Product Description

LHMT 68/5 SKF



Advanced Lubrication Solution for Chains (Medium Temperature)

SKF LHMT 68/5 is a high-performance mineral oil specifically formulated for optimal lubrication of industrial chains operating in moderate temperatures. This product was developed considering the challenging operational conditions encountered by chain drive systems and aims to extend equipment life while reducing operating costs.

Technical Details and Performance Features:

Formulation and Viscosity: LHMT 68/5 is a mineral oil formulated using selected base oils that are stable in moderate temperature environments. The product's viscosity (68 cSt @ 40°C) is optimized to create a sufficient oil film thickness between chain links, pins, and bushings in moderate temperature applications. This viscosity provides both high load-carrying capacity and minimizes excessive internal friction.

Excellent Wear Protection: Thanks to its special anti-wear (AW) additives, it effectively prevents wear of chain components by minimizing metal-to-metal contact. This prevents chain elongation and premature failure, improving operational reliability.

Superior Corrosion Resistance: Contains effective corrosion inhibitors to prevent chains from rusting and corroding in environments with humidity or chemical vapors. This feature is critical for applications in various industrial sectors, particularly food processing, textiles, and general manufacturing.

Chain Life and Relubrication Interval Optimization: LHMT 68/5's balanced formulation significantly extends chain life by reducing wear and corrosion. Furthermore, the oil's oxidation stability and evaporation resistance allow for longer relubrication intervals, directly reducing maintenance costs and downtime.

Reduction in Oil and Energy Consumption: Optimized viscosity and a low coefficient of friction minimize energy losses in chain drive systems. Less friction means less heat generation and more efficient power transmission. Additionally, extended relubrication intervals reduce oil consumption, reducing the environmental footprint and positively impacting operating costs.

Thermal Stability: Specifically developed for medium-temperature applications, the oil remains thermally stable under these operating conditions. This means it maintains its performance over extended periods without significant changes in viscosity or the formation of deposits.

SKF LHMT 68/5 is an ideal choice for conveyor chains, drive chains, and other medium-temperature chain applications in the food and beverage, textile, packaging, and general manufacturing industries. Its high-performance properties ensure the long-term efficiency and reliability of your chain drive systems.
