SKF LHVA 46 is a synthetic grease developed for bearings that operate at high speed, where a stable lubricating film is essential to manage friction and temperature. Spindles, electric motors and precision equipment rely on it to avoid unplanned stops caused by inadequate lubrication. MR Industrial Accessories supplies it within its line of greases and lubrication products for industrial maintenance.
The code LHVA 46 combines two pieces of information. LHVA denotes the family of greases intended for high-speed service, while 46 corresponds to the NLGI consistency grade. Package suffixes follow a simple pattern: LHVA 46 / 20 identifies a carton containing 20 units, and LHVA 46 / 208 designates a 208-liter drum. This numbering system allows you to match the container size to your consumption rate and the specific lubrication point.
In industrial plants, this grease is found in electric motor bearings, fans, centrifugal pumps and machine tool spindles. It also appears in packaging machinery and production lines where rotational speeds are elevated and operating temperatures remain moderate. Food, textile and automotive facilities often choose it because it offers good mechanical stability and generates little heat.
When selecting LHVA 46, consider bearing speed, working temperature and the type of sealing in place. The grease is compatible with elastomer seals and standard radial shaft seals. Apply the correct quantity during assembly: too much grease increases temperature and speeds up degradation. Maintain proper internal clearance and alignment, and follow the equipment manufacturer's relubrication schedule.
For equivalences, greases are matched by NLGI consistency, base oil and thickener type. The LHVA 46 series can serve as a replacement for other high-speed synthetic greases when those properties align, but substitution is not automatic: always check chemical compatibility between thickeners before mixing. Contact MR Industrial Accessories for help with a specific application.

Frequently asked questions
- What does LHVA 46 indicate in an SKF grease?
- LHVA refers to the category of greases for high speed. The number 46 is the NLGI consistency grade. Suffixes such as / 20 or / 208 show the container format: carton or drum. This naming helps you pick the right presentation for your equipment.
- Is it safe to mix LHVA 46 with other greases?
- Mixing greases with different thickeners without confirming compatibility is not advised. Even with the same NLGI consistency, the blend may reduce stability and performance. If unsure, clean the bearing and apply the new grease. Ask us for advice.
- How can I obtain SKF LHVA 46 grease?
- MR Industrial Accessories supplies the SKF brand and will quote it based on the presentation you need.
