Things to know when selecting grease for deep groove ball bearings

(1) Base oil type viscosity the viscosity of base oil affects the formation of lubricating film. The common base oils are mineral oil and synthetic oil. The former is a low cost base oil, and its production process and cost are much simpler and cheaper than synthetic oil.

(2) Thickener.. Thickener is an important part of lubricating grease. Thickener is dispersed in base oil and forms the structural framework of lubricating grease, so that the base oil is adsorbed and fixed in the structural framework. The water resistance and heat resistance of lubricating grease are mainly determined by thickener.

(3) Additives All greases contain additives. However, some additives improve the performance of the base oil itself (antioxidants, viscosity regulators, detergents, etc.), while others play a role in rolling bearings and metal surfaces (such as anti-wear additives, corrosion inhibitors, antifriction agents).
