Do you know oil or grease lubricating bearing function?

Lubrication effect: By adding lubricant to the friction pair, the friction coefficient can be reduced, frictional resistance, surface wear, and energy loss can be minimized, resulting in smooth operation, improved efficiency, and extended service life of the equipment.

Cooling effect: oil or grease lubricating bearing can absorb heat, transfer heat, and dissipate heat, especially low viscosity lubricants, which have better cooling effects.

Cleaning function: When lubricating oil flows through the friction surface, it can wash away solid particles and keep the friction surface smooth.

Sealing function: The lubricant forms a seal with the friction pair, preventing air, moisture, or other impurities from passing through. so the oil or grease lubricating bearing oil layer have sealing function.

Shock absorption and noise reduction function: The oil layer can convert the mechanical energy generated by impact and vibration into hydraulic energy, providing cushioning and shock absorption effects while reducing noise.

Unloading effect: The external load can be evenly applied to the friction surface through the oil film. Even when dry friction occurs locally, the remaining oil film can still bear the remaining load, oil or grease lubricating bearing can greatly reduce the load acting on the friction point.

Rust prevention and protection function: The oil layer can provide certain protection to the metal surface, preventing rusting.

Ensure that the lubrication area is clean and dry before adding grease. The optimal amount of grease injection is to evenly cover the contact area with a thin layer of uniform grease film.
