GE Motor Bearing Grease

GE Motor Bearing Grease

GE Motor Bearing Grease

(OP)
I am looking for a replacement grease for a GE induction motor bearing from the 1960s. From some of the publications I've seen, the older GE motors specified their D6-A2C5 grease for the bearings. Would a lithium based motor grease be a suitable replacement?

Also, I can't find any information (i.e. installation and maintenance manuals) for older GE motors. Has anybody come across this information before on the web?

RE: GE Motor Bearing Grease

this grease is a standard mineral oil based lithium grease NLGI 2 with antioxidation and antiwear additives. it can be replaced by any standard good quality motor bearing grease with the same characteristics or (after thorough cleaning) with a more modern variety of a roller bearing grease.
