Open Gear Lube

Open Gear Lube

Enhanced protection of your kiln’s pinion and bull gear while lowering your cost to lubricate

Our premium quality open gear lubricant is specially formulated to be applied by all methods: spray, oiling pinion, automatic lube systems, pick-up transfer, or by hand.

Its synthetic base requires no diluents for pumping, and coats the gear surface with high film strength; it is also water resistant and protects against wear. During extended use and when exposed to elevated temperatures, our open gear lube remains soft and pliable which allows for continuous protection and minimizing run-out.

The use of Easy Bar®’s Open Gear Lube reduces consumption and enhances your protection of your kiln’s pinion and bull gear. In addition, this product lowers your cost to lubricate as it has the ability to resist squeeze-out.

Premium Quality Open Gear Lubricant

Our Crescent Synthetic Open Gear Compound consists of high viscosity index synthetic fluid, an inorganic thicker, rust and oxidation inhibitors, extreme pressure additives, and solid film-forming components. This provides an adhesive, water repellant film to assure maximum shock load and gear tooth protection.

This product is specifically designed for Pinion and Bull gear application. Our Synthetic Open Gear Lube does not require diluents or heating for application, and will not become hard and brittle on gear surfaces through use or heat exposure. Not only does this reduce product consumption, but also provides a cleaner work environment. The synthetic base of our open gear lubricant improves pumpability at low ambient temperatures compared to petroleum based compounds. It may be applied by brush, paddle, or spray systems.

What Our Customers Say

"This is an excellent opportunity to see the bars in action. I will work to see if we can have these entered into the budget for 2010 for a couple of tires on each kiln. With the prospect of building a new kiln in a couple years we are VERY interested in using correct lubrication for the new installation and building the habit and culture of not using kerosene as a mixing agent (current practice). We are very impressed with the product and were able to use it on all piers. (Many of our piers have different pad / retaining ring configurations).”

Other Products

ShaftCoat®

When trunnions are idled, the service lubricant drains off the shaft and back into the oil sump, leaving the shaft dry and void of lubricant. This results in dry metal-to-metal startups which create friction and wear. SHAFTCOAT® is a cold bearing start-up that works to lubricate shafts and protect against welding, galling, and surface deformation. It is also fully compatible with petroleum and synthetic-based fluids.

Easy Bar® Spray

The best lubricant spray for rotary kiln tires on the market. Lubricate hard to reach areas to combat the wear of stop blocks, inside tire bore, wear pads, leaf seals, and the thrust button. With just one application per week, our environmentally safe spray provides superior application with no mixing time, blowback, or graphite-covered safety suits needed.

Boss Oil

BOSS OIL is designed to be an immediate and temporary treatment for “hot bearings”. While the unit is in operation, pour BOSS OIL directly into the bearing fill port to mix with the service oil. By reducing the oil temperature and giving the plant time to correct the issue, the plant can save over $200K in trunnion bearing repair and avoid emergency kiln shutdowns.
