LONG-LASTING WEAR PROTECTION AND LOW ENERGY CONSUMPTION

In the aerospace industry, aircraft components are exposed to extreme loads. Frequent changes in pressure and temperature, high shock loads and strong vibrations put a lot of strain on the components. Friction and the resulting wear, in combination with moisture and contamination, lead to premature component damage.

The safety of aviation personnel and passengers is the top priority. Regular maintenance and servicing of each individual component is therefore of great importance. The use of high-quality, high-performance and field-tested lubricants can significantly extend the service life of components, reduce energy consumption and minimize maintenance and repair costs. LUBCON develops and tests high-performance lubricants specifically for the demanding requirements of the aerospace industry - both for civil aviation and for space travel, e.g. for the Ariane launch vehicle.

APPLICATION

Landing gear

For a safe take-off and a smooth landing, it is essential that the landing gear functions perfectly. The choice of the right lubricant plays a decisive role here. The lubricant must be able to withstand low temperatures, reliably minimize wear and exhibit only minimal performance losses even with lifetime lubrication. The high-performance lubricants from LUBCON offer maximum protection and functionality throughout the entire flight - from take-off to landing.

Radar systems

Radar systems are essential for navigation in aviation. The smooth functioning of all components within the radar systems depends to a large extent on correct lubrication. LUBCON specialty lubricants have been developed for a wide temperature range, are stable at high pressure and guarantee a long-lasting lubricating effect.

Actuators/actuators

The landing flaps on the wings of an airplane increase the air resistance during take-off and landing. To ensure that these actuators function perfectly, the lubricants used must meet special requirements: excellent wear and corrosion protection, a wide temperature range and high oxidation resistance. With its thixotropic high-performance lubricants such as Semifluid Turmogrease Li AzR, LUBCON offers a proven solution that is already being used successfully by well-known aircraft manufacturers.
