Klübersynth® UH1 6 oils
Synthetic gear and high-temperature oils for the
food-processing and pharmaceutical industries
Benefits for your application
• The oils meet the requirements according to DIN 51 517 – 03, CLP
• Registered by NSF as H1 lubricants and in compliance with the German Food and Feed Act,
thus suitable for applications that may have incidental and technically unavoidable contact
with the food product
• Much longer service life than mineral oils due to the excellent ageing and oxidation resistance
of the base oil; thus maintenance intervals can be extended and in certain cases even
lifetime lubrication is possible
• Owing to the wide service temperature range it is possible in many cases to use just one
viscosity grade for both low and high temperatures
• The optimum friction behavior of the polyglycol base oil reduces power losses and improves
efficiency
• The good wear protection of both gears and rolling bearings ensure that the service life
calculated for the lubricated components is achieved.
• The excellent viscosity-temperature behavior supports the formation of a sufficient lubricating film
even at elevated and high temperatures.
• Seals made of 72 NBR 902 or 75 FKM 585 are resistant against Klübersynth UH1 6 oils.
• Approved by SEW Eurodrive, Getriebebau Nord, Stöber Antriebstechnik, Lenze,
ZAE Antriebstechnik Baldor, Rockwell Automation, Boston Gear, Bonfigliolo, Watt Drive etc.

Worksheet: selection of oil viscosity for gears
The manufacturer's instructions on oil viscosity take priority in any case. If the viscosity is not
calculated e.g. on the basis of the EHD theory, it can be selected in accordance with this
worksheet. Selection is based on DIN 51509, pt. 1 "Selection of lubricants for toothed gears".
All information in this worksheet applies only to Klübersynth UH1 6 oils. The differing viscosity-
temperature behaviour of these synthetic oils as compared to mineral oils has been taken into
account.
The correct viscosity must be selected independently for every gear stage, and a compromise is
required for multi-stage gears. The selection of the correct viscosity in accordance with this
worksheet is based on the oil's expected operation temperature, i.e. the oil sump temperature or the
temperature of the injected oil. This temperature is calculated by determining the gear's thermal
economy, taking into account the produced losses, or, in the case of gears already installed, by
measuring the temperature. It might be required to select a lower viscosity to ensure lubricant
supply during a cold start and at low ambient temperatures. In the individual case it is necessary to
check the viscosity at the existing starting temperature (especially in the case of oil circulation
lubrication), or to test the components at the expected starting temperature (especially in the case
of immersion lubrication).
The viscosity grade of the Klübersynth UH1 6 oils required for a gear stage is determined by
means of the Klüber viscosity index and the expected oil operating temperature using the
diagram of the last page.
