SKF LGWM 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 requiring pressure resistance and wear protection. It is available in different consistency grades and pack sizes, allowing you to select the appropriate variant according to the bearing type, rotational speed and lubrication method. MR Accesorios Industriales sells this line as part of its grease and lubrication offering for industrial maintenance.
The LGWM designation identifies this grease within the SKF line. The series examples show two key data points: the number following the letters indicates the consistency grade (for example, LGWM 1 and LGWM 2), and the number after the slash indicates the pack size in kilograms (0.4, 5, 18, 50, 180). Thus, LGWM 1/5 is a 5 kg pack of consistency 1, while LGWM 2/180 is a 180 kg pack of consistency 2. Knowing this logic allows you to request the exact code you need.
This grease is used in bearings of electric machines, pumps, fans, conveyor belts and power transmission equipment. It is common in food plants, cement plants, mining, steel and paper industries, where bearings operate under high loads, vibrations or humid environments. In Argentina, you will find it in production lines that require extended relubrication intervals and good mechanical stability. It is also applied in roller and ball bearings, both in new assembly and corrective maintenance.
To select the correct variant, take into account the bearing type, its rotational speed and the working temperature. The consistency grade influences pumpability: softer consistencies (such as 1) facilitate centralized lubrication, while firmer ones (such as 2) are suitable for manual lubrication or applications with high loads. Respect the recommended grease quantity: an excess can raise the temperature. Before applying, verify that the bearing is clean and that the sealing is compatible with the grease.
SKF LGWM greases can be interchanged with other lithium complex greases of similar characteristics, but mixing different thickeners can affect performance. If you are going to change products, clean the bearing and the lubrication system to avoid incompatibilities. Do not invent equivalences: consult the technical data sheets of each manufacturer. At MR Accesorios Industriales we can guide you on interchangeability according to the code and application, without compromising the service life of your equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the number after LGWM mean?
- The number indicates the consistency grade of the grease: 1 for soft consistency and 2 for firm consistency. The number after the slash indicates the pack size in kilograms, for example 0.4, 5, 18, 50 or 180 kg.
- Can I use this grease in high-speed bearings?
- Yes, but keep in mind that the maximum permissible speed depends on the bearing type and size. For high speeds, choose the appropriate consistency and do not overfill the cavity. Consult the bearing technical data sheet to verify the limits.
- How do I request a quote for this grease?
- Send the complete code by WhatsApp, for example LGWM 2/5, along with the quantity you need. We will reply with the quote and alternatives. We can also advise you if you have doubts about the variant.
