About

Description

SKF LGEP 1 is a high viscosity, low consistency mineral oil based grease, using a lithium-calcium thickener. It is extremely suitable for the lubrication of large bearings subjected to high loads and low speeds. LGEP 1 has been developed to deliver extended maintenance intervals while minimizing downtime.

Features & benefits

  • Excellent mechanical stability  
  • Very good protection against fretting and wear 
  • Good flow at low starting temperature  
  • Good flow properties that enable easy replenishment within the bearing design
  • Low friction characteristics that help to maintain low operating temperatures
  • Excellent water resistance and corrosion protection
  • Good pumpability

Typical applications

  • Wind turbine main shaft bearings
  • Large bearing applications
  • Heavy industrial applications
  • Centralized lubrication systems
