Introduction to automatic transmission systems
Many drivers prefer a manual transmission system over an automatic transmissions system in their vehicle. And yet an automatic gearbox has a lot of advantages. In this article we list up the different automatic transmission technologies and compare them in terms of fuel efficiency, production cost and driving comfort.
Q8 Mahler G8: first ‘high ash’ oil with OEM-approval for critical natural gas engines
Q8Oils has succeeded to eliminate the undesired side effects of gas engine oils with a high sulphated ash content. The Q8 Mahler G8 gas engine oil combines a 0,8 % sulphated ash content with a low deposit tendency, keeping engine parts clean.
Palub in Motion
Product Applications LUBricants, the technical support department of Q8Oils, has some important announcements to make. Not only has Joris van der List taken over from the recently retired PALUB manager Cees Sonneveldt, but also a new specialist recently joined the team in order to enhance our expert support.
The importance of emulsions for Aluminum drawing – Part 4 (final)
The aluminum wire drawing emulsion as like copper should be filtered effectively, this promotes clean running by removal of abrasive and reactive fines from the system. In aluminum emulsions it is best to use two systems, a centrifuge and also a paper filtration. A third system of a vacuum filtration could also be considered to remove the lightweight particles.
Replacing your mineral oil with a biodegradable oil
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.
The importance of emulsions for Aluminum drawing – Part 3
The use of soluble oil emulsions for aluminium drawing is not a new application, however with newer types of additive and the performance that they provide, substantial benefits can be provided to the drawing company by using emulsions over drawing oils. Emulsions can be used for both EC and Alloys across all wire sizes from rod to super fine applications.
How to avoid varnishing in turbine oils
Varnishing is a form of lubricant degradation causing the formation of undesirable deposits. In turbine systems, few failure conditions can disrupt operations as quickly and completely as a varnished control valve. It can occur in the most well-maintained machines, even when oils are not particularly old or contaminated. The Q8 van Gogh turbine oils improve the resistance against varnishing, resulting in a higher stability and extended lifetime of your turbine.
Case Study: Performance evaluation test for stationary gas engine oils
Q8Oils’ performance evaluation test is the answer. It gives our customers a perfect comparative view on oil consumption, engine downtime, production efficiency and the overall value for installation owners.
How to measure productivity in copper wiredrawing – Part 2
Lubrication consistency with newer generation copper wiredrawing lubricants can be demonstrated and proven with both laboratory analyses and in live factory applications. Under controlled identical conditions, product technologies can be cross-referenced and compared in KPI’s laboratories.
