pose a huge challenge to their normal operation. Therefore, lubricants for open gears need to meet the requirements of extreme conditions: the lubricant cannot drip or be washed away by seawater, otherwise the tooth surface will lose lubrication protection. This will cause wear and corrosion of the gear, eventually leading to failure.

What provides the most reliable protection for transmission gears and wire cables? Is a good adhesion lubricant! It adheres firmly to the gear and cable surface without dripping, providing excellent lubrication and corrosion protection for the tooth surface. This type of lubricant also extends the re-lubrication interval and significantly reduces the amount of lubricant used. In practical applications, the appearance of the lubricant is also very important. Early open gear lubricants were black because they contained graphite, which dropped on the deck and immediately turned into black stains, requiring regular cleaning, which was time-consuming and laborious.

In the usual work encountered customers in order to lubricate wire cables, open gears, axle bearings selected three different types of grease, in this case, increase the type of grease used on the ship, due to the increase in the type of grease, it is easy to make the operator the corresponding lubrication products confused, causing unnecessary trouble.

This requires a multi-functional special grease that can withstand severe tests under actual working conditions:

Operating temperature range from -10°C to 150°C

It can be used in tropical areas and won't drip from wire cables and gears

Suitable for lubricating open gears, low speed rolling bearings, rails and guides, steel cables for winches or cranes, and similar parts affected by sea water in the Marine industry, reducing the number of grease types on board.

Corrosion and lubrication properties will not change even if placed for a long time.

Light-colored lubricants are easy to remove.

The re-lubrication cycle can be extended, which significantly reduces lubricant consumption and reduces costs.

Significantly improve the reliability and prolong the service life of gears and bearings and wire cables.

Reduce lubricant consumption and operating costs through excellent adhesion and water resistance of lubrication products.

It can also extend the lubrication cycle from every 2-3 months to every 5-6 months, reducing consumption by up to 3 times, saving costs and improving performance, thus ensuring the safe and smooth operation of the ship's important equipment.
