Merrind ® Lean lubrication: practicing the path of sustainable development with specialization

2025-09-15

In the long course of human civilization's evolution, we are standing at a critical juncture where we have achieved what we did before. Every major change is closely linked to the development and utilization of energy. Faced with the severe challenge of global climate change, sustainable development has become the inevitable path for all mankind, and it is also a profound change that concerns the future destiny of humanity. With the rapid development of modern industry, energy conservation and consumption reduction have become important issues in the industrial field. The consensus of industrial enterprises on sustainable development goals continues to deepen. Practicing low-carbon green technologies not only makes enterprises a "good currency" that actively undertakes social responsibility, but also helps them improve quality and efficiency, demonstrate more advantages in the market, and drive out the "bad currency" that is extensive, low-quality, environmentally conscious, and wasteful.

In recent years, in the transformation and upgrading of China's manufacturing industry, industrial robots, as the "pearl at the top of the manufacturing crown", have become an important technological support and core equipment asset of industrial enterprises in modern industrial manufacturing. As an indispensable lubricating medium in industrial robot equipment, the performance of industrial robot specific lubricating grease is closely related to the improvement of equipment operating efficiency, the extension of equipment service life, and the high or low energy consumption. The lubrication parts of industrial robot equipment include gearbox, connecting rod joint, balance cylinder, guide rail, screw, etc. Among these lubrication parts, the most critical is the gearbox of the gearbox. The gearbox of the gearbox is the joint of the robot. Generally, a robot has 4-6 gearboxes, which together with servo motors form the mechanical transmission system of the robot. It is also the core and key technology of the robot, with advanced manufacturing and the greatest value. The application conditions of robots are complex, and the lubrication environment of gearbox components such as thin-walled angular contact bearings and planetary gears, thin-walled bearing outer rings and internal assembly contact of flexible wheels is harsh. It usually manifests as a lubrication state where two or more forms of lubrication, such as fluid lubrication and boundary lubrication, coexist (i.e. mixed lubrication). The lubrication type of robots has a certain impact on the degree of mechanical wear, and the significant feature of the lubrication system of the gearbox is that the meshing motion of the gears is a combination of rolling and sliding, resulting in the coexistence of fluid dynamic pressure lubrication, elastic fluid dynamic pressure lubrication, mixed lubrication, and boundary lubrication states. Require sufficient lubrication of gears to reduce friction and prevent damage such as wear, pitting, abrasion, bonding, and fracture. Lubricants are like the blood circulating in the entire gearbox system, playing a role in transmitting power, lubrication, cooling, reducing friction, rust prevention, corrosion prevention, and cleaning metal debris and impurities on the surface of the parts inside the gearbox.

After nearly 20 years of development, domestic industrial robots have become the world's largest application market. There are many types, models, and manufacturers of robots, resulting in significant differences in grease materials and grades, leading to the use of 2-4 types of lubrication products for one robot brand. Enterprise equipment management personnel mainly follow the lubricating oil model and corresponding oil dosage required in the equipment manufacturer's user manual. Many equipment manufacturers do not name oil grades according to international industry standards and use spare part numbers instead of oil brand numbers, resulting in information barriers. For some old robots, there is still a situation of oil product model elimination or mismatch, especially for precision lubrication components of robot reducers and gearboxes. The ordinary performance lubrication products recommended by equipment manufacturers are not suitable for harsh operating conditions of the equipment (such as recommending mineral type gear oil and non long-life lubricating grease). At present, the mainstream robot application equipment is mainly composed of foreign brands, such as ABB, FANUC, KUKA, Yaskawa, Kawasaki, STAUBLI, etc. These brands come from multiple countries such as Sweden, Japan, Germany, South Korea, etc. Each equipment manufacturer has designated or recommended oil for the equipment, which is expensive, diverse in variety and brand, and there is currently no unified lubrication quality technical standard in China. Some special oil products must be purchased through foreign sales channels, and the wide variety of lubricating oils causes an increase in management costs for enterprises. It is also easy to add the wrong oil and use it indiscriminately. The domestic substitution of robot lubricating grease can not only reduce the types of oil procurement, but also effectively reduce the lubrication and maintenance costs of enterprises.

MerRIND ® The brand was founded in 2008, MerRIND ® Long term focus on lean lubrication management of high-performance industrial robots, relying on long-term practice and knowledge engineering in the industry, providing innovative products and professional technology to help partners enhance their competitiveness in the market. In the field of industrial robot lubrication, based on dataization and engineering, after long-term practice, through the service-oriented manufacturing model of "R&D+product+technology+data+engineering", we have launched the fully synthetic, high-performance, lean and optimized MerRIND ® Industrial robot specific grease packaging products meet the demanding lubrication needs of industrial robot equipment, with robots as the unit and humanized design packaging, precise to the joint axis of MerRIND ® The lean grease package for industrial robots has improved the maintenance efficiency of robot engineers, reduced environmental pollution during equipment maintenance, lowered the risk of direct contact between on-site maintenance personnel and lubricating oil, and achieved excellent quality. The lean selection of specialized grease package products not only meets the technical requirements of equipment, but also helps enterprises reduce the variety and inventory of oil products, directly reducing procurement and management costs, eliminating unnecessary waste, and avoiding the possibility of misuse of lubricating grease.

After long-term unremitting efforts and persistence, MerRIND ® The lean grease package for industrial robots has become an essential professional maintenance lubricant trusted and recognized by industrial robot user enterprises.
