Lubricants for maximum plant availability
Whether in machining centres, production cells or complete production lines: mechanical and plant engineering places the highest demands on lubricants. Bearings, guide systems and hydraulic drives are subjected to high pressures, strong shear forces and extreme temperature fluctuations. To ensure process stability and longevity in these demanding environments, lubricants must reduce friction and thermal stress, prevent wear and ensure reliable power transmission.
All product groups are already listed. Until the new online shop is available, the links for each group will direct you to the central product list. This way, you can keep track of everything at all times. Further documentation can be found on myChemicals - your personal platform for technical data sheets, brochures and more.
Product groups: Mechanical and plant engineering
Lubricant solutions that deliver consistent performance improve plant availability, support the reliable operation of critical systems and contribute to the longevity of machinery and production units – resulting in reduced downtime and extended maintenance intervals in day-to-day machine operation.
Benefits at a glance
- Reliable plant operation even under high loads: lubricants from laemmle-chemicals ensure consistent power transmission and precise motion control in hydraulic, spindle and gear systems – even with fluctuating temperatures and long operating times.
- Longer component service life and reduced maintenance costs: Targeted protection against micro-pitting, friction corrosion and material fatigue extends relubrication intervals, reduces the need for component replacement and prevents unplanned downtime.
- Consistent lubrication performance under demanding conditions: Formulations that remain stable under pressure and temperature guarantee performance during continuous thermal stress, intermittent use and demanding operating cycles.
- Reduced energy consumption through low-friction processes: Uniform sliding behaviour in guide and positioning units reduces energy requirements and prevents the stick-slip effect.
- Process reliability during long operating cycles: Consistent lubrication performance even under intermittent loads and fluctuating environmental conditions.
- Optimised maintenance and servicing processes: Customised lubrication schedules and digital tools such as RMT simplify planning, documentation and traceability. On-site services such as professional oil sampling, hydraulic oil filtration and the collection of used oil ensure smooth operation. Clear product labelling and compatible container sizes make practical application easier – ensuring efficient and safe day-to-day operations.
- Expert advice & partnership: A dedicated contact person, proactive recommendations for product changes or optimisations.
Applications and Solutions
Optimally tailored lubricants are essential for the reliable and efficient operation of machinery and plant. Precisely formulated solutions from laemmle-chemicals ensure reliable protection, reduced friction and long-term process reliability:
- Hydraulic systems in machinery and plant: High-performance hydraulic oils with pressure- and temperature-stable formulations ensure consistent power transmission, reduce pressure losses and protect against cavitation – for reliable processes even under the most extreme loads.
- Industrial gearboxes and drive components: High-load-capacity gear oils prevent micropitting and reduce energy losses – for durable and energy-efficient drive units.
- Spindle bearings and high-speed drives: Specialised spindle oils minimise friction losses, dissipate heat efficiently and ensure precise motion sequences – crucial for quality in high-speed machining.
- Machining and forming processes: Precisely tailored cooling lubricants improve heat dissipation, minimise tool wear and ensure consistent surface quality during demanding machining operations.
- Compressor and rotary compressor systems: Oxidation-stable compressor oils ensure constant pressure conditions, prevent deposits and extend the service life of components – for energy-efficient, low-maintenance operation even under high loads.
- Vacuum pump and compressed air systems: Specially developed compressed air and vacuum pump oils ensure reliable compression, thermal stability and low-oil-mist processes – for a reliable supply and maximum plant efficiency.
- Chain lubrication under thermal and mechanical stress: Chain lubricants with excellent adhesion protect moving drive chains in production lines or conveyor systems against wear, resin formation and expansion – even at high temperatures.
- Heat transfer systems and heating coils: Temperature-resistant heat transfer oils ensure stable heat transfer, minimise deposits and enable long-term, stable operation in industrial heating and cooling systems.
- Bearings, plain guides and linear guides: High-performance greases and sprays ensure low friction, protect against corrosion and extend maintenance intervals – for maximum process reliability in moving assemblies.
- Maintenance and servicing: Specialised lubricants, cleaning agents and protective coatings extend the service life of machine components, reduce unplanned downtime and simplify maintenance – ensuring sustainable and cost-effective operation.

Coolant management
In collaboration with Brisco Systems, we ensure that your machine tools are supplied with the optimum amount of cooling lubricant at all times. This enhances process reliability in your operation – even during unmanned shifts. Thanks to comprehensive real-time monitoring, all relevant KSS parameters – such as pH, concentration, electrical conductivity, temperature and bacterial growth – are precisely controlled. The result: reduced tooling costs and lower KSS consumption ensure more cost-effective operation. We would be happy to advise you on request and demonstrate pilot systems in action so that you can see the benefits for yourself.
