OKS 427

OKS 427 Gear and Bearing Grease

Description

OKS 427 is a high-performance gear and bearing grease designed to excel under extreme conditions. Whether you’re dealing with highly stressed gears or roller bearings, OKS 427 ensures reliable lubrication, reduced wear, and extended service life.

Performance of OKS 427

• Durable: OKS 427 thrives in corrosive operating conditions with high temperatures and pressure.
• Economical: Its optimum formulation minimizes wear, reducing downtime and maintenance costs.
• Long-Term Lubrication: OKS 427 enables extended lubrication intervals, ensuring smooth operation.
• Adhesive and Water-Resistant: It adheres well, even in challenging environments.

Features of OKS 427

1. High-Temperature Performance: OKS 427 operates effectively within a wide temperature range.
2. Noise Dampening: It minimizes gear noise, enhancing overall system efficiency.
3. Shock Absorption: OKS 427 protects against impulsive loads and shocks.

Benefits of OKS 427

• Reduced Leakage: OKS 427 reduces leakage loss compared to oil lubrication.
• Wear Protection: It extends the lifespan of gears, bearings, and chains.
• Corrosion Resistance: OKS 427 withstands corrosive environments.
• Ropy and Adhesive: The grease adheres well to surfaces, ensuring consistent lubrication.

Specifications

• Lower Operating Temperature: -15°C
• Upper Operating Temperature: 160°C
• Consistency: 0-00 NLGI grade (DIN ISO 2137)
• Viscosity (at 40°C): 490 mm²/s (base oil)

Applications

For optimal results:

• Thoroughly clean the lubrication point using OKS 2610/2611 Universal Cleaner.
• Remove any corrosion protection agents before initial filling.
• Fill bearings to ensure all functional areas receive grease.
• Normal bearings should be filled up to 1/3 of the free interior housing space.
• Slow-running bearings (DN value < 50,000) and their housings require complete filling.
• Gear housings should be filled up to 3/4.
• Follow the instructions provided by the bearing and machine manufacturers.
• Define relubrication intervals and amounts based on service conditions.
• If old grease cannot be removed, limit the amount to avoid over-lubrication.
• Consider a complete exchange of old grease for longer relubrication intervals.
• Mix only with compatible lubricants.
