lubricants was Re: Re: spindle motors

Smoke,

For high pressure, high speed, high temperatures, Krytox. A trade
name for a NASA lubricant "privatized" by DuPont ??

There are a couple of others I used to read about in NASA TECH NEWS.
They get developed for the space program, and then released to the
rest of us under licensing with some private company. I remember
thinking that some of the new "automotive engine 'snake' oils" might
actually work if they are using some of these modern, manufactured
lubricants...

I mention Krytox because it's available in small quantities. But I'd
like to see someone try the 'Dura-lube' type stuff in some spindles???
Or know if someone has???

Hope this helps.

P.S. I think you meant Marcus' spindle?
