LVO 870 Leybold Vacuum Grease for KPG Stirrer Shafts

We are pleased to introduce the **Grease LVO 870 (GLEITLEN)**, a specialized lubricant meticulously engineered to meet the demanding requirements of low vacuum environments. As experts in vacuum technology and **Leybold vacuum pump oil** solutions, we understand the critical role that proper lubrication plays in maintaining the efficiency and longevity of your vacuum systems. This unique grease is an indispensable component for specific applications where standard lubricants fall short.

The formulation of LVO 870 (GLEITLEN) is designed for precision and reliability:

• Base Oil: It utilizes a **special Vaseline** as its base oil, chosen for its excellent chemical stability and low vapor pressure characteristics, which are paramount in vacuum applications.
• Thickener: The grease is expertly thickened with **natural rubber**, providing a robust structure that ensures consistent performance and effective sealing capabilities. This combination guarantees that the grease maintains its integrity and lubricating properties even under vacuum.
• Maximum Operating Temperature: Engineered for specific conditions, this grease has a maximum operating temperature of **30℃**. It is crucial to adhere to this limit to ensure optimal performance and prevent degradation of the lubricant in sensitive applications.
• Vapor Pressure: A key indicator of its suitability for vacuum use, LVO 870 boasts an impressively low vapor pressure of **10⁻⁴ mbar**. This characteristic minimizes outgassing, thereby preserving the vacuum integrity and preventing contamination of your process.
• Characteristics: Primarily, this grease is **suitable for low vacuum applications**, where its specific properties shine, offering superior sealing and lubrication without compromising vacuum levels.

The primary application for Grease LVO 870 (GLEITLEN) is the critical **KPG agitator shaft lubrication** within **Leybold vacuum pump** systems and related vacuum series. In such agitator mechanisms, maintaining a tight seal and reducing friction are vital for efficient operation and preventing atmospheric leaks into the vacuum chamber. This grease provides the necessary lubrication and sealing properties to ensure smooth, reliable operation of the agitator shaft, contributing significantly to the overall performance of your vacuum setup. Its specific formulation ensures that it will not degrade or outgas excessively, which is a common issue with non-specialized lubricants in vacuum environments.

Choosing the right lubricant, much like selecting the correct **Leybold vacuum pump oil**, is fundamental for the health of your equipment. The LVO 870 (GLEITLEN) grease is a testament to specialized engineering for demanding vacuum applications. It ensures that components like agitator shafts operate flawlessly, minimizing wear and extending the service life of your valuable equipment. For comprehensive maintenance and optimal pump performance, always consider genuine and specialized lubricants.

For your convenience, Grease LVO 870 (GLEITLEN) is available in two practical packaging options:

• Part No. L 870 99: Available in a **2kg bucket**, ideal for facilities with regular maintenance needs or larger systems.
• Part No. L 871 05: Available in a **50g jar**, perfect for smaller applications, occasional use, or as a convenient spare.

Ensure the peak performance and longevity of your Leybold vacuum systems by utilizing the recommended and specialized lubricants. For further details on maintaining your vacuum pumps, including information on various **Leybold vacuum pump oil** types, feel free to explore our resources.
