FUCHS RENOLIN – Hydraulic & Industrial Oils

FUCHS RENOLIN is one of the company's major industrial lubricant families, covering hydraulic fluids and a broad range of industrial lubrication applications.

RENOLIN products are formulated for equipment where reliable lubrication, wear protection, oxidation stability and dependable operation are important.

Typical applications include:

  • Hydraulic presses
  • Industrial hydraulic systems
  • Mobile hydraulic equipment
  • Manufacturing machinery
  • Machine tools
  • Circulating lubrication systems
  • Industrial power units
  • Hydraulic pumps and components

Hydraulic oil selection depends on the equipment manufacturer, operating temperature, pressure, viscosity requirement and applicable specification.

LUBELINE™ can assist with identifying the appropriate FUCHS RENOLIN hydraulic oil based on the equipment and required ISO VG grade or manufacturer specification.

FUCHS Industrial Gear Oils

FUCHS supplies industrial gear lubricants for demanding enclosed gearbox and gear-drive applications.

Industrial gearboxes can operate under high loads, elevated temperatures, shock loading and continuous-duty conditions. Selecting the correct gear lubricant is therefore critical for protecting gears and bearings and maintaining reliable equipment operation.

Typical applications include:

  • Enclosed industrial gearboxes
  • Gear drives
  • Conveyor systems
  • Manufacturing machinery
  • Material-handling equipment
  • Heavy industrial equipment
  • Mining and processing machinery

The correct FUCHS gear oil depends on gearbox design, operating temperature, load, speed and the manufacturer's required lubricant specification.

FUCHS RENISO – Compressor & Refrigeration Oils

FUCHS RENISO is a specialised lubricant family developed primarily for refrigeration and air-conditioning compressor applications.

Refrigeration compressors place specific demands on lubricants because the oil must remain compatible with the refrigerant, operate across wide temperature ranges and provide reliable lubrication of compressor components.

Applications can include:

  • Refrigeration compressors
  • Industrial refrigeration
  • Air-conditioning systems
  • Chillers
  • Commercial refrigeration
  • Refrigeration plants

Correct RENISO product selection depends on the compressor manufacturer, refrigerant type, operating temperatures and required lubricant specification.

FUCHS RENOLIT – Industrial Greases

FUCHS RENOLIT is a major industrial grease family covering a wide range of bearing, machinery and component lubrication applications.

Industrial greases provide lubrication where oils may not be practical and can offer protection against wear, corrosion, water ingress and demanding operating conditions.

Applications include:

  • Electric motor bearings
  • Rolling-element bearings
  • Plain bearings
  • Industrial machinery
  • Motors and fans
  • Conveyors
  • Mining equipment
  • General plant maintenance

RENOLIT includes different grease formulations, base oils, thickeners and performance characteristics for specific applications.

Selecting the correct grease requires consideration of factors such as NLGI grade, bearing speed, temperature, load, water exposure and equipment manufacturer requirements.

LUBELINE™ can assist with selecting the appropriate FUCHS RENOLIT grease for your application.

FUCHS CASSIDA – Food-Grade Lubricants

FUCHS CASSIDA is the company's specialist range of lubricants designed for applications within the food, beverage and related processing industries.

Food-processing equipment requires lubricants with specific regulatory, hygiene and performance requirements.

CASSIDA products are used in applications such as:

  • Food-processing machinery
  • Beverage production equipment
  • Packaging machinery
  • Conveyor systems
  • Bakery equipment
  • Bottling and filling equipment
  • Pharmaceutical and associated processing environments

Where incidental food contact is possible, lubricant selection should be based on the appropriate food-grade classification and equipment requirements.

FUCHS Specialty Lubricants

FUCHS also manufactures a broad range of specialty lubricants for applications where conventional industrial oils and greases may not provide the required performance.

Specialty lubrication solutions can include products for:

  • High-temperature applications
  • Extreme-pressure applications
  • High-load machinery
  • Chain lubrication
  • Special bearings
  • Assembly and maintenance
  • Metalworking
  • Specialised manufacturing equipment

FUCHS specialty lubricants are developed around specific operating conditions and component requirements.

For demanding applications, LUBELINE™ can help identify the correct FUCHS product based on the machine, component, operating conditions and required specification.
