Foreign low-noise sealed bearing greases are roughly divided into three categories: general low-noise motor bearing grease, low-temperature high-speed bearing grease, high-temperature long-life low-noise bearing grease.
1. General low noise motor bearing grease
In the bearing industry, this grease is used in the largest amount, accounting for about 70% of the total grease. Because this type of grease uses a soft, easy-to-filter lithium soap as a thickening agent, using mineral oil as a base oil, it is easy to meet the requirements of low and medium-end bearings to reduce the vibration value. Another advantage is that it has good pumpability, whether it is mechanical fatliquoring or manual grease application. Moreover, the grease is inexpensive and can greatly reduce bearing costs. However, due to the use of mineral base oils, these greases have been compromised in terms of physical and chemical properties other than rust and rust resistance. If the bearing life can only reach 200 hours, the starting and running torque will be difficult to test at -20 °C. The grease is generally used at a temperature of -20 to 120 ° C. When used at a high temperature of 150 ° C or higher, the base oil evaporates too quickly and the loss is severe, which greatly shortens the service life of the bearing.
2. Low temperature high speed bearing grease
At present, the use of precision bearing equipment is becoming more and more refined, and the grease used in bearings must have the following properties:
(1) It has the same operating life as the bearing, prolongs the maintenance cycle, shortens downtime and improves labor productivity.
(2) Under the high speed of dn>5×105, it is necessary to ensure that the motor temperature rises low and does not lick oil, thus reducing power consumption and protecting the motor.
(3) The impurity content is controlled under certain standards to minimize the pollution of equipment noise to the environment.
(4) Guarantee the flexibility of starting and running the bearing under ultra-low temperature working conditions to ensure the minimum output power.
Foreign grease companies use high-purity chemical synthetic oils and some special additives to develop and produce low-temperature high-speed bearing greases in high-purity environments and equipment. The disadvantage of this kind of grease is that when it is used over 150 °C, its life decreases sharply with the increase of temperature, and the load and impact resistance are weak. It should be avoided on medium and large bearings to prevent the boundary lubrication. sintering.
3. High temperature long life low noise bearing grease
Greases used in high temperature and high speed environments should have the following characteristics:
(1) It does not lose at high temperature, that is, maintains a certain consistency at a temperature of about 180 ° C, and does not soften.
(2) Less grease leakage. When the grease is subjected to high-frequency repeated shearing and large centrifugal force in the bearing, the lubrication can be recirculated to the raceway in time.
(3) These greases must have a certain high temperature service life and have good oxidation resistance at high temperatures, thus prolonging the life of bearings and related equipment.
(4) It has a certain mute effect. Because the fiber of high-temperature grease is generally hard, the mute performance in the bearing noise test is far less than that of lithium-based grease.
