I'm wondering if anyone can suggest a decent grease for the gearbox within an electric motor (primary spindle operates at 20,000 RPM, secondary spindles at 3450 RPM - (Shopmate 5200 type 2)).
I replaced the bearings, had the armature re-wound, but I'm hitting my head against the wall with the grease. I tried kincrome hi-temp grease (link), but have had huge problems with the viscosity. It seems to drag the motor (it's too thick/sticky). Reading the description on the grease, it seems to be for "slow-speed." I had only paid attention to the wording that it was suited for bearings.
So... Could anyone point me in the right direction for a high speed grease. I was thinking synthetic, but at this point, really I'd be happy with any one that would work.
Thanks!
