one way bearing lube

[warthog3]

I have a one way bearing operating directly on a 3/4 inch
shaft (nicely ground) at less then 1000rpm. The load is less than moderate and is subject to slight variations. This load hiccup, as I call it, can cause the one way bearing to slip it's grip. The fix so far is to degrease the bearing and run it dry. Many years ago, at a large copier company that utilized these one ways extensively, they had a lube called Grahms Gold,(I think that was the name). Does anyone have knowledge of a suitable lube for one ways that operate directly on the shafting and facilitates its lock up?

The usual bearing copamny advice for these is to use oil, or a soft grease containing mineral oil.

Thick grease may retard the roller engagement and may cause individual rollers to slip.

Also imperitive to have the shaft and housings ground to exactly the right size.

Loctite makes a product that
you apply to a shaft to cement
or glue the bore in place.

Believe me, I would use the loctite product but I need it to be over-running. Thanks for the tip though. I think the light oil or mineral based grease might be for me. Any suggestions for a supplier. My bearing distibutor packs these bearings with heavy grease and We clean them with a degreaser now, before assembly.
