The SKF lubrication line holds three different things under one title: greases, automatic lubricators and the tools used to apply the lubricant. Greases are identified by a code starting with LG; the rest of the part number gives the grade and the pack. Separating the product from its pack size is the first step to ordering correctly.

In LGMT 2/0.4, LGMT is the grease; the 2 that follows is its consistency grade and the number after the slash is the pack size in kilograms. LGMT 3/1 is the same family in a firmer grade and in a one kilogram pack: it is not just a change of pack. When copying the code, keep the grade next to the letters.
LGEP 2/5 and LGHP 2/1 are other greases, each with its own thickener and base oil, intended for different operating conditions. Two greases of the same grade are not equivalent because they share a number. Codes that start with other letters are equipment: TLGB 20, for example, is a battery-driven grease gun, not a lubricant.
MR's catalog holds 411 SKF grease and lubrication references. The greases with the most pack sizes are LGMT (general purpose) and LGWA (high loads, wide temperature range), followed by LGWM (extreme pressure, low temperature), LGHB, LGEP and LGHP (high temperature); LAGD references are automatic lubricators supplied filled with one of these greases.
A grease is chosen for the temperature, speed and load of the bearing it lubricates, and for what surrounds it: water, dust, vibration. An electric motor, a conveyor housing and a trailer wheel call for different greases even in the same plant. If the equipment maker specifies a grease, that takes priority.
Before changing grease, find out which one was there. Not all of them can be mixed: some thickeners are incompatible with each other and the mixture softens or hardens. When the previous grease is unknown, the prudent step is to clean and relubricate completely. Quantity matters too: an over-greased bearing runs hot.
Send us the complete code with grade and pack, and how many units you need. If you do not know which one applies, tell us what is lubricated (bearing type and size), its speed, the operating temperature, whether there is water or dust and which grease was in use. Stating whether you apply it with a manual gun, a battery gun or a centralized system defines the pack. For greasing equipment, the code is enough.
They belong to the same family with different consistency grades. Keep the one the equipment calls for.
The pack size. The grease is the same in any of its packs.
Not without checking that they are compatible. If in doubt, clean the point before changing.

Choosing the right grease or oil for a bearing or chain is as important as choosing the part itself: the wrong grease for the operating temperature or speed can ruin a new bearing in a short time, while proper lubrication greatly extends its service life.

The SKF TLGB 20 battery grease gun is a portable power tool that applies lubricant in a controlled way without manual effort. It is used in maintenance tasks where bearings, bushings, joints and lubrication points in general need to be greased. Its battery-powered design makes work easier at height or in hard-to-reach places, and the TLGB series also includes accessories such as batteries, chargers and hoses to complete the kit.
The SKF LAPN grease nipple is a fitting mounted at lubrication points to inject grease or oil with a grease gun or lubricator. Its function is to facilitate periodic maintenance of bearings, bushings and guides, avoiding disassembly. The LAPN series covers different threads, metric or gas, depending on the suffix. MR Accesorios Industriales carries this line as a brand, with advice to choose the correct nipple according to the housing thread.
Just the manufacturer part number is enough: we will quote it and provide dimensions and equivalents via WhatsApp or email.
