Hi Guys,

For high speed wheel bearing lube, a good choice would be the following stuff:
Kluber Lubrication - IsoFlex NBU 15 :-o
Hochgeshwindigkeitsfet  :roll: High Speed Grease :-D

This stuff is good and I have no idea to tell you how to get it. I have had this canister for a very long time.
Not something that I would recommend for the normal 20K mile deals, but perfect for racecars.

I betcha that Pork Pie has a lead on this stuff as it is from Germany. :wink:

I am with Harold, Kluber is excellent grease for high speed bearings. We used it on our high speed spindles, 10,000 rpm+ and it was the only thing that would keep them running.

Thanks for the address.  :-D I know that I have had this canister of Kluber product for a very long time. I did not remember where it came from, but since I came up here a long time ago from Texas, that is probably where I got it.  8-) It is superb for high speed applications (high surface speeds) and as you stated it is something that will help to keep CNC spindle bearings alive. Wheel bearings are a dream with this stuff as long as somebody keeps the preload in the correct range. And it doesn't stink either. :lol:
