Hello ShawLSI,

I guess you're using NBU 8EP is due to the OEM's recommendation? In most cases, a normal EP2 or 3 will do. But depending on your motors operating environment and condition, a better performance grease is required for a longer re-lubrication interval.

Drop me an email if you need further info. I can provide you the info share with you further of our experiences (specifically in power generation and petrochemical industries).

On a related subject our electricians are looking for a quik reference chart for commonly used motor bearing greases grouped by type. ie all the lithium based greases from the various manufacturers on one sheet and all of the urea based greases on another. We get motors from various rebuild shops and vendors from both the US and Canada and they all seem to use different manufactors grease. Has anyone made up a chart or know of one out there?

Don't know of a specific chart for this, it would be massive since almost every vendor makes both lithium and urea thickened greases. We are in the process of solving the problem by specifying the grease to be used in both new and rebuilt motors.

Replacing one grease by an other grease is not so easy, application, speedfactors, ect...
If you only look at the price, than I suggest: don't lubricate.....
If you want a real solution from a specialist than take contact with LUBCON.

I am looking for a replacement for this product (Kluber NBU 8EP). It is used in a FFE Ball Mill at a coal burninig electric plant. The application is the Bin Vibrator motor bearings. Even if I could get a product data sheet would help. This grease is through the roof on pricing. If anyone has any information on this grease, it would be greatly appreciated.

ATTENTION SHAWLSI,
Have you found your replacement?
We can help.

Kluber makes special lubricants that keep your equipment running with best performance.
If you want to replace that...

Kluber is into specialty industrial lubrication. We at Kluber go by OEM recommendation. The important point is to use the correct grade based on the requirement of the application point. Kluber cannot be compared with ordinary multipurpose grades that are available in shops.

So what objective evidence can we use to compare Kluber to mainstream products?

Kluber are indeed special types of grease/lubricants. I have asked once or twice at their technical departement for more info, they were pretty helpfull by giving me two PDS sheets, which were very helpful.

It might be worth a shot, at least then you know the exact properties of the NBU 8EP grease, which should narrow down your search for a replacement product.
