With its innovative use of water as a functional constituent, Klüber Lubrication opens up previously unimagined possibilities for industrial applications. Water provides a natural cooling effect, allowing you to effectively reduce component temperatures while significantly increasing energy efficiency and component life. Hydro Lubricants also help optimize occupational health and safety processes, paving the way for an environmentally sustainable future.
Innovative Technology: Water is used as a core component, providing a natural cooling effect.
Reduced Energy Consumption: Friction and wear in components are minimized, improving efficiency.
Substantial temperature reduction in the component: The cooling effect of water lowers operating temperatures, increasing mileage and service life.
Safe and Sustainable: No harmful solvents are used, supporting occupational safety and environmental protection.
Hydro Lubricants are homogeneous lubricants containing water as a functional component. In these products:
In this new technology that is still under development, water offers major functional benefits: it is sustainable, available worldwide, non-toxic, and non-flammable. At present, Hydro Lubricants are primarily used with success in industrial gearbox applications and in e-mobility.
Just how innovative the development of a Hydro Lubricant has been is explained by Wolfgang Sammer, Head of Business Development at Klüber Lubrication, affording us a visionary glance of the future.
Water has a natural cooling effect. This particular feature has been put to good use by Klüber Lubrication in its Hydro Lubricant technology; the natural cooling effect reduces heat generation in the component, leading to considerably better efficiency. Furthermore, Hydro Lubricants minimise friction and wear, contributing to a considerably longer service life of your components.
While the visionary Hydro Lubrication technology is still evolving, it is already being used successfully in the Klüberplus C2 series. In this lubricant, designed for industrial conveyor belt applications, water and oil components form a homogeneous solution that facilitates precise metering and reduces operating temperatures.
Our improved conveyor lubricant from the Klüberplus C2 series now includes water as an additive, making it easier to meter and offering several advantages:
Hydro Lubricants also have great potential in gearboxes and transmissions, including applications in e-mobility systems and bearings. Initial tests are already showing promising results.
As a rule, the more specifically we develop a Hydro Lubricant for a particular application, the more extensive its benefits are. For this reason, Klüber Lubrication is looking for further cooperation partners and innovation leaders, especially in the fields of e-machines and e-mobility. In close cooperation with our experts you can test lubricants tuned to your specific requirements and benefit from the wide-ranging advantages of this future-driven technology.
Did you know? Klüber Lubrication launched the first Hydro Lubricant for industrial gearbox applications to the market in 2018 and has since been awarded the German Innovation Award for this achievement.
The end of a trip. The beginning of a new technology: water-based lubricants from Klüber Lubrication.
