What factors affect the life of grease?

The service life of grease is affected by the following factors:

Operating temperature

High temperature will accelerate the oxidation and deterioration of grease, reducing its performance and service life. Different types of grease have different high temperature resistance.

Workload

Heavy load will increase friction and wear, causing the grease to consume and deteriorate faster.

Speed

High speed operation will produce greater shear force, which may damage the structure of the grease, reduce its viscosity, and affect the lubrication effect and life.

Environmental conditions

Harsh environments such as humidity, dust, and corrosive gases will accelerate the aging and performance degradation of grease.

Base oil quality

High-quality base oil has better oxidation resistance and stability, which helps to extend the service life of grease.

Thickener type and quality

Different thickeners vary in stability and durability.

Additive performance

Effective additives can enhance the anti-wear, anti-oxidation and other properties of grease and extend its service life.

Sealing condition

Good sealing can prevent impurities from entering and grease leakage, which is conducive to maintaining the performance of grease.

Equipment vibration

        Strong vibration may cause uneven distribution of grease, affect lubrication effect and shorten service life.

Grease filling amount

Too much or too little filling amount may have an adverse effect on the life of grease.
