| The Permawick Company invented the revolutionary wicking / reservoir material over 50 years ago, and set the standard for long-life FHP motor lubrication. Permawick reservoir material is ideal for maximizing the use of oil in bearing designs, equal to 99% oil by volume. Using Permawick material is like pouring oil into the bearing reservoir. Permawick has a controlled release rate that meters oil to the bearing as needed. Maximum oil storage plus metered feed rates yields the longest possible bearing service life. Permawick is also the ideal material for re-circulating designs that run 20,000 to 40,000+ hours. |

| Permawick gels are manufactured under the trade name PermaGel. PermaGel is ideal for small FHP motors where 5,000 to 10,000 hours meets the application requirement. PermaGel can last in excess of 30,000 hours in properly designed end shields. PermaGel is deposited around the bearing and meters oil as needed. Like Permawick, PermaGel does not leak or separate. Unlike Permawick, PermaGel require little reservoir space. PermaGel can streamline bearing design to a minimum, cutting cost. PermaGel is a good backup strategy to guard against dry or partially impregnated bearings. PermaGel applications are quickly finding a place as opposite shaft end ball bearing replacements, where loads are typically only 1/6th that of the loaded end. |
|
| Permawick Bearing Lubricants are formulated for FHP motor use. Our bearing oils use additive packages that contain agents useful for promoting long bearing service life. Oxidation and rust inhibitors, anti-varnish and sludge agents, polarizing agents, load and lubricity agents are all brought to bear in blending the best engineered bearing oils. Permawick bearing lubricants are available in Group I, II and III base stocks, as well as exotics like flourinated stocks for super high performance. Your Permawick representative can help you select the right lubricant for your application. |
