Bearing and Gear Oil

WYROL BG Series are high performance synthetic low staining bearing and gear oils designed for use in rolling mills. Due to their low staining tendency, they are particularly suitable for use in non-ferrous rolling mill applications. They are formulated with low staining synthetic ingredients that ensure adequate lubrication is provided for heavy-duty bearing and gear unit conditions. Their low staining characteristics ensure that the quality of rolled metal is not impaired through leakage into roll coolant systems. This will ensure an optimum life and quality is obtained from the roll coolant; this reduces maintenance and overall costs. WYROL BG oils have good anti-wear and load-carrying performance and protect heavily loaded gears and bearings from damage and wear. WYROL BG oils also exhibit excellent oxidation stability and corrosion prevention properties.

Features and Benefits

WYROL BG oils are specifically designed to overcome the problems generated when conventional bearing lubricating oils contaminate the roll oils and result in finished product staining. They also provide excellent lubrication characteristics to reduce wear and improve equipment service life. Their excellent chemical stability allows extended service intervals and reduced maintenance costs.

WYROL BG oils offer the following benefits:

  • Very low staining properties improve the production of acceptable materials
  • Lower scrapage rates
  • Improved roll coolant life and lower maintenance costs
  • Good anti-wear and load-carrying characteristics increase bearing and gear life
  • High oxidation stability increases oil service life

Applications

WYROL BG oils are incompatible with conventional mineral oils and changeover to these fluids require thorough flushing and cleaning before adding WYROL BG oils. Consult your local Marketing Technical Representative for advise concerning changeover procedures.

  • Bearing and gear lubrication in aluminium rolling mill applications
  • They are suitable for splash and mist lubrication systems
