HMC Lubes

When you are in need of a top quality lube for your motor, bearing, or wheel, trust Holmes Motion Control to deliver! Our formulas are blended for your specific needs, just select your application and we will do the rest! We use the highest quality full synthetics for bearing and bushing use, and our own special blend for wheel building use. Commutator lube and Metal Penetrating oil are currently petrol based. All lubes are packaged in a 1/2 ounce needle tip bottle for precise metered application.

Available lubes:
Bearing oil
Bearing oil- Winter blend
Bushing oil and V-Block oil
Bushing oil- Winter blend
Wheelbuilding oil
Metal Penetrating oil
Commutator lube (comm drops)

Empty bottles are also available if you need a needle oiler and prefer to use your own blend.

Instructions:

Bearing and bushing oil should be applied to clean bearings. Soak new bearings in a solvent to disperse the factory grease. One to two drops on each bearing is enough for small parts, and increase the application as needed for larger parts. We recommend the Winter blend for bearing and bushing temperatures below 50f (10C). When the bearing or bushing temperature will rise above 50f during use, the standard blend will suffice.

Wheel building oil aids in the construction of wheels by lowering the friction between nipple, spoke, and rim. This allows for even building with less torque needed on the nipple. Apply one drop to the junction of parts before bringing a wheel to full tension. Do not apply to spoke threads if another spoke prep is being used.

Metal penetrating oil can act as both lubricant and protector, but is of higher viscosity than our bearing and bushing oils. We recommend a 30 minute soak when used for penetrating duty. Ensure new parts are fully clean and that all other oil is removed before application. It can be used in conjunction with our bearing and bushing oil.

Commutator lube should only be applied to a fully broken in and clean comm. Otherwise known as Comm Drops, this will increase power and motor life. We recommend 1/2 to 1 drops applied directly to the commutator. The comm should be cleaned after every run, with reapplication after each cleaning. If proper cleaning is not adhered to, the motor will wear faster and performance will suffer quickly.
