Lubrication Engineering & Machine Design Consulting

Whether you have a quick product question, an unexplained damage or need support designing a new machine, we bring in-depth technical expertise and a clear eye for practical solutions.

Instead of an off-the-shelf recommendation, you get an assessment tailored to your machine, its operating conditions and your goals.

In day-to-day operation, machines and materials are exposed to mechanical, thermal, chemical and tribological stress. This can quickly lead to fractures, corrosion, friction and, above all, wear. High temperatures in particular often add tribological stress. The right lubricant, the correct dosage and proper application help prevent damage caused by incorrect loading or overloading.

Even with the best prevention, machines and production lines don’t always run smoothly. Technical processes are highly complex, components and their requirements vary widely, and material properties are multi-layered. In our experience, the devil is usually in the details.

As an independent partner, NEUKIRCH advises professionals in development, design engineering, maintenance, purchasing and quality assurance, as well as senior management.

Our Services

For more than 30 years,we’ve been supporting industrial companies with the lubrication of machine elements.
We can only develop tailored solutions once we understand your current situation and your objectives.

Product Selection & Quick Solutions

Urgent need, supply shortage or unsure which product to choose? We review your application, inventory and operating conditions and give you a well-founded recommendation, quickly and practically.

Machine Design & Engineering

Get lubrication right from the start. We support you with lubricant selection, sizing and interval planning, so tribology is factored in from the planning stage.

Failure Analysis & Troubleshooting

Wear or unexplained damages?
We analyze tribological factors, assess the role of lubrication and identify root causes  by phone, online or on site.

Lubrication schedules & Documentation

Missing documentation or unclear intervals? We map lubrication points, define quantities and create clear, traceable lubrication schedules. Including for older or imported equipment.

Optimisation & Automation

Too many products or too much manual work?
We reduce complexity, develop lubricant supply concepts and evaluate cost-effective opportunities for automation.

consulting first, products second.

Whether it’s an emergency, a product change, troubleshooting or strategic planning, we’re your technical partner every step of the way.

About NEUKIRCH

Driven by Engineering and Tribology

That hasn’t changed since we founded the company in 2001, and it’s something our customers value. Whether in mechanical engineering and automotive, building materials and packaging, aerospace or the food industry, NEUKIRCH has been the go-to partner for lubrication technology for more than 30 years, serving companies across industry, the skilled trades and manufacturing.
Every product is tested in-house to ensure reliable performance under extreme conditions.

You tell us your requirements, and we deliver the right solution: precise and practical.

From high-temperature applications to food processing: our products perform where failure is not an option.

NEUKIRCH stands for lubrication solutions with real technical depth and long-term reliability.

Common Challenges We Help With

In industrial practice, questions often come up at short notice and under time pressure. At the same time, lubrication and tribology are complex and multi-layered.

We help you assess technical issues systematically and make sound decisions, whether it’s an urgent one-off question or long-term strategic planning.

We review your application, current stock and operating conditions such as temperature and load, and give you a well-founded recommendation promptly, by phone or in a virtual meeting. You get a specific solution matched to your machine rather than a generic answer. You’ll also browse a selection of our products in our product catalogue.

We evaluate technically suitable alternatives under real operating conditions, not just on the basis of the data sheet. We take your specific application and compatibility with existing materials into account. This way, you avoid supply bottlenecks without compromising on lubrication quality.

Then we get to the actual cause. We analyze the tribological factors, from friction and load to the amount of lubricant applied, and assess whether and how lubrication is contributing to the problem. Depending on the case, we resolve it by phone, virtually or on site. You’ll find real-world examples in our case studies.

We record all relevant lubrication points on your equipment, define the right quantities and intervals, and turn them into a clear, documented structure. This also works for older or imported machines without existing documentation. The result is a clear, practical lubrication schedule your team can follow. If needed, our service team can also support maintenance on site.

We support you from the planning phase with lubricant selection, sizing and interval planning, so tribology is built in from the start instead of corrected later. This saves time and prevents costly design mistakes. Our 30+ years of experience in mechanical engineering, automotive and other industries feeds directly into your design.

We reduce the number of lubricants in use where technically feasible and develop clear supply concepts. We also evaluate whether cost-effective automation solutions are worthwhile to permanently reduce manual effort. The result: less complexity and planned rather than reactive maintenance.
