AXEL is looking for a driven and creative Development Engineer to be part of the Technical Department in Nol, Sweden (25 km North of Gothenburg). The position includes the formulation of new greases, improvements of existing products or production processes, and other tasks supporting the whole AXEL Group.
Electric vehicle motors in e-drivetrains are equipped with grease-lubricated bearings operating at both low and high speeds with frequent speed changes. The grease-bearing system must secure a long lifespan and low frictional torque to improve efficiency and sustainability.
The earlier success of our Calcium soap thickened products triggered ambitious plans at AXEL to provide biodegradable, non-toxic, highly renewable raw material containing Lithium Complex products for versatile applications.
Rail switches are just one example of many applications referred to as total loss lubrication systems meaning that, due to their open design and the exposed conditions of operation, lubricant loss to the surrounding environment is not only highly likely but inevitable.
Conditions in continuous casting test lubrication to the limit. The working temperature of the bearings is 180°C, sometimes rising to 300°C. Heavy loads, dust everywhere, and steam from the cooling water make the challenge even greater. And, as if that wasn’t enough, the bearings are lubricated via a central system with hundreds of metres of pipes – some just a few millimetres in diameter.
Yet another year is closing on us – and what a year it has been! A roller coaster ride is a fitting analogy with all the turns, ups, and downs.
AXEL has long established itself as a supporter of initiatives aimed at reducing the impact on our environment through its’ focused development of a wide range of environmentally sensitive greases.
According to Websters, Proactive is defined as acting in anticipation of future problems, needs, or changes.
At AXEL, a proactive approach reinforces our commitment to employee, contractor, and visitor safety. An example of this is our Safe Work Permit Program that covers Hot Work, Confined Space, and Lockout Tagout (LOTO). Safe work permits are an essential part of keeping employees and contractors safe while performing hazardous tasks.
We are happy and grateful for our existing and new customers who trust and partner with us for their grease business needs. As we experience high demand and growth, we continue to hire qualified professionals to our AXEL Americas Team across our three facilities in Tulsa, Schertz, and Rosedale. We welcome all our new team members and wish them the best of success with their responsibilities and careers!
Investments include the largest stainless-steel Contactor ever built, increased production, high-speed filling lines, and storage capacity.
