Even the best imported bearings are only as effective as the lubrication they receive. Choosing the right lubricant is crucial for optimal performance and longevity. It's not just about selecting the right grease, but also determining the appropriate lubrication interval and method.
Roller bearing manufacturers place great emphasis on lubrication. Engineers consider lubricating grease as the "essential component" of imported bearings, just as important as the bearing itself, housing, and seals. They have extensive experience in developing rolling bearings, which has led to the creation of specialized greases tailored for imported bearings.
The Engineering Research Center has developed strict specifications and test parameters, becoming a global benchmark for imported bearing lubricants. The full range of lubricants is the result of decades of research and development, with each product precisely formulated to meet specific application needs.
In terms of standardization, the lubricant should have clear functional parameters, not just chemical composition. Today’s lubricants are complex, and chemical makeup alone does not determine quality. Therefore, proper testing and parameters are essential.
Improper selection of lubricant accounts for 36% of premature bearing failures. General-purpose lubricants often fail to meet the demands of specialized bearings, leading to inefficiencies. Using one or two general greases for all applications can cause more problems than benefits.
The working conditions of imported bearings vary widely, and correct lubrication requires matching the lubricant to the operating environment. Proper lubrication ensures smooth operation, reliability, and extended service life.
Lubricant selection must consider factors such as bearing type, dimensions, temperature, speed, load, and desired service life. It also involves adjusting the lubrication cycle accordingly.
Temperature plays a significant role in lubricant performance. The type of base oil, thickener, and additives determines the suitability of a lubricant for different temperature ranges. These limits are often referred to as "Traffic Lights":
- **LTL (Low Temperature Limit):** The lowest temperature at which the grease can be effectively used.
- **LTPL (Low Temperature Utility Limit):** Below this point, the grease may not provide adequate lubrication.
- **HTPL (High Temperature Utility Limit):** Above this limit, the grease may oxidize uncontrollably.
- **HTL (High Temperature Limit):** Exceeding this causes permanent degradation of the grease.
Laboratory tests help determine the temperature limits and service life of lubricants. These results are converted into a "Grease Performance Factor (GPF)" to evaluate effectiveness.
Selecting the right lubricant is key to maximizing bearing performance. It's equally important to apply the correct amount at the right time. Too much or too little grease, or incorrect methods, can reduce bearing life.
To simplify the process, tools like DialSet software help determine the optimal lubrication schedule based on operating conditions. This approach is supported by the latest bearing lubrication theory from GC 5000.
Proper lubrication methods, whether manual or automated, ensure accurate and timely grease application. Contamination is a major cause of bearing failure, so maintaining cleanliness is essential.
Manual lubrication using grease meters, guns, or pumps ensures precise application. Grease guns and pumps are designed for ease of use and contamination-free operation.
Single or multi-point automatic lubrication systems, such as SYSTEM 24 or MultiPoint, offer reliable and controlled grease delivery, reducing the risk of over- or under-lubrication. These systems adapt to application needs, enhancing bearing performance and lifespan.
