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 package sizes, which allows selecting the right variant according to the bearing type, rotation speed and lubrication method. MR Accesorios Industriales sells this line as part of its grease and lubrication offering for industrial maintenance.

The designation LGWM identifies this grease within the SKF line. The examples in the series show two key data points: the number after the letters indicates the consistency grade (for example, LGWM 1 and LGWM 2), and the number after the slash indicates the package size in kilograms (0.4, 5, 18, 50, 180). Thus, LGWM 1/5 is a 5 kg package of consistency 1, while LGWM 2/180 is a 180 kg package of consistency 2. Knowing this logic allows you to request the exact part number you need.

This grease is used in bearings of electric machines, pumps, fans, conveyor belts and power transmission equipment. It is common in food, cement, mining, steel and paper plants, where bearings operate with 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 in corrective maintenance.

To select the right variant, take into account the bearing type, its rotation speed and the working temperature. The consistency grade influences the ease of pumping: 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, check 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. At MR Accesorios Industriales we can guide you on interchangeability according to the part number and the application, without compromising the service life of your equipment.
