Open Gear Grease

If the open gear lubricant is an asphaltic or high viscosity synthetic base fluid type the viscosity of the fluid should be a minimum of 1 000 centistokes cst at 40 degrees celsius.

Open gear grease. Nlgi viscosity grade is a rating of a grease s consistency. It resists moisture for corrosion protection and can lubricate under heavy loads. Nlgi 1 is about the consistency of tomato paste. Nlgi 0 is about the consistency of brown mustard.

Gear shield p 1000 synthetic high viscosity open gear lubricant for mills and kilns designed for continuous sump lubrication systems. Hand brush or pour it on. Nlgi 2 is about the consistency of peanut butter. In addition most open gear applications are heavily loaded and inherently push grease from open gear teeth or plated applications where grease is virtually shoveled by extreme pressures.

Synthetic high viscosity open gear lubricant for mills and kilns applied via intermittent spray with exceptional performance at elevated temperatures above 93 c 200 f. This grease appears brownish black and is extremely tacky. Chevron open gear grease contains special functional fillers molybdenum disulfide and graphite which impart a long lasting film on working surfaces. If a semi fluid grease type of gel polymer is used the open gear lubricant must be semi fluid to fluid in consistency.

Tackier than gear box grease this grease sticks to open gears and roller chain. Chevron open gear grease is formulated with high viscosity mineral oils in a nonsoap based thickener.
