This grease is a blend of fine synthetic oils in an aluminium complex binder.

To this is added white lubricating solids and P.T.F.E sometimes referred to as Teflon.

Has a 4 ball weld rating of 400 Kg

EMCOR corrosion rating of 0:0

Water wash out rating @ 38 deg C less than 1%

Copper corrosion test of " NEGATIVE "

dn factor of 400000

NLGI Class 1

Suitable for lubrication of plain and anti friction bearings

It has been awhile since we stopped production of prop shafts, however some of our old customers have been asking what we used to lube them.

Well here it is. whether you use a steel shaft or stainless steel shaft. whether you have brass, bronze, nylon, needle bearings, ball bearings or lead teflon. this is it.

The synthetic oils and binder prevent water washout and help to maintain optimum lubrication to parts.

One of the first main problems we encountered when it came to lubricating shafts was the lack of free space within the outer shaft, we were the first to make 4mm shafts with 6mm outers, so with only 0.5 mm free space around the inner shaft there is not a lot of space for movement of the grease.

Due to this lack of space and using grease you actually create drag on the inner shaft,this in turn causes the motor to draw a higher current as it has to work harder to turn the shaft. simple physics ! so the first thing to remember is not to over pack the shaft.

To overcome this the base oils used in the grease are of a very low viscosity added to this the overall thickness of the grease is a low NGLI class . this allows better movement in the confined space helping to reduce drag.

To help even further the added white solids and P.T.F.E aid to lower the drag even further.

And you thought grease was just grease.

We put as much thought and time into lubrication of our shafts as we did the shafts themselves. Not everyone prefers grease for there shafts, we will be releasing a fully synthetic oil as well soon..

You will have to remove your inner shaft to apply the grease within the shaft outer or through a stuffing tube if fitted, sorry for saying this but it is just in case!

PLEASE NOTE THE SHAFT SHOWN IS NOT INCLUDED

IT IS ONLY TO SHOW SOME OF OUR PAST WORK

For those interested the shaft is  300mm long and has a Titanium outer and bearing head. It houses 2 needle roller bearings and 3 stainless steel ball races. The inner shaft is bright ground 316 stainless with integrated thrust pad, the entire shaft is kept watertight by 2 single lipped oil seals.
