Any recommendations for a water resistant, high speed #0 grease and where to find it? Working with some smaller bearings all the way up to bicycle bearings and looking to minimize drag.
NLGI 0?
- Thread starter buck91
- Start date
You would get better water washout resistance with a #1 and improved (over an MPG) friction by using a lower base oil viscosity.
As I've said before, bearing speed is more than RPM. Bearing size must also be considered in determing if a bearing is really operating at high speed. Any idea what the ID (bore), OD, width, RPM and operating temperature is? ID (d), OD (D) and width (B) can be obtained if you know the bearing model number. With bearing parameters and RPM you can calulate the speed factor DN or NDm (better).
What thickener are you considering?

Cornhead grease.
Cornhead grease is good and a neat green color. Depending on what you are doing, Land Rover Swivel Ball Grease is an NLGI 0 and available in pouches from a number of suppliers, I've used it for many other applications besides swivel balls.
