What are the characteristics of common grease types in the market?
1. Calcium-based grease: good water resistance, but poor heat resistance, the maximum operating temperature: 60 ℃. Price: Low. 2, Sodium-based grease: extremely poor water resistance, heat resistance and rust resistance in general, generally used at about 80 ℃, the price is lower. 3, Aluminum-based grease: good rust resistance, poor heat resistance and water resistance, the maximum use temperature of 50 ℃, the price is low. 4, General lithium-based grease: good heat resistance, water resistance,...

Select grease according to operating temperature
The working temperature of the lubricating part is an important basis for selecting grease. The typical component that uses grease is a rolling bearing. As far as the relationship between bearing temperature and grease life is concerned, every 10-15 ° C increase in bearing temperature reduces the grease life by about 1/2. Generally, the temperature of the outer ring of the bearing is about 15 ° C lower than the temperature of the inner ring. The temperature of the bearings working at low and med...

Choose grease according to purpose
When selecting a grease, the purpose of the grease should be clearly defined. According to the role played by grease, grease can be roughly divided into three categories: friction reduction, protection, and sealing. It depends on which part of the grease needs to be applied, which one is the main role of the grease. grease. As antifriction grease, the range of resistance to high and low temperature, the limit of resistance to rotation speed, and the load should be considered. As a protective gre...

Grease hardens (increased consistency) after storage. Can it be diluted with base oil before use?
Some users add base oil to the hardened (or thickened) grease to make it thinner to reduce the consistency of the fat (ie, become softer). This method is not suitable for users because it lacks the necessary homogenization process , The stability of grease colloid becomes worse, and the increase of oil separation will affect the use.
When the thickened grease has little change in other physical and chemical properties, the same base oil can be added in the production plant, and after homogeneous chemical treatment and analysis and testing, it can be used.
