NEW PRODUCTS [Tribology & Lubrication Technology](Tribology & Lubrication Technology Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) MACHINING LUBRICANTS INCREASE PERFORMANCE AND PRODUCTIVITY CIMC00L Fluid Technology introduces InSol(TM) lubrication. This new technology coupled with unique surfactants and inhibitors provides excellent multimetal performance without the use of extreme pressure additives. Productivity gains up to 20 percent have been observed when compared to chlorinated lubricants, and the technology works on both machining and grinding operations. Since InSol technology works through controlled water solubility, lubricant performance lasts longer due to low depletion rates. It's also Ideal for tough-toprocess alloys without using materials that can increase waste hauling costs. By carefully optimizing the selected materials for each fluids, nearly 100 percent of the lubricant can be placed at the cut zone where it counts most. Since the material is mostly water-soluble, it virtually never depletes when regular makeup concentrate Is added. Suitable for use with high-performance fluids for aerospace and medical device applications, as well as high performance parts made from hard metal alloys including titanium. The InSol technology is available In ClMCOOL's CIMTECH 300 and CIMTECH 600 series fluids that also utilizes the company's MSL® (Milacron Synthetic Lubricant) patented lubricants. CIMCOOL Fluid Technology Cincinnati, Ohio (888) 246-2665 www.cimcool.com HYDRAULIC FLUIDS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL APPLICATIONS Clarion Lubricants Introduces two new products, Clarion Green Synthetic Fluids and Clarion Green Bio premium antiwear hydraulic fluids, which are designed to help prevent downtime, contamination and fines in regulated or environmentally sensitive hydraulic applications without sacrificing equipment performance or efficiency. These premium products are readily biodegradable, non-toxic in acute aquatic toxicity test (LC-50), ashless and zinc-free while providing performance. Clarion Green Synthetic Fluids are fully synthetic and are available in ISO 22.32.46 and 68 viscosity grades. Clarion Green BIO Is formulated with high oleic natural esters and are available in ISO 32.46 and 68 viscosity grades. Both products offer premium antiwear protection, rust and corrosion protection and oxidation stability. Clarion Lubricants Houston, Texas (855) 692-5274 www.clarionlubricants.com HIGH-PERFORMANCE BEARING RETAINER Industrial Origami, Inc., introduces a revolutionary high-performance bearing retainer made exclusively from folded sheet metal. Thinsheet metal retainers improve bearing performance and extend bearing life In the most demanding applications. High-performance bearing retainers are produced from thin-sheet metal instead of machined and formed from thick metal plate. Sheet metal retainers use optimized geometries, including hollow cross sections and multiple roller-to-retainer contact surfaces to improve roller positioning and control. Through improved roller control and lightweight designs, high-performance sheet metal retainers dramatically reduce the forces between the roller and retainer during operation. Reduced forces allow retainers to use up to 50 percent less material, resulting in lower torque and overall bearing weight. These benefits are available in multiple bearing types including tapered, spherical and cylindrical roller bearings. Ideal for low-to-medlum volume applications requiring minimal tooling and capital investment to produce and to final assemble in the bearing. Requires no welding or fasteners in assembly and enables service maintenance in the field. Industrial Origami, Inc. Cleveland, Ohio (440) 260-0000 www.industrialorigami.com MULTIPURPOSE LUBRICANT FOR EXTREME HIGH-TEMPERATURE APPLICATIONS Kliiber Lubrication introduces Klübertemp GR AR 55, a multipurpose lubricant offering exceptional corrosion protection and high evaporation stability. Developed for high-temperature applications (up to 250 C) and applications exposed to aggressive media, Klübertemp GR AR 55 is a white, homogeneous long-term grease based on a perfluorinated polyether (PTPE) and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). Klübertemp GR AR 55 is NSF HI registered and is used in common applications such as pillow blocks/bearings, seals, rotary joints and ball bearing chains, as well as circulating fan bearings in various textile machinery. Lubricants based on PTPE and PTFE are inert and generally regarded as neutral towards most elastomers and plastics. Kliiber Lubrication Londonderry, N.H. (800) 447-2238 www.klubersolutions.com DESICCANT BREATHERS EXTENDS OIL AND EQUIPMENT LIFE Des-Case Corp. introduces the company's new line of Extended Series desiccant breathers, which are designed to help companies extend the life of their lubricants and equipment, the amount of time between maintenance intervals and, more important, maintenance budgets. The series includes four variously sized breathers that addresses a number of industrial needs, bringing greater protection and productivity to tank farms, wind turbines, large gearboxes, as well as applications in both high humidity environments and remote locations. The line features higher airflow, more moisture adsorbing desiccant, check-valve technology and longer life. These desiccant breathers are highly sophisticated filters for industrial lubricants, removing dirt and water from the headspace of equipment. Des-Case Corp. Goodlettsville, Tenn. (615) 672-8800 www.descase.com NEW MONITORING PROGRAM PROTECTS ROLLING MILL DRIVES FOR SAFE INCREASES IN MILL LOADS Emerson Industrial Automation, a subsidiary of Emerson, introduces a new torque-amplification analysis program for precisely measuring the true torque loads and vibration frequencies experienced by rolling mill drives, as part of a program to help mills process tougher alloys, Increase output with thicker slabs or higher speeds, protect against cold-end slabs or mitigate torsional vibration. Developed by Emerson's Kop-Flex business unit, the new torque amplification analysis program combines computer modeling of complex drives with true torque measurements to determine the actual torque amplification factor (TAF) on the drive, instead of Inferring It from motor current readings. Kop-Flex then engineers solutions that reduce TAF and torsional vibration using alterations of coupling stiffness, Improved overload protection, resilient couplings and other strategies. According to Emerson, TAF analysis applies measured torque readings to 3D mode shape analysis to visualize how a drive train twists at various locations to determine where to alter stiffness or increase damping. TAF data capture and analysis can be a temporary service or It can be Integrated with a mill's CSI6500 condition monitoring system as an ongoing service. Emerson Industrial Solutions Florence, Ky. (800) 626-2120 www.emersonindustrial.com LOW RANGE, HIGH LINE DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE TRANSDUCERS GP:50 Corp. LTD Introduces the company's Model 216/316 series of compact, long range, high line differential pressure transducers.
