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…
Sometimes it can be smaller than a grain of sand. Manufacturing equipment in Vacuum and cleanroom environments are so sensitive that even microscopic particulates can cause product failure. In a bearing, for example, any particle that acts like a ‘speed bump’ in the motion of the bearing, no matter how…
There are three primary lubrication regimes, which are boundary, mixed, and hydrodynamic lubrication. Lubrication regimes describe the type of lubrication film that is created under specific operating conditions and is dependent on the degree of contact between surfaces. Boundary Lubrication During boundary lubrication, opposing surfaces meet with little or no…
Selecting the right grease for your worm gear is almost as important as picking the gear materials. Lubricants play a critical role in improving the performance of components, but not all lubricants are suitable for every worm gear application. A lubricant that cannot withstand the operating conditions of your application,…
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…
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…
We offer a range of synthetic lubricants specifically for power tool components, to increase performance, reduce power consumption, improve ergonomics and lengthen functional life of components. GEAR & GEAR BOXES Power tool gears encounter both high loads and high speed operations, with frequent on/off cycling. Nye synthetic grease will minimise…
We have a number of base oils to select from when formulating a grease. Quite often the first way to start the product selection process is ruling out grease that doesn’t have the temperature capability that is required in your application. The chart featured on this page gives the reader…
Our Nyogel 767A damping grease is a firm favourite of flight simulator computer game enthusiasts, it seems that a high viscosity damping grease is the ideal product to improve the simulator experience by improving the movement and tactile feel of flight simulator joysticks and throttle controllers; sometimes theses systems are…
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…
