Lubrication of Gear Couplings

Read our primer articles on Grease Guns and Oil Sight Glasses.

Does anyone have an easy formula for working out the NLGI grade of the grease?

Mobilgrease XTC is listed as an NLGI grade 1 grease. Coupling greases are specially designed to resist seperation under the high centrifigul forces generated in a flexible coupling and provide good lubrication in a sliding load application.

Thank you Buck
I was able to come up with an easy to use formula based on Kop-flex information.
