Description Details
Restore the smooth, reliable mechanical action of your La Marzocco Leva espresso machine with the genuine Leva Grease SKF (V079). This extremely high viscosity lubricant is the authorized OEM solution for the high-stress, critical moving parts within the Leva mechanism. If your lever system is experiencing sluggishness or you are searching for how to fix squeaky Leva lever action, the SKF formula is engineered to handle the severe mechanical loads and slow rotations inherent in a commercial lever group head, significantly increasing component lifespan and precision.
The V079 grease is formulated as SKF LGEV 2, a premium mineral oil-based product using a lithium-calcium soap. Crucially, it features a high content of molybdenum disulphide and graphite (giving it a black color) which are solid lubricants that provide outstanding protection under the harshest operating conditions. This specialized composition is extremely effective in preventing wear and tear on complex mechanical components like the Leva Piston Assembly and Roller Cam Kit. Its mechanical stability ensures that the grease maintains its protective barrier, offering excellent water resistance and corrosion protection, which helps to reduce vibration in commercial espresso machine operation.
This genuine La Marzocco part ensures optimal performance and maximum uptime for your machine. Key specifications include an NLGI Consistency Class 2, a broad operating temperature range of –10 to +120 °C, and a high dropping point of >180 °C. By properly applying the Leva Grease SKF (V079) to the required mechanical tracks and linkage points, you proactively lubricate La Marzocco Leva grouphead mechanisms, ensuring consistent pull quality and preventing costly downtime associated with friction and wear. Keep your lever machine running flawlessly with this factory-specified maintenance component.
