GG Friction Antidote can be used to treat a wide range of aviation lubricants for the requirements of many different aviation applications. Examples as such are airframe applications, from engine mounts to fighter canopy slide rollers to aircraft seat adjuster mechanisms.
GG Friction Antidote offers excellent lubricity, extreme pressure and scientifically unique anti-wear technology, resistance to fluid friction and exceptional long-term anti-corrosion characteristics.
Suborbital, orbital and deep space flight – require ironclad reliability and lifetime lubrication for critical components that must operate flawlessly in high vacuum and extreme temperatures, as well as endure exposure to fuels, oxidizers and radiation. GG Friction Antidote has been formulated to operate in a high vacuum environment for extended periods of time.
Commercial, corporate and military aviation – demands safety, reliability and compliance with a wide range of precise military specifications, as well as reduced maintenance requirements. GG Friction Antidote has been developed for the precise and demanding lubrication needs of the aerospace industry.
GG Friction Antidote provides a remarkable list of properties for aerospace applications, including:
Unaffected lubricity and viscosity within a wide temperature range
Stable physical properties over time – GG Friction Antidote is virtually unaffected by harsh environments like shock, vibration, heat, pressure and caustic chemicals such as rocket fuels and oxidizers, as well as being radiation resistant
Resistance to vapor loss in a vacuum, such as during high altitude, orbit or deep space flight
Excellent friction-reduction characteristics provide long wear and low energy consumption
Compatible for use with most metals, elastomers, plastics and finishes
In certain aerospace lubricant applications such as fan motors, GG Friction Antidote treated grease can provide lubed-for-life performance, eliminating the potential for failure due to lubrication over the lifetime of the part. This means there is a no longer a need for re-lubrication, which increases the time between servicing as well as decreasing downtime and overall costs. These aerospace lubricant applications include:
| AUXILIARY DRIVE SPINE SHAFTS | FAN MOTORS |
| Control Valves | Bearings – all types, including high-speed bearings, synchronous motor bearings in gyroscopes, thrust & vector control bearings |
| Seals – valves and pumps | Lubricants for space suits |
| O-rings – sealants, lubricants | Oxygen breathing systems for vehicle and space suit valve and pump packing seals, mechanical seals and connectors |
| Rocket engine assemblies: liquid-fueled turbines, gimbals, pumps, reduction gears, valves with fuel/oxidizer exposure, threaded fasteners and metal connectors | Valve and thread lubricant for aggressive systems |
| Wing flap actuator | Traction motors on lunar rover |
| Assembly fluid and mobile magnetic barrier fluid to separate oil and water |
Lube Tip – Preparation before packing bearings with grease:
GG Friction Antidote treated grease provides extended service life of UAV nose landing gear in harsh climates as well as in high-temperature lubrication for aircraft fuel pumps, as well as helicopter hydraulic pump splines and helps prevent fretting corrosion thus extended service life and ease of assembly/disassembly.
New bearings and equipment that are not lubricated often have rust preventive oils in them to prevent damage while they are in storage before use. New bearings should be inspected for damage and cleanliness before use. The greases or preservative oils need to be removed when using GG Friction Antidote treated grease as a lubricant. Failure to do so could result in reduced bearing life. Bearing life tests on preservative coated bearings have shown reduced life in high temperature, high speed tests, where the bearing was filled with a minimum amount of grease. The preservatives coat the metal surface to prevent rusting, so they can also prevent the grease from adhering, causing them to be thrown off by the action of the bearing. They also will oxidize and harden, and can create debris that will contaminate the grease.
Unearth the benefits of GG Friction Antidote – An investment that pays off and your benefits at a glance:
Innovative tribological solutions are our passion. We’re proud to offer unmatched friction reduction for a better environment and a quick return on your investment. Through personal contact and consultation, we offer reliable service, support and help our clients to be successful in all industries and markets.
Profitability:
Switching over to a high-performance lubricant pays off although purchasing costs may seem higher at first, less maintenance and longer vehicles/machinery parts lifecycle may already mean less strain on your budget in the short to medium term.
Continuous production processes and predictable maintenance intervals reduce production losses to a minimum. Consistently high lubricant quality ensures continuous, maintenance-free long-term lubrication for high plant availability. Continuous supply of fresh GG Friction Antidote treated lubricant to the lubrication points keeps friction low and reduces energy costs.
Safety:
Longer lubrication intervals reduce the frequency of maintenance work and the need for your staff to work in danger zones. Lubrication systems can therefore considerably reduce occupational safety risks in work areas that are difficult to access.
Reliability:
GG Friction Antidote treated lubricants ensure reliable, clean and precise lubrication around the clock. Plant availability is ensured by continuous friction reduction of the application. Lubrication with GG Friction Antidote treated lubricants help to prevent significant rolling bearing failures.
Need a good ROI? How about 3,900%?
It may sound too outrageous to be true, but the Institute of Mechanical Engineers estimates every $1,000 spent on proper lubrication yields $40,000 in savings.
