Overview
Traditional lubricants have played an important role in supporting trouble-free operation of electric power management equipment. Today’s operating requirements, however, which include high temperatures, longer cycle times, and hostile environments, often demand more than traditional lubricants can deliver. Nye Lubricants meets these challenges with synthetic lubricants. Utilizing a wide variety of synthetic base oils, gellants, and additives, Nye’s synthetic lubricants not only minimize friction, they can withstand broad temperatures without oxidizing, evaporating, or causing resistive failures; inhibit wear and corrosion; provide environmental sealing; and control free motion. They provide that added measure of assurance that today’s electric power management equipment will operate as designed.
