Notice on prohibition of mixing reducer grease (VIGO + EUREKA)

· One min read

EUREKA 114 was developed to solve the initial noise problem of  VIGO RE 0 . , VIGO This product has greatly improved initial test operation noise compared to grease. However, please be aware that mixing the above greases together in the same reducer may cause some noise.

1. Problem

  • VIGO + EUREKA Noise occurs when mixed oil
  • Noise persists when the ratio of VIGO or EUREKA is more than 20%

2. History

The grease for the reducer applied to our robots is as follows.

  • VIGO RE 0: Period of use 2014 ~ 2020.9 (based on HS165, HS220)
  • EUREKA 114: Period of use 2020.9 ~ (based on HS220)

3. There is no major problem if you inject it after removing the existing grease.

If you are working with mixed grease, please replace it using the method below.

  • Residual amount suggested by manufacturer: 10% (Noise usually disappears when less than 20%)
  • In order to maintain the remaining oil amount below 10% during actual grease replacement work, the push method must be performed more than 3 times.
