Re: Adding grease to existing greased worm and wheel
|
Hello, I have done a study of the available greases. Here is the data: 4-ball test coeff of friction: CRC Brake and Caliper grease 4 ball wear scar 0.6 mm Timken load 60 lbs Copper corrosion 1B (shiny 100C 24 hr test) Arctic Jetlube recommended by Losmandy Max weld 200 Load index 25 4 ball Wear scar 0.7 mm Superlube with Syncolon ptfe 4 ball Wear scar 1.0 mm Timken load 40 lbs Copper corrosion 1B shiny 100C 24 hr test Super lube high temp and pressure grease 4 ball Wear scar 1.0 mm Timken load 50 lbs Copper corrosion 1B shiny 100C 24 hr test Shell AeroShell 33 (no MolyD) uses lithium.?? Copper corrosion 1B ( shiny 100C 24 hr test) No data on 4 ball test. Shell AeroShell 33 MD (with MolyD) uses lithium.?? Copper corrosion 1B ( shiny 100C 24 hr test) No data on 4 ball test. ____ Conclusion: CRC Brake and Caliper grease has MolyD, Graphite, and Teflon. It has the highest Timken bearing result (60lbs) and shortest 4 ball test result (0.6mm).?? Experience: ?on the G11T (titan RA): ?Super lube showed "chattering" in one worm direction rotation.? CRC Brake and Caliper grease showed no chatter.?Others protect told me of better results on their G11 with the CRC than Super lube. I bought but did not try the Arctic jetlube.? So... I recommend you use a cotton cloth to wipe out the existing lube, and put in the CRC Brake and Caliper grease.? Here is a picture of the container. The top lid has a brush to apply the grease.? It has antocorrosion ingredients that prevent damage to the brass worm in case you were to get a worm upgrade. Best regards, Michael ?
