SKF LHFC 68/208 is a synthetic grease developed for bearings that run at high speeds and moderate temperatures. It combines a synthetic base oil with a lithium complex thickener, which gives it thermal stability and resistance to water washout. Typical uses include electric motors, fans and other high-rotation equipment where friction must stay low and service life long. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this reference within its SKF lubricant range.

The code LHFC 68/208 breaks down into two parts: LHFC denotes the SKF high-speed grease family, while 68/208 pairs the base oil viscosity grade (ISO VG 68) with the package size (208 liters or equivalent). Reading the code this way lets you match the grease to bearing size and speed without guesswork. For other pack sizes in the same series, check the complete code.

In US plants, this grease appears in low- and medium-power electric motors, centrifugal fans, centrifugal pumps and machine tool spindles. Refrigeration equipment and high-speed, moderate-load bearing positions are also common. Because it handles temperatures up to 120 °C, it suits areas with moderate heat, such as food processing or metalworking shops.

Selection depends on bearing speed (the ndm parameter), operating temperature and sealing type. The grease is compatible with nitrile rubber seals and polyamide cages. During mounting, do not mix it with greases that have a different soap base, since consistency can change. Apply the correct quantity: too much causes overheating. For relubrication intervals, follow the equipment manufacturer's instructions.

As for alternatives, SKF LHFC greases can stand in for other high-speed synthetic greases from brands like Mobil, Shell or Klüber, as long as you verify base oil viscosity and thickener. No universal interchange table exists; each application needs validation. If you need a substitute, ask our technical team to assess compatibility and performance.
