Grease for bearing surfaces and pneumatics

[MisterKoenig]

I am trying to select a lubricant that will work well for both sealing a pneumatic bore and properly lubricating roller bearings or gib style bearing surfaces. We currently use Magnalube-G and have not been very impressed by it. We have gotten products back with a few million cycles on them that the Magnalube-G is all dried up. Another key issue is keeping the cost down. I know there are lubricants out there such as Krytox that work well in this situations but they are too expensive.

Thank you for any knowledge you can impart,
Mark

Can you describe in more detail some of the operating parameters and the application. We have spent over a year and much money trying to operate an air amplifier with grease lubrication at assembly with no success. Currently two units operating at 150° F are finally working using motor oil in an air lubricator.
Grease is oil held in a thickener, once the oil is gone all that is left is the thickener which is sticky and not a lubricant.
