Industrial lubricant selection (grease & oil recommendation)

Scored ranking across 2,600+ grease and oil products across 50+ industrial brands. A speed-factor (n·d_m) test picks grease, circulating oil, or oil mist; products are scored on viscosity match, NLGI grade, EP/AW, water resistance, contamination and temperature, and ranked against your facility inventory. Bearing geometry and design come from your selected bearing when a calculation string is active.

Ranks products from manufacturers’ published data sheets, described by LubeSuite LIS codes. Required viscosity: ISO 281 ν₁ × κ target; viscosity at operating temperature: ASTM D341 (Walther); 100 °C viscosity from VI by ASTM D2270 where needed. The speed-factor (n·dm) thresholds and scoring weights are LubeSuite’s.

Food grade is NSF (H1 / H2 / H3 / 3H), not ISO 6743. Bio = environmentally acceptable (HEES / HEPG / HETG / HEPR). Fire-resistant = HFDU / HFC / HFDR. Catalog tags NSF H1, EAL, and HF* products; H2 / H3 / 3H have no tagged SKUs yet.
