lubrication guns.
CASE LOTS —
10 – 14 oz. cartridges, 60 – 14 oz. cartridges.
35 lb. (16 Kg)PAILS — Ideal for larger size couplings or
many smaller sizes.
120 lb. (54 Kg) KEG — For plants with many small couplings
or large size couplings. Best for hand packing.
400 lb. DRUMS — For plants with a pressurized lubrication system.
General Purpose Grease
Bi-annual Lubrication
—
The following specifications and
lubricants for general purpose grease apply to gear couplings
that are lubricated bi-annually and operate within ambient
temperatures of –30°F (–34°C) to 200°F (93°C). For
temperatures beyond this range, consult the Factory. For
normal service, use a NLGI #1 extreme pressure (EP) grease
EXCEPT when the coupling speed is less than the minimum
specified in Table 4, Page 6. At these lower speeds, use a
NLGI #0 extreme pressure (EP) grease. When one or more
gear couplings in an application require NLGI #0 grease, the
same grease may be used in all of the couplings. DO NOT
use cup grease.
If coupling leaks grease, is exposed to extreme temperatures,
excessive moisture or experiences frequent reversals or axial
movements; more frequent lubrication may be required.
Lubricants listed in Tables 1, 2 & 3 on Page 3 are typical products
only and should not be construed as exclusive recommendations.
Specifications — General Purpose
Coupling Lubricants
The values shown are typical and slight variations are permissible.
DROPPING POINT — 300°F (149°C) or higher.
CONSISTENCY — See Table 1 or 2 on Page 3.
SEPARATION AND RESISTANCE — Low oil separation rate
and high resistance to separation from centrifuging.
LIQUID CONSTITUENT — Possess good lubricating
properties . . . equivalent to a high quality, well refined
petroleum oil with EP additives..
INACTIVE — Must not corrode steel or cause swelling or
deterioration of synthetic seals.
CLEAN — Free from foreign inclusions.
