This document has been declared "Stabilized" and will no longer be subjected to periodic reviews for currency. Users are responsible for verifying references and continued suitability or technical requirements. New technology may exist. This specification covers a water resistant lubricant in the form of grease procured in inch/pound units. MAM 3053 is the metric version of this AMS. This grease has been used typically for lubrication of high speed main shaft bearings of missiles and turbine engines, but usage is not limited to such applications.
