Key benefits

  • blue bearing icon

    Excellent bearing protection in rotor blade bearings that are prone to fretting and false brinelling

  • blue thermometer

    Low distribution pressures and bearing torque at extreme low temperatures

  • blue corrosion icon

    Excellent rust and corrosion protection provides enhance performance in wet conditions for reduced downtime

  • clock with arrows in blue

    Longer grease intervals and improved bearing life provided by fully synthetic base oil

Mobil SHC Grease 68 IPC is a high performance synthetic lithium complex grease specially formulated for applications that are prone to fretting and false brinelling, such as wind turbine Individual Pitch Control (IPC) rotor blade bearings. Balanced additive chemistry providing excellent wear protection and load carrying capacities also makes it well suited for automotive applications

Product applications

Wind Turbines - Mobil SHC Grease 68 IPC is specially designed to exceed the demanding requirements of wind turbine yaw and pitch bearings that do not complete full rotations in severe conditions. Such systems can be prone to inadequate lubrication due to difficulty in flow of lubricant back into contact zone
