LMCG 1 - Plastic lubricant for metal spring element couplings and toothed couplings

Categories: ,

Description

LMCG 1 is a mineral oil-based grease thickened with polyethylene and lithium complex. This grease's formula allows flexible toothed and metal-spring couplings to withstand high centrifugal forces and torque, even under severe impact loads, misalignment, and vibration. It eliminates grease leakage at high speeds and maintains a stable consistency. Special additives ensure the grease's suitability for high loads and torques, high humidity, a wide range of speeds, and a wide temperature range.

Technical characteristics and advantages

  • Excellent resistance to oil separation
  • Possibility of operation at high accelerations and rotational speeds
  • Excellent lubricating properties at high torques
  • Good corrosion protection
  • Exceeds AGMA Type CG-1 and AGMA Type CG-2 requirements
  • Effective protection of the coupling from wear
  • Excellent oxidation stability
  • Due to low oil separation it is suitable for use in centralized lubrication systems

Application areas

  • Couplings with a metal spring element.
  • Toothed couplings.
  • Flexible toothed couplings and couplings with a metal spring element for heavy-duty applications.
  • Low maintenance costs, long service life of metal spring element couplings and toothed couplings.

Application areas

  • Heavy industry (mining, mineral processing, cement, steel, pulp and paper).
  • Shipbuilding.
  • General mechanical engineering (petrochemical industry, power plants, etc.).
