Case Study: Automotive Switches

This grease if often recommended for interior and exterior automotive applications including power mirror gears and dashboard and door switches.

Background

As vehicles incorporate increasingly sophisticated electric component designs, more lubrication points are required to ensure lasting, trouble-free operation. An Automotive Tier 1 Supplier approached one of Nye's affiliates in search of a lubricant for their Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) switch. The supplier needed a plastic-compatible grease that would prevent wear, reduce noise, and convey a quality feel within their switch’s mechanical design.

Results

After in-house testing, the automotive tier supplier was pleased that Rheolube® 362HB reduced surface wear during EPB operation and met the functional life requirements of the OEM. The supplier was also pleased with the improved tactile feel provided by the grease.

Packaging Options

Nye greases are available in a variety of packaging sizes for both high- volume automated production dispensing and small volume manual dispensing, such as field repair activities.
