DANGER
Risk of explosion due to an unsuitable lubricant
Using a lubricant that is not approved for use in potentially explosive atmospheres will
cause an explosion.
• Use a lubricant that is approved for use in potentially explosive atmospheres.
• Observe country-specific regulations.
• Observe the manufacturer’s instructions on handling the lubricant.
• Observe all lubricant specifications.
NOTICE
Coupling damage due to impairment of the lubricant characteristics
Do not mix different lubricants.
If you still want to mix different lubricants, ask the manufacturer about how compatible the
lubricants are with each other. Contact the supplier of the new lubricant to confirm the
compatibility of the new lubricant with the old one in writing.
Lubricant requirements
For ZAPEX couplings, only greases which contain active substances for improving corrosion
protection and resistance to ageing as well as reducing wear in the mixed friction area are
permitted.
• Only use greases that are suitable for sealing rings made of elastomer materials NBR,
FKM and FPM.
• Only use greases that are suitable for liquid seals made of Loctite5910 or Loctite5922.
Special grease requirements:
• Greases must be produced using mineral oil.
• Use greases of viscosity class NLGI 00 or NLGI 0 according to DIN 51818.
• Use greases of viscosity class NLGI 00 or NLGI 0 at an ambient temperature of -10°C
to +80°C.
