Section 13 - The disposal considerations offer guidance on proper disposal practices, recycling and reclamation of the chemical or its container, as well as safe handling practices. Moreover, fatty substances in general are known to protect whatever surface they are on, going even beyond mechanical parts to such applications as protecting wood, rubber and other materials. Carpet cleaning equipment can be cumbersome and awkward, not to mention, time-consuming. Are you wondering how to remove grease from carpet without lugging around that heavy equipment? We’ve got a few tips for you. Additionally, investing in technology to monitor bearing health is proving to be of significant value to plants around the world. Not only is a condition monitoring system going to help prevent grease from drying out, it will save you time and money by reducing unplanned downtime. Commercial lubricants– Aimed at businesses, this range of lubricants is designed to help your commercial enterprise run smoothly

Grease is a semi-solid lubricant that is produced with a base oil as well as extra additives to give it the properties it requires. Grease is an essential component of all aspects of engineering due to its defining property that when placed under shear, it behaves in a way that has approximately the same viscosity as the base oil used in the product. What are the properties of lubricating greases? Another concern with heavily loaded construction machinery is their oscillatory nature of operation - a condition that can be more severe than continuous, unidirectional speeds typical of most machines. Here, galling or scuffing failure can be a concern. Experiments show that friction coefficient can suddenly increase after a number of cycles with little warning. Effective grease lubrication depends on the grease's consistency. High temperatures induce softening and bleeding, causing grease to flow away from needed areas. The mineral oil in grease can flash, burn or evaporate at temperatures greater than 177°C (350°F). This is why it is imperative to have a quality high-temperature grease for this type of environment. These units are both very popular for lubricating bearings and bearing units on conveyors, motors, pumps, and blowers. They can be installed directly at the bearing or they can be piped to the lube point from nearby so as to get around guards or barriers or to simplify changeover/refilling in tight or dangerous locations.Both industrial and automotive grease are quite similar in their components, and they’re used interchangeably at most times. But it’s important to identify the right grease for your car. As you can see, industrial grease is an essential product to keep your machinery running smoothly. It is a different kind of lubricant than oil, but it should be used with care. Pumpability is the ability of a grease to be pumped or pushed through a system. More practically, pumpability is the ease with which a pressurized grease can flow through lines, nozzles and fittings of grease-dispensing systems. W.A. Glaeser, K.F. Dufrane, New design methods for boundary-lubricated sleeve bearings. Mach. Design 6, 207–213 (1978)

I.-S. Rhee, Decomposition kinetics of greases by thermal analysis. NLGI Spokesman, May 2008, pp. 34–42 High temperatures harm greases more than they harm oils. Grease, by its nature, cannot dissipate heat by convection like a circulating oil. Consequently, without the ability to transfer away heat, excessive temperatures result in accelerated oxidation or even carbonization where grease hardens or forms a crust. While there’s a lot to choose from, the most common types of specialty greases are anti-seize grease, dielectric grease (also known as silicone grease), assembly grease, chassis grease, etc.Additives can play several roles in a lubricating grease. These primarily include enhancing the existing desirable properties, suppressing the existing undesirable properties, and imparting new properties. The most common additives are oxidation and rust inhibitors, extreme pressure, antiwear, and friction-reducing agents. When you have finished cleaning the area, remove soapy residue by cleaning with clean water. This prevents the area from attracting future dirt. Using a suitable industrial lubricating grease is often the solution. This is designed not to drip or disperse and also acts as a seal to prevent contaminants from entering. Zinc dithiophosphates, organic phosphates, acid phosphates, organic sulfur and chlorine compounds, sulfurized fats, sulfides and disulfides If the temperature of a grease is lowered enough, it will become so viscous that it can be classified as a hard grease. Pumpability suffers and machinery operation may become impossible due to torque limitations and power requirements. As a guideline, the base oil's pour point is considered the low-temperature limit of a grease.

For example, polyurea grease is incompatible with white lithium grease (both simple and lithium complex grease). You may also want to refer to the vehicle manual if it recommends any specialty grease for your engine. Final Thoughts Figure 1 assumes the base oils’ viscosity index. To be more precise, one would need to use a chart that identifies the viscosity at operating temperature, then determine the viscosity grade from a viscosity/temperature chart for a given lubricant. Ball and Roller Bearings. For design simplicity, decreased sealing requirements, and low maintenance, grease is typically the first choice for lubricating small and medium rolling-element bearings. These include applications in electric motors, household appliances, machine tools and agriculture and construction equipment, as well as automotive and aircraft accessories. While grease and oil have similarities and can be interchangeable, they have their own use cases and there are times when lubricating oil is preferable over grease and vice-versa.

Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. Understanding the need and the methods for appropriate grease selection will go a long way toward improving lubrication programs and the reliability of lubricated machinery. Let’s walk through the grease selection process step by step, starting with the most important property. Greases containing this additive are characteristically long-staying and are very stable under high temperatures and pressure. They are also great at absorbing engine noise and have good water-resistant qualities. Keeping that in mind, how do you go about choosing the right grease? 5 Things To Consider When Choosing The Right Grease Group ll oils are described as being mildly hydrotreated. While no human data exists for these lubricants, animal data has indicated possible or probable carcinogenicity. Mild hydrotreating helps reduce the amount of carcinogenic PAHs but does not necessarily eliminate them. Increasing the temperature and pressure of hydroprocessing can eliminate carcinogenic compounds.

This viscosity selection is confused by the common practice in grease manufacture to blend higher and lower viscosity base oils to achieve the desired viscosity. For a 110 cSt base oil at 40°C, for instance, the lighter oil used in blending might be in the 40 to 75 cSt range, the heavier at 175 to 200. ASTM D1741 uses a 306 (30 mm bore) ball bearing at 3,600 rpm to evaluate grease life at 125°C (257°F) for electric motor bearings and similar industrial uses. A lifespan of 10,000 hours can be expected with premium Grade 2 lithium and polyurea greases. Graphite grease is ideal for every from mobile bodies like bearings, gears, or even ball joints. The advantage of graphite is the increased protection against water, rust and dust, all the while while ensuring efficient lubrication. Its resistance to high temperatures is also an asset for highly stressed mechanisms. Lithium grease Torque / damper grease exploits its high viscosity to intentionally suppresses lubricity and sliding properties, the intrinsic nature of grease, making itself suitable for providing sound-dampening, a refined feel and impact relaxation.Complex greases are made by combining the conventional metallic soap with a complexing agent. The most widely used complex grease is lithium based. These are made with a combination of conventional lithium soap and a low- molecular-weight organic acid as the complexing agent. With 36% of premature bearing failures attribute to improper lubrication, it is essential to ensure that components receive the correct quantity of lubrication at the right interval to give the component the best chance of achieving a full service life. Automatic multi-point lubricators combine the idea of the single-point lubricator and multiple greasing locations to achieve automated grease dispensing with a single electrical hookup. These units often have programmable features, a limited set of alarms, as well as reservoirs of significant capacity. Centralized, automated systems Grease viscosity is temperature dependent and will affect a lubricator’s ability to dispense grease to a component. This behavior can factor in selecting lubricators for outdoor use. Motorized, or positive displacement versions of lubricators, do not work against any counter-pressure in the component and can be timed to periodically dispense a known volume of oil or grease. Electrochemical lubricators develop a pressurized gas that forces the lubricant out of the device at a constant rate. The rate can be adjusted to fit the usage of the component, but the rate will be affected by viscosity swings.
