Hardinge uses grease instead of way oil on their linear way machines. The grease they recommend is Kluber isoflex, NBU15.
I'm usually not one to stray from manufacturers recommendations, but, does anyone know of an equivalent grease that can be used in place of this? This grease is good for 600 hours, and then you need to grease again. I would need something that's good for close to that many hours again, as the control is set to alarm every 600 hours. Kluber is 120.00 per tube. In the grand scheme of things, it's not really as bad as it sounds price wise, but it sure would be nice to be able to go to an industrial supply facility and just buy it off the shelf.
