Q7: Can I mix this grease with other greases?

As a general rule, mixing greases with different thickener types is not recommended. Incompatible thickeners can cause the grease to soften excessively or harden, leading to lubrication failure. If mixing is unavoidable, verify compatibility first and monitor performance closely. When switching to a new grease, it is best practice to purge the old grease completely.

Q8: What is the NLGI grade of Klüber Klübersynth BEM 34-32?

The NLGI grade is 2. NLGI grade indicates the consistency of the grease — lower numbers are softer, higher numbers are firmer.

Q9: How often should I relubricate my bearings?

Relubrication intervals depend on several factors including bearing size, speed, load, operating temperature, and environmental conditions. As a general guideline: small high-speed bearings may require relubrication every few months, while large slow-speed bearings may operate for years between relubrication. Use condition monitoring (vibration analysis, temperature trending) to optimize your relubrication schedule.

Q10: What happens if I over-lubricate a bearing?

Over-lubrication is a common cause of bearing failure. Excess grease can cause churning, leading to increased friction, higher operating temperatures, and accelerated grease degradation. In severe cases, over-lubrication can cause seal damage, increased energy consumption, and premature bearing failure. Follow your equipment manufacturer's recommended grease quantity.

Q11: How do I clean old grease from bearings?

For manual cleaning: disassemble the bearing housing, remove old grease with a clean lint-free cloth, wash components with a suitable solvent, ensure all solvent has evaporated, and apply fresh grease. For automated systems, purge old grease by pumping fresh grease through while the bearing is running (if safe), collecting expelled old grease. Never use compressed air to "blow out" bearings as this can introduce contamination.

Q21: How do I dispose of used lubricant?

Used industrial lubricants should be disposed of in accordance with local, regional, and national regulations. Do not dispose of in drains, water courses, or soil. Collect used grease in designated containers and arrange disposal through a licensed waste management company. Refer to the product SDS for specific disposal guidance.

Q22: What causes grease to harden in bearings?

Grease hardening can be caused by: (1) thermal degradation from excessive operating temperatures, (2) oxidation due to prolonged exposure to air at elevated temperatures, (3) mixing of incompatible greases causing thickener reaction, (4) contamination with dust or wear particles, (5) evaporation of base oil leaving hardened thickener residue. Regular condition monitoring and proper relubrication practices help prevent hardening.

Q23: What causes oil separation in grease?

Oil separation (bleeding) is a natural characteristic of grease. Some oil separation is actually beneficial as it provides oil to lubrication points. However, excessive oil separation can indicate: (1) storage at elevated temperatures, (2) product beyond its shelf life, (3) mechanical stress during handling, (4) inherent property of certain thickener types. If excessive separation is observed, test the remaining grease for consistency before use.

Q24: Can I use this grease in wet or humid environments?

Klüber Klübersynth BEM 34-32 offers standard industrial water resistance. For applications with significant water exposure (e.g., submerged bearings, high-pressure washdown), consider products specifically formulated for water resistance or consult Klüber technical support for recommendations.

Q25: What is the difference between grease and oil?

Grease is a semi-solid lubricant consisting of a base oil, a thickener, and additives. Oil is a liquid lubricant. Grease is typically used where: (1) the lubricant must stay in place, (2) frequent relubrication is impractical, (3) sealing against contaminants is needed, (4) intermittent operation requires protective film. Oil is used where: (1) heat must be carried away, (2) continuous circulation is possible, (3) high speeds require liquid lubrication.

Q26: How does Klubersynth BEM compare to other KLUBER product families?
