Mounted Roller Bearing
Application

A Mexican metal work manufacturer
improves productivity and saves moneyby switching lubricants.
Manufacturer in Mexico extends service life ofbearings and reduces lubrication frequency
A Mexican metal work manufacturer that
supplies painted automotive and houseware
parts to assemblers was experiencing frequentbearing failures in the conveyor system of its
paint booths, despite a weekly re-lubrication
cycle. These failures were costly in terms ofreplacement bearings and lost productivity..

The Challenge
The manufacturer needed a grease that coulddeliver good long-term lubricity to bearings thatmust operate under high loads and exposure tochemicals. The grease that the manufacturer
was using was being washed away by thesolvents in the paint spray, causing the bearings
to seize. Corrosion was another major problem.

Key Advantages

The Solution
After switching to Krytox XP 2A5 grease from Chemours,
the manufacturer no longer experienced bearing failures.
In addition to avoiding unscheduled downtime due toseized bearings, a common occurrence in the past, themanufacturer has been able to significantly extend there-lubrication cycle—from once a week to once every
seven weeks. And, even after seven weeks, the bearings
still showed no signs of wear or corrosion.
™

• Using Krytox™ XP 2A5 grease, the manufacturer wasable to improve productivity by eliminating frequent
downtime, due to bearing failures, as well as byextending the re-lubrication cycle from weekly to once
every seven weeks.
• The anti-corrosion protection of the additive in Krytox™
XP 2A5 grease reduces corrosion, and promotes longer
grease and bearing life.
• Krytox™ XP 2A5 can be used in similar applications
where bearings operate under high loads and thepotential for corrosion exists.
