SKF LGEV grease is a high-performance lubricating grease formulated for bearings subjected to high loads and severe conditions. Its composition with lithium complex soap and EP additives makes it suitable for applications where the lubricating film must remain stable even under vibration or demanding temperatures. It is available in containers of different sizes, identified by the numerical suffix that indicates the quantity. It is a reliable option for industrial maintenance and equipment operating continuously.

The LGEV designation is complemented by a number that indicates the container size. For example, LGEV 2/5 corresponds to a 5-unit or 5 kg container, while LGEV 2/18, LGEV 2/50 and LGEV 2/180 scale to larger presentations. The LGEV code identifies the SKF grease category for high loads, and the number after the slash indicates the quantity or format. When requesting a quote, it is best to provide the complete code to ensure the desired container.

In Argentine industry, this grease is used in bearings of electric motors, gearboxes, pumps, fans and transmission equipment. It is common in cement, steel, paper and food plants, where equipment operates under heavy loads and variable temperatures. It is also used in agricultural machinery and in large bearings that require long-lasting lubrication resistant to water washout.

To select the right grease, take into account the operating temperature, bearing speed and load type. LGEV is a lithium complex base grease with EP additives, suitable for continuous temperatures up to 150 °C. During assembly, make sure to clean the housing and apply the correct amount, generally between 30% and 50% of the bearing free space. Avoid mixing with greases of incompatible base.

SKF LGEV greases can be interchanged with other brands offering similar specifications of NLGI 2 consistency and lithium complex base. However, before replacing one grease with another, check the compatibility of soaps and additives to avoid negative effects.
