Lightning Grease significantly lowers operating temperatures, thereby extending machinery and bearing life. This easily sheared grease is great for applications where low break-out torque, low temperature, stick slip and wear are required. Lightning Grease is also a great lubricant for slides on firearms.

Use Lightning Grease on:

  • Fine bearings
  • Gears
  • Firearms
  • Steppers
  • Servo bearings
  • Robots

Description

Lightning Grease works where all others fail. Field tests show that Lightning Grease extends the life of crucial machine parts.

Lightning Grease significantly lowers operating temperatures, thereby extending machinery and bearing life. This easily sheared grease is great for applications where low break-out torque, low temperature, stick slip and wear are required.

Lightning Grease is also great for old machines. Put a drop on the surface, work the mechanism, and wipe off the excess with a clean tissue. Repeat until the tissue is no longer discolored by dirt and metal debris left by the old lubricant. With just a dab on all the surfaces and old sticky gear boxes, bearings and mechanisms are brought back to life.

Lightning Grease is also excellent for rifle bolts and automatic slide rails as it does not soften and run when the gun gets hot.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Lightning Grease is designed to reduce friction and operating temperatures, which can help extend the service life of bearings and other machinery.

Lightning Grease has a 480°F (249°C) dropping point. The dropping point is a measure of when the grease begins to lose its consistency under a standardized test; it should not be interpreted as the maximum continuous operating temperature.

Lightning Grease is an NLGI 1 grease focused on low friction, low break-out torque, reduced stick-slip, and wear.

High Temperature Spindle Grease is an NLGI 2 grease designed for applications requiring greater high-temperature stability. It is particularly suited to high-speed rotating machinery and applications where the grease must resist melting or running.

Lightning Grease is an NLGI 1 grease designed for applications requiring low friction, low starting torque, and reduced wear. It is well-suited for bearings, gears, stepper motors, servo systems, robotics, and other precision mechanisms. Read more about a real-world application of Lightning Grease here.

Lightning Grease is formulated to reduce friction, operating temperatures, starting torque, stick-slip, and wear. Its easily sheared consistency makes it particularly useful in precision and low-torque applications.

Yes. Lightning Grease is specifically designed for applications where low-temperature performance and low breakout torque are important.
