Lubrication

Glossary of bearing grease terms: thickeners and base oils with compatibility charts, viscosity, NLGI consistency, DIN 51825 classification, drop point and the standard grease performance tests.

Around 16% of premature bearing failures come from poor fitting or incorrect mounting. Cold, heat and hydraulic mounting methods, plus lubrication after mounting. Courtesy of SKF.

Which SKF bearing grease to use where: LGMT 2, LGMT 3, LGEP 2, LGFP 2, LGEM 2, LGEV 2, LGLT 2, LGGB 2, LGWM 1, LGWA 2, LGHB 2, LGHP 2 and LGET 2 with typical applications. Courtesy of SKF.

SKF Lubricants: the perfect solution for every application. Even the very best bearing can only show optimum performance when it is lubricated correctly…
