What amount of grease shoud be added

The amount of grease added needs to be determined according to the specific usage scenario and equipment requirements. Generally speaking, the following factors will affect the amount of grease added:

1. Equipment type

Rolling bearings

It is usually appropriate to fill 1/3 to 1/2 of the internal space of the bearing. Too much grease may cause increased friction and heat, and too little grease may not provide sufficient lubrication.

Sliding bearings

The amount of additives is relatively large, and generally it is necessary to ensure that there is enough grease between the shaft and the bearing to form an oil film. For specific dosages, please refer to the equipment manual or consult the equipment manufacturer.

2. Working conditions

High-speed equipment

less grease is required to reduce friction and heat. Generally, it can be appropriately reduced to about 1/3 of the internal space of the bearing. In harsh environments such as heavy loads, high temperatures, and humidity: the amount of grease added may need to be increased to ensure good lubrication and protection. But it should not be excessive to avoid problems such as poor heat dissipation.

3. Grease type

Different types of grease have different performance and application ranges, and their additive amounts may also vary. For example, some high-performance greases may only require a small amount of addition to achieve good lubrication.
