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.
Conductive grease typically serves as a path to earth or ground in a customer component or device. For example, any rotating component supported by ball bearings is essentially isolated from the rest of the device by the lubricant in the bearing raceway; a conductive bearing grease is the solution to avoid…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
The grease low temperature torque test measures how a grease inhibits the motion of a slow rotating ball bearing at a low temperature: Test is run below -20°C at 1 RPM. Starting torque and running torque is recorded after 60 minutes. Very useful data point for selecting a grease for…
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…
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…
If static discharge poses is an issue or poses a hazard to your device, consider using a conductive grease. For example, any rotating component supported by ball bearings is essentially isolated from the rest of the device by the lubricant in the bearing raceway. There might be other contacts such…
