LGWM 1

Extreme pressure low temperature grease

SKF LGWM 1 is a low consistency mineral oil based grease, using a lithium soap and containing extreme pressure additives. It is extremely suitable for the lubrication of bearings operating under both radial and axial loads.

Features & benefits

  • Good oil film formation at low temperatures down to –30 °C (–20 °F)
  • Good pumpability down to low temperatures
  • Good corrosion protection
  • Good water resistance

Typical applications

  • Wind turbine main shafts
  • Screw conveyors
  • Centralised lubrication systems
  • Spherical roller thrust bearing applications
