Lubrication of spindles

When lubricating trailers, it often happens that grease leaks away or dries out prematurely. As a result, spindles remain insufficiently protected despite regular maintenance, increasing the risk of wear. Eurol Grease CS-2/502-S provides a reliable solution by ensuring long-lasting lubrication and consistent protection.
Description of problem

Regular lubricating greases like lithium/calcium greases are commonly applied to lubricate the spindles on the drive-on semi-trailers that follow trucks for vehicle transportation. Unfortunately, these greases tend to experience oil leakage, a phenomenon known as "bleeding." This issue leads to inadequate lubrication of the spindles and can result in contamination. Because of this process, the grease also tends to dry out.

Solution

Eurol Grease CS-2/502-S, enhanced with SYNGIS technology, forms a robust lubricating film that remains in place even under extreme peak loads. Its high EP reserve prevents metal-to-metal contact, protecting the spindles against pitting. Because the base oil scarcely migrates out of the soap matrix, the grease does not dry out and retains its damping properties. The result is extended relubrication intervals, less wear, and smoother-running spindles. Additionally, because of this process, the grease tends to dry out.
