Most of our work is carried out on a confidential basis or under NDA agreements as our lubricants and chemicals are utilised inside other manufacturers device/end products; but we always try to publish case studies in order to highlight the variety of industry sectors and applications we are involved in.
Below are some of the case studies we have managed to pull together. We are always interested in collaborating with customers to ‘problem solve’ their device or design problem. If you are interested in providing some pictures or a video in return for a free sample of product, please get in contact with us using the contact page on this website.
A satisfied customer sent us some footage of how a damping grease improved the performance and characteristics of their radio controller, specifically the small joy sticks or rather the two axis gimbal. Damping grease has a number of uses but often is utilised as a grease is a cost effective…
ATVs endure harsh conditions, which put the machine and individual components to the test. The electrical components on an ATV are chosen for their durability and often are protected by Ingress Protection (IP) rated enclosures. Given enough time, it’s likely that with enough water, salt, dust, dirt, thermo cycling and…
eBikes are growing in popularity and so is the battery technology associated with these exciting bicycles. Some problems that can occur with eBikes are familiar to electrical engineers/technicians in a number of sectors; electrical connector oxidation, water ingress, contact wear and even the infamous fretting corrosion phenomena. A private customer…
A prospective customer got in contact seeking an alternative to the now discontinued Rocol® Kilopoise™ damping grease. The application was the opening mechanism of a photo scanner feed table; the customer being a company that specialises in the service and refurbishment of photo scanners. The feed table opening mechanism relies…
Vehicle interior trim noise can by very annoying. A private/retail customer had an issue with their car door which was generating a creaking sound while the vehicle was in motion. The customer contacted us for advice and used the AC F-27 product on various hard plastic contact points in the…
Two ageing potentiometers had developed electrical contact noise which was impacting on the usability of the equipment in which they serve. Both potentiometers required cleaning and restoring to full operation so they could be returned to service. Components will perform satisfactorily and continue to operate for many more years of…
Small applications of synthetic grease are very important throughout a modern vehicle and the interior is no different. In this case study we will focus on an Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) switch lubrication application; sometimes EPB devices are referred to as E-Brake. Throughout the interior of a vehicle, lubricants reduce…
Like most power tools, commercial grinders operate at high speeds with considerable amounts of applied pressure. If not addressed in the design stage, these two factors can lead to premature product failure. A grease is required to extend the life of the angle grinder by protecting the gears in the…
A manufacturer of diamond cutting tools for ultra-precision and optical manufacturing applications was having lubrication issues with leads screws in their custom-built cutting machines. The screw drive system controls the device table so a smooth movement is crucial. The competitor grease was not performing well, there was a ‘stick-slip’ issue…
An industrial joystick manufacturer was facing performance issues with a high performance model. The joystick design was required to operate in extreme temperatures and hostile environments, the sub zero temperature performance was of particular concern and there was a galling issue between zinc surfaces. The manufacturer was also under pressure…
