The story:
Krayden partnered with a company looking for material for a pruner transmission rotor. We recommended MOLYKOTE® G-68 Plastic Gear Grease. The grease was more robust, and the customer was able to perform over 5000 cycles with no heating or transmission failure.
What is the application? | Pruner Transmission Rotor |
What industry/market was this material used in? | Garden Tools Electrical and Gas Pruner. |
What issues was the end-user having? | The current grease is presenting degradation after 1000 cycles, the warranty was compromised. |
What material was used to solve the issue? | MOLYKOTE® G-68 Grease |
Why did this material work better than other materials? | The grease was more robust, and the customer was able to perform over 5000 cycles with no heating or transmission failure. This improvement in cycle time allowed the customers assembly to be more in line with industry standards for warranty and improved overall durability. |
