Appliance BrochureThis brochure presents the extensive line of synthetic lubricants that Nye has to offer to the Appliance Industry. In each piece of household equipment, several components depend upon and function with a lubrication system.
Greases for
Rolling Element BearingsQuality rolling element bearing greases function over a wide temperature range; offer thermooxidative stability and low volatility; and have base oils that retain the viscosity needed to provide an adequate lubricant film throughout a specified range of operating temperatures, speeds and loads.
Lubricants for Stationary Separable Electrical ConnectorsThe advantages of lubricating electrical connectors. Reduces friction, eases mating. A thin film of lubricant can reduce mating force by as much as 80 percent, an important factor in connector assembly. For electronic connectors with dozens or even hundreds of pins, or for automotive connectors that are in hard-to-reach places, a low insertion force makes assembly more efficient and ensures solid connections.
Lubricants for Gear Motors, Gear Boxes and Power Tool GearingThe rolling and sliding actions which occur in all types of gearing, such as spur, helical, worm, spiral bevel or hypoid, present a different type of challenge to lubricants compared to ball or roller bearings. Many designers, especially worm gear designers, are interested in increasing gear box efficiency.
Gaining A Competitive Advantage with Synthetic LubricantsA look into the many advantages of using synthetic lubricants to beat out the rest of your market's competition.
Damping Grease BrochureThis brochure is a basic introduction to Nye's Damping Grease. It gives real-world examples of how damping grease is used across a variety of industries. Covered are the material, its history, and how damping grease reduces noise and wear and controls the "feel" of mechanical devices.

*Caution: These compatibility ratings are intended to be guidelines for design engineers when selecting lubricants. Under high mechanical stress, high temperature, poor plastic/elastomer quality, or any combination of these conditions, compatibility can be compromised. Any synthetic lubricant used with a plastic or elastomeric component should be tested to ensure compatibility in a specific application.
