Coupling grease
(OP)
Does anyone have any recommendations for coupling (gear type) grease for a variable speed aplication? The shaft speed could range anywhere from 300 rpm to 3000 rpm for any lenght of time.

It looks like all the big guys can offer you something as long as you tell them the application. One thing unique about coupling greases is they need to resist separation under centrifugal force. We have seen first hand the effect of using general purpose (non-coupling) grease on gear coupling... not good.
