The safe and reliable operation of aircraft depends heavily on high-performance lubrication. In demanding flight conditions, aviation grease must withstand extreme temperature variations while coping with challenges from high loads and rotational speeds. AeroShell Grease 58 emerges as a comprehensive solution designed to meet these rigorous requirements for critical aircraft components.

This advanced multipurpose aviation grease combines synthetic base oil with lithium complex thickeners to deliver exceptional performance characteristics:

• Outstanding load-bearing capacity: Withstands extreme bearing pressures to minimize component wear and extend service life.
• Superior corrosion protection: Effectively shields metal components from degradation in humid or corrosive environments.
• Excellent mechanical stability: Maintains consistent viscosity and performance under high shear stress for lasting lubrication.
• Advanced oxidation resistance: Prevents premature grease degradation to prolong operational lifespan.
• Exceptional anti-wear properties: Reduces friction and energy loss while improving mechanical efficiency.
• Broad operating temperature range: Performs reliably from -54°C to +175°C (-65°F to +347°F) in extreme conditions.

AeroShell Grease 58 serves multiple critical aviation applications including:

• Aircraft wheel bearings (handling landing impacts)
• Engine accessories (pumps, generators, starters)
• Flight control systems (control surfaces, flaps)
• Actuators (hydraulic and electric)
• Helicopter rotor bearings (withstanding centrifugal forces)
• Landing gear components
• Airframe lubrication points (hinge pins, static joints)
• Aviation instruments and servo mechanisms

The product exceeds SAE AMS 3058 specifications for wide-temperature lithium complex aircraft wheel bearing greases and complies with AIRBUS AIMS 09-06-003 standards. As specifications may evolve, verification with technical documentation is recommended.

As the newest member of the AeroShell lithium complex grease family, Grease 58 offers enhanced high-temperature performance and load capacity compared to Grease 33 and 64 variants, making it suitable for more demanding applications.

The product maintains full performance specifications for six years from production date without requiring requalification.

AeroShell Grease 58 provides comprehensive protection for aircraft systems across extreme operating environments. Its balanced performance characteristics address the evolving needs of modern aviation while maintaining the reliability standards essential for flight safety.
