Bearing

We have a odd relationship with the large manufacturers of bearings, they are interested in selling replacement bearings whereas we are interested the maximum functional life for the bearing. If you are working on a bearing application and you are focused on bearing performance and functional life we are a likely bearing grease supplier for you. If you are looking to lubricate a bearing that will be operating at extreme temperatures, exposed to hazardous chemicals or gas, in a vacuum/cleanroom application or in a ATEX or hazardous environment area, we should be your supplier of high performance bearing grease or oil.

We offer an extensive collection of bearing synthetic oils and greases. Each is designed to provide an adequate film of lubricant throughout a range of operating temperatures, speeds and loads, and to resist oxidation, thermal breakdown and evaporation.

Take a look the bearing related articles below, including theory, videos and product selection help.

Electrically charged bearing wear test with non-conductive and conductive grease

Electrically charged bearing wear test with non-conductive and conductive grease

Our new video simulates the challenges faced with a bearing static discharge application. In the test a bearing is electrically charged; when a bearing is lubricated with a non-conductive grease, static discharge is not only a safety concern but wear and pitting occurs at a much increased rate when compared…

Why use an ultrafiltered lubricant in a cleanroom or vacuum environment?

Why use an ultrafiltered lubricant in a cleanroom or vacuum environment?

Sometimes it can be smaller than a grain of sand. Manufacturing equipment in Vacuum and cleanroom environments are so sensitive that even microscopic particulates can cause product failure. In a bearing, for example, any particle that acts like a ‘speed bump’ in the motion of the bearing, no matter how…

Lubrication regime explanation-Types of lubrication

Lubrication regime explanation-Types of lubrication

There are three primary lubrication regimes, which are boundary, mixed, and hydrodynamic lubrication. Lubrication regimes describe the type of lubrication film that is created under specific operating conditions and is dependent on the degree of contact between surfaces. Boundary Lubrication During boundary lubrication, opposing surfaces meet with little or no…

Base oil temperature capability information

Base oil temperature capability information

We have a number of base oils to select from when formulating a grease. Quite often the first way to start the product selection process is ruling out grease that doesn’t have the temperature capability that is required in your application. The chart featured on this page gives the reader…

Lubricant Additive overview

Lubricant Additive overview

There are a variety lubricant additives that we have the ability to include in our grease formulations. Note that we describe our additives, we use terminology relating to the benefit of the additive rather than than giving details of the chemical way in which the benefit is achieved; we don’t…

Pour Point test (ASTM D-97)

Pour Point test (ASTM D-97)

The purpose of the Pour Point test is to help define the lowest operating temperature for an oil. During this relatively simple test, the temperature is slowly reduced and it is noted at what point the fluid becomes too viscous to flow. Some times Pour Point is referred to as…

Grease thickener characteristics

Grease thickener characteristics

The grease range we offer uses a wide variety of thickener systems. The various characteristics of the thickener (also known as gellant – US terminology) gives the ability of our grease formulators to meet the challenges faced by our customers. Formulating a grease generally involves balancing the pros and cons…
