Power Tools

Reduce Temperatures

Lubricants reduce frictional heat. A lubricant that cannot withstand high temperatures will oxidize and leave behind several by products such as acids. The acids will attack the metal surface and lead to increased wear and corrosion of the gear.

Increase Speed & Improve Torque Performance

Design engineers are often tasked with reducing torque in small, high-speed motors. Lubricants reduce starting and running torque by reducing friction between sliding surfaces.

Improve Load Handling Ability

Lubricants fortified with extreme pressure additives can help support heavy loads by creating a barrier between connecting surfaces that prevents wear. Synthetic ester greases are particularly suited for preventing heavily loaded metal-on-metal wear.

Reduce Weight

When tasked with improving ergonomics and reducing weight, design engineers turn towards light weight plastic designs. Nye offers lubricants that are compatible with metal and most plastics and elastomers.

Minimize Noise & Vibration

Noise and vibration are often a result of friction between two components. A film of lubricant prevents two moving surfaces from coming in contact with one another to minimize noise.

Reduce Force & Improve Feel

Workplace injuries are more likely to occur when excessive force is required to actuate triggers, switches, and other power tool controls. Nye offers a line of motion control greases that vary in shear resistance to assist engineers in controlling the precise torque and speed of their components.

Lubricants protect your components against common causes of failure including wear, environmental corrosion, and short circuits. Our lubricants designed for power tools can:

• Improve tool durability
• Extend the life of components
• Extend run time
• Shorten charge time

Shock, vibration, and temperature cycles create micro-motion electrical contact wear (fretting); leading to connection failure. Nye’s greases lubricate the electrical contacts and protects them from water, oxidation, and corrosion, thus improving power tool reliability and durability.

Nye Products: Rheotemp™ 769G

A tight electrical connection between the power tool and the battery pack can often make attaching and detaching the battery pack difficult. Nye’s greases lubricate this connection reducing the mating force, while also protecting this connection from wear due to repetitive use.

Nye Products: NyoGel® 760G

Designed for demanding temperatures and chemical exposures, these greases reduce electrical contact wear and increase power tool lifetime, while still being compatible with plastic materials.

Nye Products: Uniflor™ 8511

Power tool gears encounter both high loads and high-speed operations, with frequent on/off cycling. Nye’s greases minimize gear wear, lower tool temperatures, reduce power consumption, extend operating life, and improve performance. NLGI Grade 1 and 2 greases are available depending on your application.

Nye Products: Rheolube® 380 & Rheolube® 380-GI

Plastic-to-plastic mechanical interfaces often need lubrication to address issues with manufacturing tolerance variations. Nye’s plastic compatible greases lubricate these interfaces while also imparting a consistent “feel” thereby improving the ergonomics of the power tool. Select the “feel” by trying a few different greases from the NyoGel® 774 Series.
