Application
Bibby Transmissions ECL Coupling Grease
is an NLGI 1 grade lithium grease
containing a special high viscosity base
oil. Its superior resistance to oil separation
makes it suitable for all types of flexible
couplings as defined by AGMA Coupling
Grease Specifications CG1, CG2 and CG3.
Common grease lubricated couplings
include:
Geared couplings that have internal
and external spur gears (teeth) that
mesh within a common rotating hub
connecting the hubs.
Steel Grid resilient couplings, which
have a convoluted band of flexible
spring steel that physically links the
hubs together.
Flexible chain couplings that have a
roller chain that meshes with a
sprocket machined in each hub.

Benefits
Resistance to centrifugal separation
-
extends relubrication frequency
High load carrying capacity -
resistance to water washing
Stays in place at high speeds -
provides corrosion and rust protection
Minimises coupling wear -
reduces down time and
maintenance costs
Usable at temperatures up to 162°C
-
one grease for all grease
coupling types |
Caution
Do not use Bibby Transmissions ECL
Coupling Grease for low speed
applications where an NLGI 0 General
Purpose Grease would normally be
specified. (Generally below 180 m/mm
at the pitch diameter of the gear
teeth).
Do not use Bibby Transmissions ECL
Coupling Grease in a coupling that is
operating in the food processing
Industry or for the lubrication of
bearings.
Lubricant Consistency
Gear Couplings
NGLI 1 for speeds greater than 180m/
minute at the diameter over the teeth.
NGLI 0 or 00 for speeds below 180m/
minute for increased penetration at low
speeds when centrifugal forces are minimal
Resilient Couplings
NGLI 2 for catalogue speed range. |
