Lube-keeper is the decisive factor for long life! CKD’s mystery

CKD products come with questions like, "What does it mean?" or “What does that do?” Let me introduce you to one of the mysteries of the "Lube-Keeping Structure."

Pneumatic cylinders are used in various industries, including automobile, machine tools, and food manufacturing processes. They are used in different environments, and in some cases, service-life may be shorter than expected.

For long-term use, it is important to prevent deterioration of the rod sliding section. Otherwise, the performance will drop due to lack of grease or the accumulation of wear powder. Therefore, we have developed the "Lube-keeper structure", a fiber assembly that can maintain the lubrication with CKD's proprietary structure. This "lube-keeping structure" evenly and stably applies lubricant such as grease. The dust is further removed from the fibers.

Ultra dry air is used in the manufacturing process of rechargeable batteries. This Lube-Keeper can continuously replenish the volatilization of grease oil due to dry air, contributing to the improvement of durability.

CKD's unique word "lube keeping structure." This answers one of CKD's mysteries.
