i.e. Water-resistant complex grease on Al soap basis, highly resistant to acids and alkalines:
work penetration 0.1 mm around 265
Dripping temperature: about 260
◦
C
NLGI grade: 1
Acid-free, not or only marginally reacting with water
Observe operating temperature range!
14.4 Precision Components
Lubricating grease (or spray) DIN 58396- S1
i.e. High-creeping, water-displacing, low-viscosity grease chemically neutral to copper and plastics:
Work penetration 0.1mm: 175 to 385
Dripping temperature: over 150
◦
C
Evaporation loss: max. 1%
Water resistance:
Evaluation grade DIN
51807-1-40
Observe operating temperature range!
14.5 Basic Lubricant Service Interval
On actuator maintenance, the old grease must be removed completely and replaced by a new one.
The service interval for Schiebel actuators is 10 years from the date of delivery

The functionality and operating life of the lubricants is, however, dependent upon operational
conditions. It may be necessary to take reduction factors into account.
