Acorn Industrial Services supplies a wide range of lubricants for industrial, engineering, manufacturing, maintenance and machinery applications. Our lubricant range includes oils, greases, sprays, pastes and specialist lubrication products designed to reduce friction, protect components, prevent wear and improve equipment reliability.
Whether you need lubricants for bearings, chains, gears, slides, open gears, food-grade applications or general machinery maintenance, Acorn can help you source the right product for your operating environment.
Lubricants are essential for keeping machinery and mechanical components operating smoothly. They help reduce friction, minimise wear, protect against corrosion, dissipate heat and extend the service life of equipment. At Acorn Industrial Services, we supply industrial lubricants for a wide range of sectors, including manufacturing, food and beverage production, packaging, agriculture, automotive, construction, quarrying, steel production and general MRO.
Our lubricant range is suitable for both planned maintenance and urgent breakdown support, helping customers keep equipment moving and reduce unplanned downtime.
Lubrication solutions maximise your bearings service life.
Selecting bearing grease suitable for the application is critical to achieving optimum performance.
For example, applications which are operating under high temperatures need a specialist high temperature lubricant, such as SKF LGHP 2.
Additionally, the quantity of grease and the lubrication method used can positively influence the service life of the bearing. Too much grease can cause a seal failure, whereas too little grease can cause excessive wear and premature component failure.
Choosing the correct lubricant depends on the component type, operating speed, load, temperature, environment, lubrication method and manufacturer recommendations. The wrong lubricant can lead to premature wear, overheating, contamination, reduced efficiency or equipment failure.
