The Grease selection chart (PDF) provides you with a complete overview of SKF greases. The chart includes the main selection parameters, such as temperature, speed and load, as well as additional performance information.

Greases or lubricants have traditionally been used to keep vehicles, vessels, machines, and their components lubricated at all times. However, no two lubricants are the same - different types of grease produce different results based on the unique properties they possess.

At Chevron, we categorize our grease by diferent thickening agents, making it easier to find the right product for your needs. Here we will take a closer look at the main measurements used across industries and applications for grease, what these ratings mean, and how they impact the function of the grease.

Maintaining correct lubrication and knowing of which type of grease is suited to your equipment is vital. Machinery that is lubricated properly will work more effectively and last longer. Below, we detail seven different types of grease and the applications they are best suited to.

Proper grease specification requires all of the components of oil selection and more. Other special considerations for grease selection include thickener type and concentration, consistency, dropping point and operating temperature range, worked stability, oxidation stability, wear resistance, etc.
