Grease Lubrication for Linear Motion

Kluber manufactures a range of special lubricants to ensure reliable, productive and economical operation of linear motion guides. Because of a trend towards minimum quantity lubrication, longer lubrication intervals and simplified design there is increasing demand for special lubricating greases offering high performance and good corrosion protection. Grease lubrication offers better emergency running characteristics, better noise dampening and a reliable sealing effect.

Below are some recommended products used for the lubrication of linear motion devices.
