SKF Bearing Grease
High load, high temperature,
high viscosity bearing grease
LGHB 2
SKF LGHB 2 is a high viscosity, mineral oil based grease, using calcium
sulphonate complex thickener. Formulated to withstand high temperatures
and extreme loads, it is suitable for a wide range of applications, especially in
the cement, mining and metals segments. It also has very good pumpability
properties.
• Excellent load capacity, anti-oxidation and corrosion protection
even with large water ingress
• Withstands peak temperatures of 200 °C (390 °F)
Typical applications
• Steel on steel plain bearings
• Pulp and paper making machines
• Asphalt vibrating screens
• Continuous casting machines
• Sealed spherical roller bearings operating up to 150 °C (300 °F)
• Work roll bearings in steel industry
• Mast rollers of fork lift trucks
• Slewing bearings

Advanced tool for grease selection and relubrication calculation
LubeSelect for SKF greases
Selecting a suitable grease for a particular bearing is a crucial step if the bearing is to meet
design expectations in its application. SKF knowledge about bearing lubrication has been
encapsulated into a computer program that can be consulted at [Link]/lubeselect
LubeSelect for SKF greases provides you a user friendly tool to select
the right grease and suggest frequency and quantity, while taking into
account the particular conditions of your application. General guidelines
for typical greases for different applications are also available.
