Klüber – all over the world 22

There was a time when the antilockbraking system was considered a newmilestone in the development of motorvehicles; today it is a piece of standardequipment. What was highly innovativeyesterday is now a series product. Asmarkets are becoming tighter, it is notenough to make do with the standardswe are used to. New ideas are calledfor, leading us towards better quality,economy, environmental protectionand service.

These are the requirements we have tomeet if we want to be successful in theincreasing competition for marketshare.

As manufacturers of special lubricantsfor the automotive sector and its sup-pliers, we are very close to your field ofactivities. We know your needs andyour visions, and their importance forsuccess in the long term.

More than 75 years of experience anda team of highly qualified experts putus in a position to create products thatlive up to the ever more stringentrequirements of automobile construc-tion.

No matter what challenge you havelaid out for us, we are ready to tackle itand offer a solution that is tailored toyour needs and wishes. If requested,we will develop a lubricant specificallyto suit your individual requirements.

Klüber is your partner whenever atribology specialist is needed.

This brochure will tell you about ourinnovative lubricants for all kinds ofautomotive applications that arealready available today.

Your visions arewhat drives us

Klüber lubricants pave the road to success

From constant velocity joints to centrallocking – there is hardly a part of amodern-day vehicle that will functioncorrectly without the right lubricant. But not just any lubricant: higher per-formance requirements, more con-venience, better environmental pro-tection – our specialists will not restuntil they have found the optimumeconomic lubrication solution to coverall aspects.

We understand lubricants to be designelements that help to save time andcapital, which opens up entirely newmarketing potential for you. Use ourknow-how and make it home first withyour customer: “Simultaneous Engi-neering” is the most direct road tosuccess.

All revved up for quality

Whether you are moving by road, rail,sea or air: all means of transport makeuse of highly complex technical sys-tems where operational reliability israted top priority. And since lubricantsplay a decisive role in the pursuit ofthis goal, Klüber has adopted anexemplary policy for enhancing quality.

The most advanced testing techniquesand high quality awareness demon-strate Klüber’s commitment to highperformance and reliability. And toprove there is more to this than justwords we provide certification in ac-cordance with the standards ISO 9001,ISO 14 001 and ISO TS 16 949. Thesecertifications not only refer to the ex-

cellent quality of Klüber lubricantsand services, but also to the extra-ordinary quality awareness of thecorporate management and thequality assurance systemimplemented throughout thecompany.

Comfort and con-venience boost sales

Today, all branches of industryare aware they need to havesomething to offer beyond techni-cal progress to make a difference incompetition. More and more atten-tion is paid to increasing comfort andconvenience. Lower noise, reducedvibration and electronic componentsassisting the driver are all on theagenda.

For such functions lubricants play adecisive role: special low-noise andanti-friction products for use in com-ponents like powertrains, additionalengine components, driver’s seats and window lifters are Klüber’s con-tribution to enhancing comfort andboosting sales figures.

Innovative concepts, excellent prospects

Commitment to theenvironment

Minimizing lubricant quantities is bene-ficial not only economically but alsounder ecological aspects.

Living up to the requirements of en-vironmental protection is understoodby Klüber to be an obligation to thecustomer as well as to the world welive in. This entails

❑ the development of high-per-formance lubricants that ensurelifetime lubrication even in mini-mum quantities,

❑ the development of special envi-ronmentally friendly, water-basedand adhesive dry lubricants andbonded coatings,

❑ the use of biodegradable rawmaterials.

It seems that we are on the right track.Accordingly, Klüber received the En-vironmental Protection Award of theCity of Munich and successfullyunderwent numerous EC eco-auditslike DIN ISO 14001 and EMAS in thelast few years.

Top quality continuously monitored

As a supplier of special lubricants to the automotive sector, we treat qualityassurance as a top priority.

Besides the chemical and physicalspecifications, technical performanceis most important in our products. Forthis reason we run a variety of differenttest configurations to assess the load-bearing capacities of Klüber speciallubricants.

However, standardized test methodsare not sufficient. We want more: espe-cially the highly complex applicationsfound in motor vehicles tend to makethe development of custom-made testrigs a necessity. Our team of engineersaccomplishes this application-orientedtask effectively and in close coopera-tion with the customer.

Ask us how we can help you to furtherincrease efficiency by defining an opti-mised testing method.

Please ask for our Technical Publication “Lubricant testing”, which is available in German, English, French, Spanish.

The Unseen

Bonded Coatings for Elastomers


0Lubrication is our World

… for excellent performance and maximum cleanliness

Klüber – Bonded Coatings …

Bonded coatings ensure dry and clean lubrication of metal, plastic andelastomer parts. Apart from profiledseals and elastomers, bonded coatingsare used also for small but importantcomponents like plain bearings, seatbelt components, door locks, screws,pistons and many more.

Klüber bonded coatings

❑ improve running-in behavior, alsoin connection with oil or greaselubrication

❑ protect against wear and avoidstick-slip at low speeds

❑ protect against corrosion❑ provide lifetime lubrication❑ facilitate assembly and

disassembly of close-tolerancecomponents

Klüber bonded coatings forelastomers

❑ reduce friction to a minimum❑ solve noise problems❑ good haptics due to soft feel effect❑ reduce assembly forces of O-rings❑ increase wear resistance of seals
