Re: lube

Does DuPont do business there? Their Krytox line of lubricants work well.
Also, we used SuperLube oiler pens successfully in some applications, and the one time I pulled the label off of one of them the default printing on the body of the thing appeared to be in German. But I only took three semesters of German language classes in high school back in the '70s and haven't spoken more than a couple of sentences of that language since, so I'm probably wrong there.

I'm sure they do, they're a big enough company.

I will say... It's not cheap. But it is DuPont

Blackcat: thank you, but none of the products are available in Belgium, Germany or Netherlands.

Anyone knows?

Re: lube

Maybe someone can tell me what the hell I'm supposed to use this "drysurf" on, since I have to shake the bottle once a week to separate it anyway, I might as well use it. There's a technical bulletin about it, I'm certain of that, just not certain how to find it. For having damn near all the technical information about the products available on the website, you'd think it would be easier to navigate.

It was initially sent out to lubricate the fusers on the C452 I think. I don't have any C452s so I use it for other things. I had a car window that was very slow going up and down, so, I squirted some Drysurf between the glass and frame and it worked great. Window now goes up and down smoothly. That was in the summer and still working. Seems to be good stuff.

Re: lube

it MIGHT stop the squeaks .. but it wilL MUCK up the damn unit. It melts plastic.. it will destroy the clutches and if it drips on a board.. it will fry it. Brass bushings it will dry them out.

Not saying you use wd40. Just being a little sarcastic. If it stopped the squeak, s'all good! Small price to pay to replace a few clutches and a DC controller

So, by better stuff and when you still use WD-40, give it to your mother in law !!!

Re: lube

Please don't spray WD 40 willy nilly through out the back of the copier trying to rid the machine of that mysterious squeak........all the clutches suddenly stop working.

Been a while since it was commonplace. But every two or three weeks I always ran into the "guy who can fix anything" in the office and always insisted on using wd 40 on IBM selectrics. Might get them to work for a little bit. But it would gum the keylevers up and really really screw up all of the greased clutches. The IBM #23 grease was used as a drive grease in the cycle clutch and the shift clutches. Even more fun was when they used wd 40 on antique manual typewriters. Not a good idea. Ninety year old metal does not like penetrating "lubricants" Didn't really cause breakage, but a lot of the typebars and segments ended up with pitted metal.

Sorry Mark. I won't be able to help you find lubricants in Belgium. Have you thought about ordering off the internet? I do believe sellers in other countries ship to Belgium.

Re: lube

Note: WD40 is not a lubricant. It's good for cleaning rubber rollers or toner from metal fuser guides, but attacks plastics. So if you choose to clean rollers with it don't get it on anything plastic. Please don't spray the stuff wholesale on drive components. The plastic parts will melt.

Re: lube

I like DuPont's krytox line. Gpl105 is a light oil, gpl 205 is a grease.
