Grease is one of the major bearing components and the performance of a grease lubricated
bearing is strongly determined by the performance of the grease. This paper describes how …

Degradation mechanisms for lubricating grease are categorized and described. An
extensive survey of the available empirical and analytical grease life estimation models …

In this paper the lubrication mechanism of lithium grease lubricated ball bearings in the
bleed phase is described. Oxidation plays an important role and therefore grease life “in air” …

Traditional greases gradually cannot meet the performance requirements of high efficiency
lubrication, and new nano-thickener greases are expected to be a promising lubricant. This …

The thickener microstructure strongly determines the properties of lubricating grease. Here,
four types of grease were synthesized through different thickeners (lithium complex soap …

The aim of this paper was to understand the parameters influencing the grease film
thickness in a rolling elastohydrodynamically lubricated contact under fully flooded …

In grease lubricated rolling contacts, the oil bleeding from the grease bulk forms an
elastohydrodynamic lubricating (EHL) film. When the amount of bled oil at the contact inlet is …

Four kinds of nano-silica greases (NSGs) were prepared by poly-α-olefins (PAO4, PAO10,
PAO40, and PAO100) with different viscosities, respectively. The effect of temperature on the …

Ionic liquids (ILs) have emerged as viable solutions for developing new-age lubricants, both
as neat lubricants and lubricant additives. Enabled by the presence of discrete ions, ILs …

The evolution of the film thickness in a grease lubricated rolling bearings is given by a
continuous process of loss and replenishment of oil in the rolling track. It is believed that in a …
