AeroShell Grease 58

AeroShell Grease 58 possesses outstanding combination high performance characteristics including corrosion protection, mechanical stability, oxidation resistance and wear resistance, with a useful operating temperature range of -54°C to +175°C (-65°F to +347°F). AeroShell Grease 58 surpasses all requirements for exposure to runway de-icing fluid and salt water and is the first grease to meet and exceed all requirements of the SAE AMS 3058 testing procedure.

In addition, AeroShell Grease 58 exhibits superior ‘wash out’ resistance, ensuring the grease remains in place for longer, removing the risk of key components being directly exposed to these harsh environments. With its lithium complex base, AeroShell Grease 58 does not soften or harden excessively when worked or sheared.

Its load carrying capacity is particularly notable. The second the wheels touch the runway, the combined weight of the aircraft and external forces are all resting on the steel bearings that support the wheels. AeroShell Grease 58 exhibits almost 60% more load carrying capacity through remaining in contact with the bearing rollers and track.

It is recommended for use wherever severe operating conditions are encountered as in high bearing loads, high speeds, wide operating temperature range, and particularly where long grease retention and high resistance to water washout and corrosive fluids are required.

AeroShell Grease 58 is the latest member of the AeroShell Lithium Complex Grease portfolio which includes AeroShell Greases 33 and 64. The wide range of applications include aircraft wheel bearings, engine accessories, control systems, actuators, screw-jacks, servo mechanisms and electric motors, helicopter rotor bearings, instruments, airframe lubrication, hinge pins, static joints, and landing gears.
