WHAT TYPE OF BEARINGS CAN SUPER LUBE® BE USED ON?
-Monday, 13 July 2020Super Lube® can be used on all types of bearings (i.e. plain, anti-friction, roller, ball, thrust, etc.) as long as it meets the load requirement of that particular bearing. The key word is load. Several load tests have been performed on Super Lube® and the results are as follows:
|

To determine if Super Lube® is suited to a particular bearing, refer to the bearing manufacturer's specification or the Timken OK Load or Four Ball EP ratings of the grease currently being used. If Super Lube®’s ratings are equivalent or higher, it will meet the load requirement.
