IQ and IQT actuators are factory filled for life with premium quality gear oil selected for the application. Standard oils are automotive grades easily available worldwide and have been used successfully for over 40 years. Oil lubrication out-performs grease over a wide temperature range and allows installation in any orientation. It has none of the problems associated with grease such as separation at elevated temperatures and "tunnelling" at lower temperatures where grease is thrown away from rotating components creating a void or tunnel in the grease around components that require lubrication.
| Range | Standard Oil | Standard Temp range | Option Low temp | Option Food Grade |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| IQ Pro | SAE80EP | -30°C to +70°C (-22°F to +158°F). | MOBIL SHC624 | Hydra Lube GB Heavy |
| IQT Pro | TEXACO 9330 +25% Kerosene | -30°C to +70°C (-22°F to +158°F). | TEXACO 9330 +75% BP SHF LT15 | Hydra Lube GB Medium |
Food grade
Lubricant is a synthetic, non-aromatic hydrocarbon mixture with PTFE and other additives. It does not contain chlorinated solvents. Food grade grease used in assembly and thrust bearings is Hydra Lube WIG Medium-HLGI-123.
