SKF LGMT grease is a general-purpose lubricating grease formulated for bearings. Its composition with mineral oil and lithium soap offers good thermal stability and water resistance, making it suitable for a wide variety of industrial applications. It is available in different consistency grades and pack sizes, allowing you to select the most convenient option for your equipment and working conditions. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies it as part of its grease and lubrication line.
The LGMT designation identifies the category of SKF greases for general applications. The number that follows indicates the consistency grade: LGMT 2 is softer and LGMT 3 is firmer. The suffix after the slash indicates the pack size in kilograms: for example, LGMT 2/0.2 and LGMT 2/0.4 are small packs, while LGMT 3/5, LGMT 3/18 and LGMT 3/180 are larger-capacity presentations. This nomenclature lets you quickly choose the product according to the lubrication method and the work volume.
This grease is used in bearings of electric motors, pumps, fans, conveyors and transmission equipment. It is common in industrial plants, metalworking shops, food and beverage, and in the maintenance of agricultural machinery. Its water resistance makes it suitable for humid environments or those with splashing. In Argentina, it is common in preventive maintenance of rotating equipment in cold storage plants, mills and process plants.
To select the right grade, take into account the rotation speed, operating temperature and bearing type. LGMT 2 is used in low and medium speed applications, while LGMT 3 is for lower speeds or higher loads. During assembly, make sure to clean the housing and apply the correct amount: over-greasing can raise the temperature. Check compatibility with the previous grease and, if necessary, purge the system before refilling.
SKF LGMT greases can be interchanged with other lithium greases of similar consistency and mineral base, but always verify chemical compatibility and temperature range. If the equipment has lifetime-sealed bearings, relubrication is not necessary. For special applications, consult equivalences with other brands. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies SKF and can advise you on the best option for your equipment.
