SKF LAGD 400
7.1 Basic grease selection
U
se SKF LGMT 2 (all-purpose grease) provided with the lubricator unless:
Bearing temperature continuously
> 100 °C (212 °F) then use LGHP 2
(high temperature grease)
Ambient temperature -50 °C (-58 °F)
or expected bearing temperature
< 50 °C (122 °F) then use LGLT 2
(low temperature grease)
Shock loads, heavy loads, vibrations then use LGEP 2
(extreme pressure grease)
Food processing industry then use LGFP 2
(food compatible grease)
Demands for biodegradable
Low toxicity grease then use LGGB 2
(green grease)
Notes:
• For areas with relatively high ambient temperatures or for large size bearings,
use LGMT 3 instead of LGMT 2.
• For special operating conditions, refer to the range of special SKF bearing greases
below.
7.2 Special bearing greases
Special Description Typical uses
LGEV 2 extremely high viscosity
with solid lubricants large size spherical
roller bearings
LGHB 2 EP high viscosity,
high temperature
lubricant plain bearings,
spherical roller bearings
at high temperatures
LGWM 1 extreme pressure
low temperature windmills, slewing rings
LGEM 2 high viscosity plus
solid lubricants heavy duty grease also
used for CV joints
LGWA 2 wide temperature range fans, electric motors &
conveyors
