Conductive grease handles high-speed
discharges
Newly formulated electrically conductive high speed grease is designed for the lubrication of rolling bearings.
Kluberlectric BE 44-152 a newly formulated and unique electrically conductive high speed grease for the lubrication of rolling bearings Rolling bearing failure is a common gripe for manufacturers and users of electric motors, conveyors, paper making machinery, copying machinery, film-stretching stenters and many other applications where an electric current or static electrical discharge is present

Conductive grease cuts arcs from bearings
A novel electrically conductive grease can eliminate costly machine failure by prevention of electrical erosion bearing damage.
Damage is caused by a sudden voltage discharge directly through the bearing due to a build up of static electricity.
Repeated electrical discharges result in "barcode" effect damage markings on the bearing raceways and balls resulting in expensive premature bearing failures.
Kluberlectric BE 44-152 not only behaves as an extremely effective high speed bearing lubricant but also continuously conducts voltage through the bearing such that the static build-up over time is discharged, preventing damage and increasing the life of the bearing and associated components.
Kluberlectric BE 44-152 is a fully synthetic NLGI 2 grade grease with an operating temperature range of -40 to +150C, speed factor of 1,000,000DN and very low electrical resistance of 10,000ohm-cm which make it an ideal lifetime lubricant for high speed rolling bearings.
In addition, Kluberlectric BE 44-152 shows excellent EP characteristics preventing bearing damage and wear under lightly loaded conditions where ball skidding may occur as well as in the more heavily loaded mixed friction areas present at slower rotational speeds.
