The FlexxGear G lubrication gears are made of toothed polymer segments. Due to this segmented structure, a wide variety of gear widths are possible.
The open-cell structure of the polymer foam allows the lubrication gear to hold a large volume of lubricant and to release it in a metered manner. As a result, a homogeneous film of lubricant forms on the gears to be lubricated, ensuring ideal lubrication over a long period of time.
Relubrication takes place through holes in the mounting axis and delivery channels in the gear segments themselves.
The advantages of this application method are summarized:
• Avoidance of insufficient lubrication and wear on the gear surfaces
• with correct dosage no overlubrication and thus no unnecessary contamination
• easy and flexible mounting of the lubrication gears
Lubricants:
• Greases up to NLGI class 3, with or without solid particles
• Oils up to 30,000 mm²/s (at 40 °C)
