Lubricants in Flight: Aircraft Engines
Aircraft engines operating at high altitudes must withstand a wide range of temperatures. Components must be compatible with aviation fuels and resist corrosive fuel system vapors. Unique fluorinated synthetic lubricants that are inherently inert are ideal for this kind of operating environment. In addition to operating at very low temperatures of -90°C, their superior thermo-oxidative stability prevents high-temperature oxidation and varnishing even at continuous temperatures of 250°C, while also resisting aggressive chemicals and fuels. Learn which lubricants are ideal for use in engine components, such as accessory drives, structural connections, electrical & sensor systems, and actuator bearings & mechanisms.

High Insertion Forces Drive R&D Study
The number of electronic components in the average car has expanded over the past several decades and shows no sign of decelerating. Drivers have nearly all the amenities of home and office while on the go. Cars now brim with a seemingly endless number of accessories and diagnostic sensors to keep drivers abreast of operating conditions and maintenance needs. All these features require electrical connections. The ergonomics of the connector design, especially the force required to mate connectors, is a challenge faced by connector manufacturers and automakers alike. Learn how Nye's technical team is working to help solve this problem.
Explore our Low Temperature Grease: Rheolube® 1000
The newly commercialized, ultrafiltered Pennzane based grease, Rheolube 1000, joins our Rheolube 2000 family of greases to ensure long-life of gears and bearings in lower temperature Aerospace and Vacuum applications. Rheolube® 1000 is formulated with a specialized MAC fluid that combines the low vapor pressure and low outgassing of a PFPE, with the lubricity and film strength of a PAO, therefore making it ideal for use in applications where long-life is critical to the mission.
NSF Certified for the Baking Industry
In a high temperature baking environment, lubricants must resist residue accumulation, while also exhibiting excellent oxidation stability. In contrast, the extreme low temperatures of a baking chiller require lubricants that provide good water resistance and reliable operation at freezing temperatures. Nye has designed synthetic lubricants for the extreme low and high temperatures of baking processing and handling equipment. These NSF certified lubricants address the issues of food safety, maintenance down-time, extensive wear and continuous production lines by reducing friction and wear, extending component life, and reducing premature application failure.
