Bearing lubrication is one of the key factors in ensuring the normal operation of mechanical equipment
Summary: It consists of base oil and additives, has good viscosity and adhesion, and is suitable for high-speed, high-temperature, and sealed bearings.
Bearing lubrication methods Grease: Grease is one of the most common lubrication methods. It consists of base oil and additives, has good viscosity and adhesion, and is suitable for high-speed, high-temperature, and sealed bearings.
Oil: Lubricating oil is suitable for high-speed bearings and continuously operating machines. It has good fluidity and cooling performance, can form a uniform oil film in the bearing, and reduce friction.
Solid lubricant: Solid lubricants are usually applied to high-temperature, high-load, and low-speed bearings, such as molybdenum, copper, and lead solid particles. They can form a uniform lubricating film on the bearing surface to reduce friction and wear.
Lubricant selection operating conditions: Select the appropriate lubricant according to the bearing operating conditions, considering factors such as bearing load, speed, and temperature.
Wear resistance: The wear resistance of the lubricant is one of the important indicators to measure its performance. Selecting a lubricant with good wear resistance can effectively extend the service life of the bearing.
Temperature stability: The lubricant should not decompose or fail at high temperatures and should have good temperature stability to ensure normal lubrication of the bearing under various operating conditions.
Sealing performance: For sealed bearings, the sealing performance of the lubricant is crucial. A lubricant with good sealing performance should be selected to prevent external contaminants from entering the bearing.
