Suitable lubrication will increase the service life of bearings

The lubrication of bearings is also an important part of bearing components. The method of lubrication and the choice of lubricants directly affect the lifespan of bearings. Depending on different usage conditions, the most suitable lubrication is chosen.
Lubrication effect:
(1) Reducing friction and wear: Lubrication can reduce the rolling friction between the rolling element and the raceway, the sliding friction between the rolling element and the cage, and the sliding friction between the cage and the ring.
(2) Reduce heat generation: Eliminate heat generated inside the bearing or heat transmitted from outside to prevent bearing overheating and lubricant deterioration.
(3) Rust and dust prevention function: prevent the rust of rolling elements, cages, and bearing rings, and prevent magazines and moisture from entering the interior of the bearings.
Characteristics of lubricants:
(1) Low friction, low wear.
(2) Good heat resistance and heat transfer performance.
(3) High oil film strength.
(4) Non corrosive.
(5) Good dust and water resistance.
(6) Stable viscosity.
