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...

How to determine the failure of bearing grease in use?
The grease running in the bearing is damaged by mechanical force, which causes the thickener's fibers to break, shorten, and reduce the ability to maintain the structure of the grease. That is, the consistency changes. If the consistency changes greatly, it will cause The phenomenon of surface loss, and at the same time during operation, the grease will be affected by the increase in temperature. The base oil will be reduced by evaporation or part of the base oil will be reduced due to the colloid destruction of the fat. The oil content of the fat will also decrease. The possibility of oxidative deterioration.
Therefore, for bearing grease, if the content of base oil in the grease is lower than 60% -70% after work (ie, the base oil loses 30% -40% due to evaporation or oil separation), it will reduce or even lose lubrication. Capability causes the bearing to fail to run, and at the same time, the consistency of the fat decreases and oxidizes and deteriorates. It will also affect the running of the bearing.
