ISO 6743-2 Lubricants - Industrial Lubricants and Related Products - Test for Family F

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of ISO 6743-2 testing. This part of ISO 6743 establishes the detailed classification of the F family, which belongs to the L class (lubricants, industrial oils and related products) and should be read in conjunction with ISO 6743-0.

ISO 6743-2 Lubricants - Industrial Lubricants and Related Products - Test for Family F

ISO 6743-2 is an international standard that provides a classification system for lubricants, industrial oils and related products, especially those in Class L. Class L lubricants are used to reduce friction and wear in industrial applications such as machinery and equipment.

Part 6743 of ISO 2-2, Family F, focuses specifically on lubricants used in spindle bearings, bearings and associated clutches. These components are critical to the trouble-free operation of machinery and equipment, and the correct selection and application of lubricants can help extend their service life and reduce maintenance costs.

The F Family in Chapter 2 classifies lubricants for bearings, bearings and related couplings into 10 categories based on their composition and intended use.

These categories include:

  • FA: Mineral oil-based lubricants for plain and roller bearings;
  • FB: Synthetic lubricants for plain and roller bearings;
  • FC: Lubricating greases for plain and roller bearings;
  • FD: Water resistant lubricating greases for plain and roller bearings;
  • FE: Solid lubricants for plain and roller bearings;
  • FF: Lubricants for bearings;
  • FG: Lubricants for bearings and clutches used in textile machinery;
  • FH: Lubricants for bearings and couplings used in food processing machinery;
  • FJ: Lubricants for bearings and clutches used in aircraft engines;
  • FK: Various lubricants for bearings and clutches.

Each of these categories is further subdivided based on specific characteristics such as viscosity, load carrying capacity and performance characteristics.

By using ISO 6743-2, manufacturers and users can ensure they are using the appropriate lubricant for their specific application, which can help extend the life of shaft bearings, bearings and associated clutches and reduce maintenance costs. It also helps improve safety and performance by providing standardized information on the oil's intended use and performance characteristics.
