Regular lubrication improves the performance and lifespan of bearings. It reduces friction between the internal sliding surfaces of the bearing components and reduces metal-to-metal contact of the rolling elements with their raceways.
Some of the benefits of lubricating bearings are:
- Protecting surfaces from corrosion
- Sealing against contaminants
- Creating a barrier between rolling contact & sliding surfaces
- Providing heat transference
Here we share with you some useful insights on bearing lubrication:
Types of lubricants: There are two basic types of bearing lubricants: oil and grease. The choice of lubricants depend on various factors which include the type of machine, bearing type, size, temperature, load, speed range, operating conditions and external environment. The oil and grease have their own benefits.
- Oil: Oil lubricants are commonly used in high speed and high-temperature applications where it is necessary to transfer heat away from the bearings.
- Grease: Grease is
