LGEP 2

SKF High Load, Extreme Pressure


Bearing Grease
SKF LGEP 2 is mineral oil based, lithium soap thickened grease with extreme
pressure additives. This grease provides good lubrication in general
applications subjected to harsh conditions and vibrations.

• Excellent mechanical stability


• Extremely good corrosion inhibiting properties
• Excellent EP performance

Typical applications:
• Pulp and paper making machines
• Jaw crushers
• Traction motors for rail vehicles
• Dam gates
• Work roll bearings in steel industry
• Heavy machinery, vibrating screens
• Crane wheels, sheaves
• Slewing bearings

* Typical value

SKF lubricants offer major competitive advantages:


• Designed and tested to outperform under real conditions
• Product data include specific test results enabling a better selection
• Strict quality control of every production batch helps ensure consistent performance
• Quality control allows SKF to offer a five–year shelf-life* from the date of production

Production processes and raw materials vastly influence grease properties and performance.
It is virtually impossible to select or compare greases based only on their composition.
Therefore, performance tests are needed to provide crucial information. In over 100 years,
SKF has accrued vast knowledge about the interaction of lubricants, materials and surfaces.

This knowledge has led SKF, in many cases, to set industry standards in bearing lubricant
testing. Emcor, ROF, ROF+, V2F, R2F and Bequiet are just some of the multiple tests developed
by SKF to assess the performance of lubricants under bearing operating conditions. Many of
them are widely used by lubricant manufacturers worldwide.

* SKF LGFP 2 food grade grease offers a two-year shelf-life from the date of production
