SKF has expanded its LGNL 2 lithium-free bearing grease line by introducing two new 125 ml automatic lubricator formats. These additions follow customer demand for specialized EP 2 grease capabilities.
Why it matters
The expansion provides industrial users with more flexible application methods for a grease that uses a calcium-based thickener. It addresses the growing need for robust lubrication solutions that maintain stability without using lithium.
The new 125 ml automatic lubricator formats supplement an established line of LGNL 2 products previously available in 400 g, 5 kg, 18 kg, and 180 kg units.
The players
SKF
SKF is a global supplier of bearings, seals, lubrication systems, and services designed to improve industrial performance.
The details
The LGNL 2 grease, originally introduced in 2023, utilizes a calcium-based thickener to provide mechanical stability and water resistance. SKF developed the new automatic formats to directly accommodate customer requests for EP 2 grease capabilities.
Timeline
SKF successfully introduced the LGNL 2 grease line in 2023.
The expanded grease portfolio was announced on October 28, 2026.
Market Landscape
This product expansion reflects a broader industry shift toward finding high-performance alternatives to traditional lithium-based lubricants. SKF is positioning its calcium-based line to capture market share among industrial users prioritizing mechanical stability and water resistance.
Industrial maintenance teams gain access to smaller, automated dispensing options that improve the precision of grease application. This change allows facilities to streamline their lubrication workflows by utilizing standardized 125 ml units for diverse equipment.
The takeaway
Industrial operators should evaluate whether automated lubrication formats can reduce waste and maintenance time in their specific equipment environments. Integrating precise, manufacturer-certified dispensers helps ensure consistent grease delivery compared to manual application methods.
