If different special lubricating greases are stated on the lubricant plate, then different criteria apply.
Note
Deviating operating conditions and characteristics
Only those greases named on the lubricant plate may be used.
If the operating conditions and characteristics differ from those mentioned, other greases may 
be used only after consultation with the manufacture.
Note
Use of other greases
If greases other than those named on the lubricant plate are used, it cannot be guaranteed 
that they are compatible with the complete system. 
If you use greases that satisfy only the minimum requirements of DIN 51825 or ISO 6743-9, 
then reduce the lubrication intervals by half or adapt them as appropriate. If in doubt, consult 
the manufacturer.
Recommended greases for roller bearings
For standard applications, the following high-quality greases are recommended for roller 
bearings for vertical and horizontal motor constructions due to their technical properties:
Table 9-4 Roller bearing greases for vertical and horizontal types of construction 
Manufacturer Grease type
Shell Gadus S2 V100 3
ExxonMobil Unirex N3
Esso
BP Energrease LS3
Fuchs Renolit H443 HD88
Lubcon Turmoplex 3
Addinol LM 3 EP
FAG Arcanol Multi 3
For motors of horizontal construction you can alternatively use greases with NLGI class 2. 
However, this reduces the lubrication interval by 20%.
