Spindle Lube EP #1 is designed to meet the rigorous demands placed on coupling lubricants in today’s steel mill drives. Most mill couplings are being driven at elevated RPM’s and under more load than in the past (and in some cases exceeding design parameters). The inadequacies associated with conventional coupling greases led American Chemical Technologies, Inc. to formulate a unique additive package to combat the speeds and forces as they exist today.
Spindle Lube EP #1 is a premium lithium-based grease, incorporating a technologically advanced additive package consisting of patented polymers and fillers. The high viscosity base oil coupled with the polymer chemistry minimizes the centrifuging that typically takes place in high-speed applications. Spindle Lube EP #1 displays an increase in Timken load (E.P. property), Shell Four-Ball load (weld point and scar diameter) and a significant improvement in the ability of the product to resist centrifuging ("throw-out") in comparison with conventional coupling greases.
