I have a DIY CNC router sporting 1605 ball screws, SBR16 round linear rails, and HGR15 profile rails. I would like to use a single grease for all of these if possible.
This is not a high speed machine and not in continuous use.
So after some research I'm looking at Mobilith SHC 220 grease. Is this a good choice? Should I go perhaps lower viscosity SHC 100? Or some other product?
Mobilux EP1 is cheap, and readily available. It's listed in the Hiwin Lubrication manual.
Ah perfect.Quote:

For some reason some of my research steered me away from EP greases.
Got to trust the manufacturer in this case.
Thx!
I have always understood that EP or hypoid oils should never be used in gearboxes that used bronze or brass components because the additives can react badly with these metals, I assume this is true of greases as well. Dave
