The Schaeffler Grease App reduces the risk of premature bearing failure by preventing under- or over-lubrication. The Schaeffler Grease App offers a customer-friendly solution to complex bearing lubrication questions. The application determines the most suitable type and amount of lubricant, service life and relubrication intervals for each type of bearing. It contributes to more sustainable machine use and reduces the risk of premature bearing failure by preventing under- or over-lubrication.
Up to 80 percent of premature bearing failures are caused by improper lubrication. This is where the Automotive and industry supplier Schaeffler's Grease App comes into play. It determines the most suitable type and amount of lubricant for the customer, the service life and relubrication intervals after the initial lubrication of the bearings. In software calculations, it uses the data received from BEARINX, the calculation tool developed by Schaeffler. In this way, it reduces the risk of insufficient or excessive lubrication and premature bearing failure due to this. The app also provides guidance on the selection of suitable lubricants from the Arcanol range. Together with the automatic lubricators, intelligent OPTIME lubricants and Arcanol lubricants from the CONCEPT series, Schaeffler offers a perfectly coordinated system for the sustainable lubrication of bearings.
The ideal amount of lubricant is calculated taking into account the technical characteristics of the bearing.
The Grease App can be downloaded for free from the web page or standard app stores. Operating conditions such as loads, speeds and environmental factors, Arcanol lubricant types suitable for bearings after application, suitable Arcanol type required by the customer for initial lubrication and relubrication applications, oil service life, lubrication intervals and oil amount are calculated and displayed. The ideal amount of lubricant is calculated taking into account the technical characteristics of the bearing in question. For example, different geometrical details in the internal design of the bearings are taken into account.
Provides information on how to optimally set lubricants
The app also provides visual and written information on how to optimally set lubricants from Schaeffler's OPTIME and CONCEPT series. Arcanol lubricants have proven themselves for years with impressive performance in bearings and linear applications. Lubricants undergo extensive conformity testing and are tested in conditions closest to the application conditions and matched for optimal performance. As a result, the lubricant service life is extended and optimum bearing service life is achieved. Current Arcanol portfolio; multi-purpose, heavy load and high temperature resistant, same zamcurrently consists of lubricants for special applications. Arcanol lubricants stand out as part of the Schaeffler Lifetime Solutions portfolio, which offers a comprehensive veil of products, services and solutions to industrial maintenance operations and aims to assist maintenance personnel throughout the working life of the machine.
Schaeffler's sales system is integrated into medias
The Grease application is also integrated into Schaeffler's sales system medias so that all necessary information can be delivered to the customer without any problems. The application determines the type and amount of lubricant most suitable for the customer, the service life and relubrication intervals after the initial lubrication of the bearings. Schaeffler's Arcanol series of lubricants optimizes the service life of bearings and linear systems, while demonstrating their impressive performance in these areas over the years.
