Knowledge about thermal and physical properties of lubricants enables OEM’s to improve their equipment designs. Q8Oils has tested and measured the most important properties of some of its products. To support our partners we give them insight into this valuable information.
The main circulation lubricant in industrial applications comes into contact with anti-rust fluids and sealants used to prevent leakages. Q8Oils has tested and analysed how these products affect lubricant anti-wear properties.
In order to understand what could happen if the system is not properly flushed before start-up and if excessive amounts of sealant are used, Q8Research has investigated this issue.
Hydraulic oils are somewhat compressible which can cause problems in hydraulic systems. Aspects like temperature changes and the presence of air bubbles in the hydraulic oil influence compressibility which can lead to uncontrolled decompression and other problems related to compressibility.
For many decades Q8Oils has been developing and manufacturing lubricants for all possible applications. We combine our general market insights in a wide series of sectors with extensive expertise in developing specialized lubrication solutions.
Under some conditions lubricants can become electrostatically charged. This can lead to heavy discharges, causing possible damage to parts and an increased build-up of oil sludge. By performing conductivity measurements of your lubricant you can avoid machine damage and oil deterioration.
The hydraulic fluid is the most important component in a hydraulic system. Choosing the right hydraulic fluid is crucial to guarantee the best performance and efficiency of the system. Each fluid has its specific characteristics in terms of viscosity, suitable operating conditions, anti-wear properties, etc. In this article we offer valuable tips and tricks to select the right fluid for your hydraulic system.
Modern hydraulic systems operate with relatively small hydraulic oil volumes, generating higher stress loads on lubricants. The Q8 Hogarth range offers hydraulic oils with improved viscometric properties to reduce the temperature influence on the oil viscosity. They have been developed to ensure a trouble-free operation and an extended oil replenishment interval due to superior oxidation stability.
There is a rising awareness of the importance of using eco-friendly lubricants, particularly in industries in ecologically-sensitive areas like forestry, agriculture, waterways, marine, mining, etc.
