Mineral Circles Bearings is an authorized SKF distributor supplying SKF LGMT 3 General Purpose Grease. LGMT 3 is SKF’s premium mineral oil-based, lithium soap thickened grease for industrial and automotive applications demanding a stiff NLGI Grade 3 formulation. Whether you’re lubricating large electric motors, heavy vehicle wheel bearings, or vertical shaft assemblies in high-ambient-temperature environments, LGMT 3 delivers consistent protection across a wide operating temperature range of –30°C to +120°C.
What is SKF LGMT Grease?
SKF LGMT 3 is a high-quality, general purpose industrial and automotive grease. The LGMT designation stands for Lubricant, Grease, Mineral oil, Thickener (lithium soap) — and the “3” refers to its NLGI Grade 3 consistency, which gives it a stiffer, higher-viscosity texture compared to LGMT 2. The grease is formulated for applications where a firmer grease is required to stay in place — particularly in vertically oriented bearings, outer ring rotating applications, and large-bore bearings where softer greases tend to migrate under load or gravity.
LGMT 3 is part of SKF’s core lubricant range and is widely specified by OEM engineers across automotive, agricultural, and heavy industrial sectors.
KEY FEATURES & BENEFITS
Excellent Rust and Corrosion Inhibition:
LGMT 3 contains high-performance rust inhibiting additives, providing reliable protection against corrosion in humid, wet, or variable industrial environments. Copper corrosion rating: 2 max. at 130°C (DIN 51 811).
High Oxidation Stability:
The grease maintains structural integrity and resists oxidative degradation throughout its recommended operating temperature range, extending re-lubrication intervals and reducing maintenance downtime.
Wide Operating Temperature Range:
Effective from –30°C to +120°C (–22°F to +248°F), SKF LGMT 3 performs reliably in both cold start-up conditions and sustained high-temperature industrial environments exceeding 35°C ambient.
Mineral Oil Base with Lithium Soap Thickener:
The mineral oil base provides broad compatibility with standard sealing materials and bearing metals, while the lithium soap thickener delivers stable, homogeneous consistency under mechanical working.
Long Service Life:
LGMT 3 grease has a shelf life of 5 years when stored correctly (sealed, dry, away from direct sunlight), making it a practical stock-and-use lubricant for maintenance teams managing large equipment inventories.
