Tribology
Tribology is concerned with the scientific characterisation of friction, wear and lubrication and the development of technologies serving to optimise frictional processes.
A distinction is made between "tribomechanical" and "tribochemical" effects.

Several billion Euros of economic losses are caused every year through friction and wear. In order to reduce these cost extensive tribological basic research is carried out. On this basis, companies then occupy themselves with specific knowledge, such as OKS Spezialschmierstoffe GmbH with the development of high-performance lubricants.

In many sectors, standards have been defined that apply to lubrication technology. We have compiled a list of these for your convenience. The relevant test procedures are also presented.

Improved performance through additives
Additives optimize lubricants for the application concerned, improving corrosion and wear protection, emergency running properties, oxidation stability, temperature characteristics and wetting behaviour.
