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%.
