THK L500 Grease 80g / 400g – Extreme-Pressure Ball Screw Grease
THK L500 Grease – High-Performance Lubrication for Ball Screws
THK L500 Grease is designed for ball screws operating under demanding mechanical loads. During repeated linear motion, rolling contact surfaces require an effective lubricating film to reduce friction, limit wear and support stable operation. This extreme-pressure grease uses a refined mineral oil base, lithium complex thickener and special additives to provide reliable lubrication under high-load conditions.
Compared with general-purpose high-load greases, THK L500 Grease is designed to offer longer lubrication life, helping reduce relubrication frequency and routine maintenance requirements when used under suitable operating conditions.
Key Features and Benefits
1. Excellent Extreme-Pressure Performance
2. Long Lubrication Life
3. Good Pumpability for Automatic Lubrication
4. High-Load Ball Screw Applications
5. Convenient 80g and 400g Packaging
Typical Applications
THK L500 Grease is primarily intended for high-load ball screw lubrication. Potential applications include:
High-load ball screws in industrial machinery
CNC machine tools and machining equipment
Precision linear motion systems with compatible ball screws
Automatic grease lubrication systems
Industrial equipment requiring high-load, long-life lubrication
Before using this extreme-pressure grease, confirm the equipment manufacturer's specified lubricant grade, operating conditions and lubrication interval. Do not mix different grease types unless compatibility has been verified.
