There is a miniscule oldhamn coupling between electric motor 1500 or 3000 rpm and 0,55 or 0,75 kW. The coupling part is really small 14/10 mm diameter and looks like hardened steel.
What kind of grease goes for it?

What ever spec it needs to be a very 'clingy' grease to not be flung out at that speed. I've recently bought a tube of specially formulated 'chuck grease' that probably has the right characteristics - basically a white lithium grease but made to be very tenacious. Downside is it's a very silly price - that standard grease cartridge was £27.70 plus carriage and VAT

Jeah, I know what you mean. I do have some very adhessive grease that does not separate, but NLGI is only 1, it's not very viscous. I think that pressures are very large, but movement is very small even close to fretting/scuffing.
Effective dia is only 13-14 mm and "key" is 4,52 x 8,00 mm and 7,1 x 5,12 mm.
Electric motor shaft is D14 mm and key 5x5 mm.

If we could think of a way of safely getting it to you, you'd be welcome to a little squeeze of it.

Would a chain lube work better?

You beat me to it Tom,
yes chain lube, apply warm and let it run in to all nooks and dodars, leave 24 hours for no fling:::well very little fling Worth do a good one.

Thank you for the ideas.
Got 10 ml of Klüber ALTEMP Q NB 50 assembly paste from machine shop. it should do the trick.
