SKF LGFQ grease is a high-performance lubricant designed for demanding industrial environments. Its formulation provides thermal stability and water resistance, helping protect bearings and machinery from wear and corrosion. It suits applications with high loads, vibrations, or variable temperatures where consistent lubrication is essential. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this grease as part of its SKF product line.
The LGFQ code identifies a family of SKF greases for specific uses. In designations like LGFQ 2/0.4 and LGFQ 2/18, the first figure indicates the NLGI grade—2 being the standard consistency for general applications. The second figure shows the pack size in kilograms or liters, depending on the format.
Typical applications include electric motor bearings, pumps, fans, and conveyors, where the grease handles heavy loads and adverse conditions. Its water resistance also makes it suitable for equipment exposed to moisture or frequent washdowns. The ability to form a durable lubricating film supports extended relubrication intervals.
When choosing a grease, consider operating temperature, rotation speed, and load type. LGFQ is compatible with most seals and bearing materials, but verify compatibility with any previous lubricant. During application, clean the point of use and avoid mixing with other greases. Apply the amount recommended by the equipment manufacturer, since overgreasing can cause overheating. Follow standard industrial safety and hygiene practices.
SKF LGFQ greases can be interchanged with equivalent products from other brands if they meet similar specifications for consistency, base, and additives. Always consult technical data sheets and run controlled tests before a large-scale change, as interchangeability depends on the application and service conditions. Our team can advise on the best option for your equipment.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the suffix 2/0.4 or 2/18 mean in LGFQ grease?
- The first number is the NLGI grade (consistency), with 2 being standard for general use. The second number is the pack size in kilograms or liters, depending on the format. For example, 0.4 may be a 0.4 kg cartridge and 18 an 18 kg pail. Confirm the exact pack you need.
- Is SKF LGFQ grease suitable for humid environments?
- Yes, its formulation offers good water resistance, making it suitable for applications exposed to moisture or frequent washdowns. For immersion or pressure-washing conditions, evaluate other specific greases. Contact us to discuss your case.
- Can I mix LGFQ grease with another grease already in my equipment?
- Mixing greases with different bases or from different manufacturers is not recommended, as incompatibilities may affect lubrication. Before changing, clean the system and consult the technical data sheets. If you need advice, contact us and we will help you select the right option.
