TRCI is the official representative of Klüber Lubrication, a world market leader in specialty lubricants. With decades of research and application know-how, Klüber greases are designed to deliver reliable performance and sustained protection where conventional lubricants may fall short.
Protect your machines against wear and corrosion — mechanically and economically.
Sustainably addressing wear and corrosion by choosing the right grease.
Wherever friction is present in a mechanical system, wear and corrosion may interfere with your production process and harm your machinery. This can be addressed with high-quality lubricating greases, since selecting the optimal grease lubrication helps keep production running and equipment in good condition.
When selected correctly, lubricating greases are highly effective in industrial settings for lowering friction and minimizing wear. From a chemical standpoint, they are blends made up of:
around 75% base (lubricating) oil,
around 15% thickener, and
up to 10% additives.
Lubricating greases are an excellent option when long-lasting protection is needed at friction points. In addition to providing reliable lubrication, they can also shield components from external influences—such as water spray, moisture, and contamination—depending on the operating conditions.
The outcome: your machinery is safeguarded against wear and corrosion, helping you stay protected both technically and economically.
Whether grease or oil is the better lubrication option for your application depends on your specific requirements. Selecting the appropriate lubricant helps you address the challenges you face, but in every case the decisive factors are your machine’s design and how it operates.
One key benefit of grease compared with oil is its higher consistency, which allows it to remain at the friction point for a longer time. This becomes particularly advantageous for lubrication points:
that are not sealed, where the grease’s consistency retains the base oil at the contact area and ensures a reliable, continuous supply of base oil to the friction point;
where relubrication is not feasible, meaning a single fill must provide effective lubrication for the entire service life of the component.
In general, grease is often the most suitable choice whenever the design of an industrial application makes oil lubrication impractical. A typical example is spindle bearings in machine tools, which run at very high speeds under low surface pressure. In contrast, large drives operating under high surface pressures at low speeds may be better served by oils or other fluid lubricants.
Easier system design, particularly regarding sealing requirements
Extended service life with less maintenance needed
In many cases, lubrication that lasts for the entire lifetime of the component
Reduced lubricant usage
Better sealing performance
Select a lubricating grease that best fits the applications you want to improve and safeguard. With a portfolio of more than 1,500 lubricating greases, we offer solutions tailored precisely to your individual needs. Take your production performance further—for instance, with high-performance greases designed for exceptionally high or low temperatures, or with particularly versatile multi-purpose greases.
Suitable grease lubrication is indispensable for reliable operation and service life attainment of rolling bearings. For example, good oil release is especially important for high-speed rolling bearings. For each application, you need a suitable lubricant that meets your individual demands. You can choose from high-temperature, low-temperature, high-speed or heavy-duty lubricating greases, as well as H1 lubricating greases.
Selected greases for rolling and plain bearings:
With gearbox designs that are not completely oil-tight, the lubricating grease must also provide sealing. Here lubricating greases in the form of fluid greases not only absorb pressure loads and protect against wear, but also effectively seal your gearbox.
Selected gear and gearbox greases:
Plastic parts can be made of many different materials in an extremely wide variety of material combinations. The main considerations for choosing the right lubricating grease are compatibility with the plastic and outstanding wear protection. Our products help you optimally meet these requirements.
Selected greases for plastics:
Electrical contacts, switches and sensors need lubricating greases with consistently low contact resistance. Contacts also have to be protected against corrosion, and they need to achieve a large number of insertion or switch cycles. Contact greases meet all these requirements optimally.
Selected greases for contacts, switches and sensors:
You need the right lubricant to ensure perfect operation of your valves, fittings and actuators. For every medium, no matter whether food, drinking water, gas or oxygen, we offer you top-quality speciality lubricating greases.
Selected greases for valves and fittings:
With pneumatic drives, it is especially important that they start reliably and run smoothly. Lubricating greases make this possible. However, the grease must be compatible with the corresponding seals, making highly specialised lubricating greases necessary. In cooperation with expert manufacturers of seals and pneumatic components, Klüber Lubrication has developed precisely matching speciality lubricants that optimally fulfil your requirements.
Selected greases for pneumatic systems:
Grease is often preferred when lubrication points are not sealed, when oil would leak away, or when long relubrication intervals and simpler sealing are priorities.
Grease compatibility depends on thickener type and base oil. Switching may require purging or cleaning. Share your current grease and application details and we’ll advise the safest changeover.
H1 greases are designed for applications where incidental food contact may occur, when required by the process and compliance needs.
Selection depends on base oil viscosity, thickener type, additives, and the component design. Provide temperature, speed, and load data and we’ll recommend the right option.
Yes — TRCI supports lubrication solutions beyond products, including options for automated or centralized lubrication where applicable.
