KOYO – Low-Friction Torque (LFT) Series introduces Koyo’s LFT technology for reducing churning and sliding losses. The catalog compares seal geometries, low‑viscosity greases and cage materials, quantifying temperature rise and energy savings in electric motors and automotive auxiliaries.
Content overview
- Low‑friction seals, optimized grease and cage materials.
- Comparative torque curves vs. standard designs.
- Thermal behavior and energy‑saving examples.
- Application notes for motors and auxiliaries.
How to use
- Define power loss/temperature targets.
- Select LFT type and verify compatibility with speed/loads.
- Check lubricant base oil viscosity and seal drag.
- Validate with temperature and power draw tests.
Best practices
- Avoid over‑filling grease; use precise quantities.
- Ensure shaft finish within seal specifications.
- Monitor motor current to confirm savings.
- Plan maintenance intervals from trend data.
