Starplex CG 2
High performance industrial coupling grease
Starplex CG 2 is a polyethylene thickened lithium complex grease with high base oil viscosity designed for high centrifugal force and high-torque applications where severe shock loadings, misalignment and vibration occur.
Applications
Starplex CG 2 is recommended for all types of grease lubricated couplings used in industrial equipment.
Common grease lubricated couplings include:
Common grease lubricated couplings include:
- Geared couplings which have internal and external spur gears that mesh within a common rotating hub connecting the shafts.
- Steel grid couplings which have a convoluted band of flexible spring steel physically linking the hubs together.
- Flexible chain couplings which have a roller chain that meshes with a sprocket cut in each mating hub.
Starplex CG 2 is mainly intended for flexible couplings working at very high centripetal accelerations where the grease is exposed to high centrifugal forces, which can induce a separation of the thickener from the lubricant but can also be recommended for other applications working under similar circumstances.
The high viscosity base oil/polymer mix makes Starplex CG 2 suitable for use in other industrial and marine applications where the equipment is subject to high water wash, low speeds and heavy or shock loads.
Starplex CG 2 in a static situation is very solid, but as the yield stress of 1000 Pa is exceeded, the viscosity of the product is rapidly approaching the viscosity of the base oil.
Starplex CG 2 is recommended for many types of grease lubricated couplings used in trains, metro transits and can also be used in the couplings on high-speed transport cars.
