Aeroshell 22

[docc]

What is it? And can I use silicone lubricant as a substitute?

[audiomick]

Would that be this, perhaps?

If it is, going by that data sheet, I reckon you'd need a very robust silicone to do what the product itself is designed for. 

PS: the way that reads, that stuff would be ok for the drive shaft on the V11, I reckon.

Looks like some amazing stuff. I'm a knuckle dragger to be looking for a substitute that I might have on hand . . .

Shell Aviation offers a range of aviation greases designed to fill almost every lubrication need of the aviation community.

AeroShell Grease 5
Mineral Grease for Aircraft
Wheel bearing and engine accessory grease
Microgel thickened, mineral oil base
Meets MIL-G-3545C
P/N 08-05455
Combines high load-carrying ability with excellent resistance to water and high temperatures. It inhibited against corrosion and oxidation, and has a useful temperature range of -23°C to + 177°C. Used primarily in aircraft wheel bearings and engine accessories operating at high speeds and relatively high temperatures.

AeroShell Grease 6
General Purpose Airframe Grease
Microgel thickened, mineral oil base
Approved MIL-PRF-24139A
P/N 08-05460
Inhibited against corrosion and oxidation, it features outstanding low temperature torque properties and resistance to water. Useful temperature range of -40°C to +121°C. Used primarily in plain and anti-friction bearings on general aviation aircraft.

AeroShell Grease 7
Synthetic Grease for Aircraft
Advanced multipurpose airframe grease
Microgel thickened, synthetic diester oil base
Approved MIL-PRF-23827C
P/N 08-05475
Corrosion inhibited and fortified to resist oxidation, it combines excellent load-carrying capacity with a useful temperature range of -73°C to + 149°C. Recommended for highly loaded gears and actuator screw mechanisms, as well as for instrument and general airframe lubrication.

AeroShell Grease 14
Mineral Grease for Helicopters
Leading multipurpose helicopter grease
Calcium soap thickened, mineral oil base
Meets MIL-G-25537C
P/N 08-05480
Inhibited against corrosion and oxidation, it is compounded with special anti-rust additives, and gives outstanding protection against fretting and moisture corrosion. Useful temperature range is -54°C to +93°C. Approved by all leading helicopter manufacturers. Recommended for most helicopter main and tail rotor bearings; widely used as a general purpose helicopter grease.

AeroShell Grease 22
Synthetic Grease for Aircraft
Versatile multipurpose grease
Microgel thickened, synthetic hydrocarbon oil base
Approved MIL-PRF-81322G
P/N 08-05490
Corrosion inhibited and fortified against oxidation, it has excellent anti-wear properties, load-carrying capacity and water resistance, plus a wide useful temperature range of -65°C to +240°C. Recommended for aircraft wheel bearings, engine accessories and airframe lubrication, and for anti-friction bearings operating at high speeds and at high or low temperatures.

AeroShell Grease 33
Synthetic Lithium Complex Grease for Aircraft
Universal airframe grease
Lithium complex thickened,
synthetic hydrocarbon/ester oil base
Approved MIL-PRF-23827C Type 1
P/N 08-00825
Developed with the purpose of satisfying almost all airframe lubrication requirements with a single grease. Its enhanced corrosion resistance and load-carrying capacity reduces wear and tear and can lead to extension of re-greasing intervals and reduction in maintenance costs. Replacing several greases with a single grease avoids the risk of misapplication and also reduces stock inventory, again providing cost savings. Useful temperature range is -73°C to +121°C.

AeroShell Grease 64
Synthetic Grease for Aircraft Containing Molybdenum Disulfide
An extreme pressure (EP) grease
Meets MIL-G-21164D
P/N 08-00824
Extreme-Pressure Airframe Grease

AeroShell Grease 64 is an EP airframe grease based on the proven lithium thickener technology of AeroShell Grease 33. It can help to extend component life through its exceptional load-carrying and EP properties from fortification using 5% molybdenum disulphide and its excellent wear and corrosion protection. It also helps to reduce the risk of product misapplication by being fully compatible with AeroShell Grease 33. Together, these greases are perfect partners, thereby helping to reduce costs by protecting over 98% of the grease application points on a typical airliner.

Benefits at a glance

Longer component life through exceptional load-carrying and extreme pressure properties from its formulation with 5% molybdenum disulphide, and excellent wear and corrosion protection1
Longer grease life from excellent mechanical stability and controlled oil separation1
Reduced costs through excellent protection and longer grease life1
Reduced product misapplication risk through complete compatibility with AeroShell Grease 33
Peace of mind through the use of proven lithium compound thickener technology.

Personally, that is my go to for spline grease — MG Cycle

A mechanical, dial actuated, combination lock.

I am rather surprised at the "high speed, load carrying, and water resistance" characteristics for this application.

For our V11 splines and hub drive, I have long been devoted to Klüber Staburags.  Absolutely nothing wrong with a WURTH product depicting a track hoe!

Kluber Staburags is not so easy to find! Doesn’t roll off the tongue as easily either

Firstly, if you haven't got an "Ü" on your keyboard, it's WUERTH. 

Secondly, Würth products are indeed typically very good. On top of that, Reinhold Würth, son of the founder of the company, is somewhat of a philanthropist.

Amongst other things, he had this built

and he maintains an orchestra

So I'm fine with buying Würth products.

There's those dots again. Or, more to the point, there they aren't.

Klüber, or if your keyboard doesn't have the Umlaut, Klueber.

I think a good all purpose grease should be sufficient for that.
 

I’ve been using Super Lube Synthetic Grease lately and I like it a lot.
