How To Choose The Lubricant Grease For Bearing?

Bearing is the important component of mechanical equipment, it directly affect the operation of equipment. How to choose the suitable lubricant grease is the key to ensure the normal operation of bearing. We can choose the suitable grease from the following aspects:

• Know The basic types of lubricant grease.

Choose the suitable grease can prolong the service life of bearing, and reduce the maintenance cost of equipment. Firstly, we need to know the types and application of different lubricant greases.

For example, calcium grease has good water resistance, which is suitable for humid environment; Lithium based grease is one multi purpose grease, used for all kinds of machines. Complex lithium grease is suitable for all kind of low-speed and heavy-duty work condition.

• Choose Lubricant Grease based on Bearing

Different bearings have different requirements for grease. Such as

Slide bearing has the low rotary speed, multi purpose lithium based grease can be chosen. Roller bearing has the high load work condition, we need to choose the extreme pressure lithium grease.

• Consider The Work Environment

When use the lubricant grease, we need to consider different environmental factors such as: work temperature, humidity, corrosion, etc. High temperature grease is selected in high temperature working parts, to prevent the melting of lubricating grease. In the wet environment, the water proof grease is selected.

• Consider the Operation of Equipment

Heavy load equipment requires the high viscosity lubricate grease to ensure sufficient adhesion. High speed equipment the selection of low viscosity lubricating grease to reduce friction
