UNIREX™ N Series

Mobil grease , Switzerland

High Temperature Bearing Grease

Product Description

UNIREX™ N greases are premium-quality, lithium-complex products suitable for high-temperature service in rolling-element bearings. These versatile greases can be used in a wide range of industrial applications and are particularly recommended for electric-motor lubrication.

 

UNIREX N greases are not intended to be used under extreme pressure conditions where extra anti-welding properties are required.

 

UNIREX N 2 meets the requirements of Lubricating Grease DIN 51825 - K2N - 20L and ISO L-XBDHA 2.

 

UNIREX N 3 meets the requirements of Lubricating Grease DIN 51825 - K3N - 20L and ISO L-XBDHA 3.

 

Features and Benefits

Unirex N greases exhibit excellent high and low temperature performance, resistance to water and corrosion, and long service life in a range of bearing applications.

 

Features

Advantages and Potential Benefits

Excellent high-temperature performance

Lithium-complex thickener resists softening / running out of bearings at temperatures up to 190°C

Outstanding grease life

Laboratory bearing rig tests show outstanding continuous lubrication performance at bearing temperatures of up to 140°C

Very good low-temperature characteristics

Start-up power requirements are low at temperatures down to at least -20°C. Meets DIN 51825 low temperature torque requirements at -20°C

Excellent mechanical stability

Exhibits excellent resistance to softening due to mechanical working

Excellent water and corrosion resistance

Resists water washout and protects bearings against corrosion

Excellent performance in high-speed applications

Channelling characteristics provide excellent performance in high- speed deep-groove ball bearings. Unirex N3 is recommended where DmN (mean bearing diameter X rpm) exceeds 360,000

 

Applications

UNIREX N 2 is recommended for the lubrication of electric motors. It is suitable for NEMA (National Electric Manufacturer's Association) Insulation Class A, B, and F motors.

 

Most of the uses for UNIREX N involve manual methods of application. Although UNIREX N 2 is suitable for use in automatic centralized systems, equipment served by these systems would normally not require the long-life properties of UNIREX N, since one of the functions of automatic systems is to replenish the lubricant at relatively short time intervals. UNIREX N 3 should not be used in such systems.
