Grease for bearings

Lubrication is necessary to prevent premature ball bearing wear. The most important factor in maintaining the operating conditions are the functions of the lubricant: it reduces friction between the rollers and the shell; acts as a prevention of rust and corrosion; dissipates the accumulated heat and creates obstacles to the ingress of dirt. Lubricant for bearings is used in various fields of industry, automotive and mechanics to ensure the smooth operation of bearings and extend their service life. Bearing lubricants can be made on various bases – mineral or synthetic oils, and have special additives that improve resistance to temperature extremes, pressure or moisture.

The lubricant slowly degrades, so its service life is limited. The service life of the lubricant depends on the operating conditions of the bearing and the type of lubricant.  The lubricant for bearings is selected taking into account factors such as application, speed, load and environment. It is important to choose the right type and type of lubricant to ensure optimal bearing performance and durability. One of the most commonly used lubricants in bearings is universal lithium grease. Lithium grease is known for its excellent water resistance and ability to function well at various temperatures. This makes it a popular choice for ball bearings in various fields.
