Technical Specifications

Note: Dimensions and weight are based on the supplied product information. Confirm the actual package size, net grease weight, and part-number relationship with the supplier before placing an order.

Function and Working Principle

Lubricating grease forms a protective film between surfaces that move relative to each other. This film helps reduce direct metal-to-metal contact and can support reliable operation when the grease is suitable for the equipment and operating conditions.

1. Friction and Wear Reduction

Bearings and other moving components experience friction during operation. Correctly selected grease helps reduce friction and surface wear, supporting stable equipment performance over time.

2. Lubrication Under Elevated Temperatures

High-temperature grease is intended for applications where ordinary lubricants may not provide the required performance. However, the permitted temperature range depends on the grease formulation and the equipment manufacturer’s specification. The product name alone should not be used to determine a maximum operating temperature.

3. Support for Bearing Reliability

In compatible motors and rotating equipment, appropriate grease helps maintain a lubricating film around designated bearing surfaces. The correct grease quantity and relubrication interval are important: both insufficient lubrication and over-greasing can contribute to overheating or premature bearing damage.

4. Contribution to Preventive Maintenance

Using the specified lubricant as part of a planned maintenance program can help reduce avoidable wear and support equipment availability. Grease selection should always follow the applicable maintenance manual and lubrication nameplate.

Role in Industrial Compressor Systems

Industrial air compressors rely on rotating assemblies, electric motors, and other mechanical components that may require periodic lubrication. The exact lubrication points vary by compressor series and configuration.

Where specified by the manufacturer, Ingersoll Rand 39218193 grease may support the lubrication requirements of compatible motor or equipment components. It should not be assumed to be a general-purpose lubricant for every part of an air compressor.

For example, motor bearings may require a specific grease grade, while the compressor airend, gearbox, or circulating lubrication system may require a different lubricant or compressor fluid. Substituting grease for compressor oil—or using one grease in place of another without confirmation—can lead to poor lubrication, seal problems, or equipment damage.

Before applying the product, maintenance personnel should identify the component to be lubricated, review the required lubricant specification, and confirm the approved service interval.

Industrial Applications

Industrial Air Compressors

Compressed-air equipment may operate for extended periods under varying loads and ambient temperatures. Following the correct lubrication schedule helps support mechanical reliability and reduce unplanned service interruptions.

Electric Motors

Certain motor designs require grease lubrication for their bearings. When the motor nameplate or service documentation specifies this product, using the correct grease helps maintain the intended lubrication conditions.

Manufacturing Facilities

Production lines often depend on compressors and auxiliary machinery for pneumatic tools, actuators, packaging equipment, and process operations. Scheduled lubrication helps support stable equipment availability.

Maintenance and Overhaul Operations

During planned maintenance, technicians may inspect bearing condition, remove contaminated grease where instructed, and replenish lubricant according to the equipment procedure. The grease type, quantity, and interval must be confirmed for the specific component.

Installation and Maintenance Guidelines

1. Verify the Part Number

Check the equipment model, serial number, component identification, and parts list before ordering. Confirm the relationship between 47556402001 and 39218193 with the supplier if both numbers appear on the purchase specification.

2. Check the Lubrication Specification

Consult the relevant maintenance manual or motor lubrication plate. Verify that 39218193 is specified for the exact bearing or lubrication point being serviced.

3. Follow the Required Quantity

Apply only the amount specified by the manufacturer. Excess grease can increase bearing temperature and resistance, while insufficient grease may allow accelerated wear.

4. Prevent Contamination

Keep the container and grease application tools clean. Dirt, moisture, and incompatible lubricant residues can reduce lubrication effectiveness and damage bearings.

5. Observe Safe Maintenance Procedures

Stop the equipment and follow the site’s isolation and lockout/tagout procedure before carrying out maintenance. Allow hot components to cool where required, and use suitable personal protective equipment.

6. Record Maintenance Activities

Record the lubricant part number, application point, quantity used, service date, and equipment identification. These records help maintenance teams plan future service and investigate recurring bearing problems.

Compatible Components and Related Products

The correct lubricant depends on the particular machine and component. The following table lists component categories to check during maintenance; it does not imply universal compatibility.

Replacement and Substitution Considerations

When the original grease is unavailable, do not select a replacement based only on the words “high temperature grease.” Products with similar names may have different base oils, thickeners, consistency grades, additive packages, and compatibility characteristics.

If changing grease type, follow the equipment manufacturer’s instructions for removing the previous lubricant or flushing the lubrication point, where applicable. Do not assume that two products are compatible simply because they are intended for similar temperature conditions.

Key Advantages of Correct Grease Selection

• Supports wear control: A suitable lubricating film helps reduce friction and component wear.
• Helps maintain bearing performance: Correct grease and application quantity support the intended bearing operating conditions.
• Supports planned maintenance: Using the specified lubricant helps technicians follow consistent service procedures.
• Reduces substitution risk: Confirming the part number and equipment requirements helps prevent incorrect lubricant selection.
• Improves maintenance traceability: Recording the lubricant used makes future servicing easier to manage.

These benefits depend on using the correct product, applying it in the intended location, and following the equipment manufacturer’s maintenance instructions.
