Lubricants are often the forgotten components in the design of moving elements. Last minute redesign and changes can be avoided by considering lubricant performance needs during the design phase. High performance equipment generates more local heat because of the higher speeds and loads in smaller components. Traditional lubricants that may have worked in the past often fail in the next generation component causing delays in product launch or significant customer dissatisfaction during use. By using premium high performance synthetic lubricants, improved performance and extended life can be achieved.

Sponsored by DuPont, this NASA Tech Briefs free webinar will:

• Review characteristics of true high temperature / high performance lubricants.
• Describe applications that have benefited from improved lubrication performance.
