- thickener of Bell Hammer Grease No. 2 → Bell Hammer Grease No. 2 uses a lithium complex thickener. This design ensures stable performance even under high temperatures and high loads. 2.
2) Kinematic viscosity of base oil
→ LS Bellhammer base oil is used,
The kinematic viscosity of the base oil is 78 cSt (centistokes) at 40℃. This corresponds to VG68 in the ISO VG standard.
Bell Hammer Grease No. 2 contains approximately 5% of this base oil mixed equally with the thickener,
The composition of Bell Hammer Grease No. 2 is such that it achieves both lubricity and adhesiveness as a whole grease. 3.
3) About mixing with other greases
→ Under normal circumstances, there are few cases where problems occur when mixed with general greases.
However, depending on the condition of the grease already in use or the environment in which it is used, it may cause incompatibility of components (separation or lubrication),
However, depending on the condition of the grease you are already using and the environment in which it is used, there is a possibility that incompatibility of the components (separation or reduced lubrication performance) may have occurred, which led to surface roughness on the machined surface of the sliding part.
We would appreciate your understanding that this is only speculation since we do not know the details of the actual application point.
Suggested countermeasures:
1) Remove as much of the old grease as possible and reapply LS Bell Hammer Grease No. 2.
Remove as much of the old grease as possible, apply LS Bell Hammer GOLD spray, and then apply Bell Hammer Metal Grease on top of the spray on a trial basis → Further lubrication and load resistance can be expected by using Bell Hammer Metal Grease on top of the strong lubricating film-forming action of LS Bell Hammer GOLD. Bell Hammer Metal Grease is a lubricating and load-bearing grease.
Bell Hammer Metal Grease has excellent adhesion and film-forming power, and provides lubrication and protection even in minute oscillations and low-speed sliding parts.
Especially in environments where localized high contact pressure or heavy starting motion is an issue, Bell Hammer Metal Grease will make a significant contribution to machine protection and smooth operation.
