Wind Mill and Aircraft Bearing Grease

AEROSHELL Grease 14 is designed for greasing applications on Wind Mill, Helicopters main and tail rotor bearings, and splines. It has outstanding anti-fret, rust and corrosion protection, high and low temperature capabilities.

AeroShell Fluid 41 is a mineral hydraulic oil manufactured to a very highlevel of cleanliness, and possesses improved fluid properties. AeroShellFluid 41 contains additives which provide excellent low temperature fluidityas well as exceptional anti-wear, oxidation - corrosion inhibition and shearstability. In addition metal de-activators and foam inhibitors are included inthis high viscosity index fluid to enhance performance in hydraulicapplications. AeroShell Fluid 41 is capable of wide temperature rangeoperation.AeroShell Fluid 41 is dyed red.APPLICATIONSAeroShell Fluid 41 is intended as a hydraulic fluid in all modern aircraftapplications requiring a mineral hydraulic fluid. AeroShell Fluid 41 isparticularly recommended where use of a "superclean" fluid can contributeto improvements in component reliability, and can be used in aircraftsystems operating unpressurised between –54°C to 90°C and pressurisedbetween –54°C to 135°C.AeroShell Fluid 41 should be used in systems with synthetic rubbercomponents and must not be used in systems incorporating natural rubber.Refer to the General Notes at the front of this section for furtherinformation.AeroShell Fluid 41 is compatible with AeroShell Fluids 4, 31, 51, 61 and71 and SSF/LGF.Chlorinated solvents should not be used for cleaning hydraulic componentswhich use AeroShell Fluid 41. The residual solvent contaminates thehydraulic fluid and may lead to corrosion.

Product Description

Historically, aircraft maintenance operations had to carry several different greases for different lubrication needs. But then Shell developed AeroShell Grease 33 - a universal airframe grease. AeroShell Grease 33 is effective on virtually all airframe components. For those components where AeroShell Grease 33 is not suitable, AeroShell 22 will do the job. A complete grease range in two products.

Why use AeroShell Grease 33?

·         Replacing the number of greases used on the aircraft with a common grease prevents misapplication of the wrong grease and damage to the aircraft t

·         The much improved corrosion resistance and wear protection properties of ASG 33 help prevent expensive replacement of parts whilst also allowing lubrication intervals to be extended replacing a range of greases with just one, reduces stock inventory and cost.

For many years aircraft operators have been seeking to rationalise the greases used on aircraft and to reduce the number of different greases in their inventories. Recently Boeing began research on a new, general purpose, corrosion-inhibiting grease. The aim was for a non-clay based grease that would provide longer life for components and mechanisms and possess improved wear and corrosion resistance. This led to the introduction of the new Boeing Specification BMS 3-33.

Owing to the wide range of operating temperatures, loads and other environmental conditions required for various aircraft components, several different types of grease with different desirable properties are used during routine lubrication of aircraft components. Boeing, in developing their BMS 3-33 specification, took account of the properties of the different grease types used on aircraft and wrote a specification for a grease which would provide improved performance and which could be used in the widest possible range of grease applications.

Shell worked closely with Boeing during the development of BMS 3-33 and formulated AeroShellGrease 33 to meet the improved performance properties required by this specification. It was the first, and for several years the only, grease approved to BMS 3-33. AeroShell Grease 33 is also approved to the MIL-PRF-23827C specification.

AeroShell Grease 33 can be used for routine lubrication on Boeing aircraft for applications where MIL-PRF-23827C or BMS 3-24 is specified. AeroShell Grease 33 can also be used in some applications on Boeing aircraft which requireuse of MIL-G-21164D. Other applications on Boeing aircraft which require use of MIL-G-21164D and some other greases are being reviewed and in due course Boeing will issue details of the full range of applications.

AeroShell Grease 33 can be used for routine lubrication in applications where MIL-PRF-23827C is specified on aircraft manufactured by McDonnell Douglas, Airbus Industrie, BAe Regional Aircraft, Fokker and Gulfstream (except for wheel bearings, applications above 121°C and sliding applications requiring molybdenumdisulphide).

Other aircraft manufacturers, such as Canadair, Saab and Lockheed are evaluating AeroShell Grease 33 with the aim of approving it for use on their aircraft. Operators should regularly check with these manufacturers for the latest status.
