Description
Castrol Spheerol LMM is a multi-purpose lithium grease containing molybdenum disulphide solid lubricant to enhance
its load carrying properties under conditions of high or shock loading or to prevent scuffing or fretting. It contains oxidation
and corrosion inhibitors, anti-wear additives, has good mechanical stability and can be used in the presence
of moisture.
Application
Spheerol LMM grease is suitable for most types of bearing and a wide range of other industrial applications, which require
a molybdenum disulphide grease, including grease lubricated gears.
Spheerol LMM may be used in plain and rolling element bearings, including heavily loaded bearings at low and medium
speeds, and those subject to shock loading and excessive vibrations.
The incorporation of solid lubricant in Spheerol LMM greases makes this grease particularly suited for the lubrication of
reciprocating and sliding motion elements, where the prevention of scuffing and fretting is desirable. Typical applications
include pivot pins, cams, screws, splined shafts, slides, flexible joints (ball, universal, CV joints etc.). It is also useful for
the lubrication of chains, swivels and shackles to prevent scuffing.
Advantages
• Good load carrying capacity – protects equipment against extreme loading and helps prevents damage caused
by shock loading and excessive vibration
• Resistance to scuffing and fretting – provides protection against fretting that can occur on splined shafts, pivot pins and
other parts subject to reciprocating and sliding motion
• Good water resistance – the grease film remains on the surface even in the presence of water
• Resistant to copper and steel corrosion – helps prevent rust and oxidation on metal surfaces
• High mechanical stability – the grease keeps its consistency in service ensuring long term protection
• Good adhesion – continuous lubrication and reduced consumption as film stays between lubricated surfaces
