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.

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.

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.

There are several different types of grease, each formulated to meet the specific needs of different applications. Some greases are designed for use in wheel bearings, while others are better suited for use in universal or ball joints.

Different types of greases are typically formulated with three grease components: base oil, thickener and additives. The base oil lubricates, reducing friction between moving surfaces; this is exactly the same role that the base oil plays in a lubricant oil.
