Facom 006105 Mechanical Grease 200g

Product Information

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. Passing indigenous bacteria (entrained in effluent) through the magnetic fields alters the cell walls permitting the absorption of mineral crystals. Filter life is also extended with co-operating magnetic water treatment, i.e. slime build-up is reduced. This is attributable to the consumption of polysaccharides by the magnetically affected bacteria. Accumulation of algae downstream is inhibited by virtue of the organic and inorganic matter having been bio converted.

E.R. Booser, M.M. Khonsari, Grease life in ball bearings: the effect of temperature. Tribol. Lubr. Technol. 66(10), 36–44 (2010) These greases are usually not suitable for general or multi-purpose use and are made with a combination of various compatible greases and oil additives.

E.R. Booser, M.M. Khonsari, R. Miller, Grease keeps sleeve bearings lubricated. Mach. Design, Oct 2010, pp. 54–59 Synthetic grease is most commonly found lubricating rotating parts in machinery, such as bearings, due to its resistance to extreme environments and temperatures that may affect mineral-based lubricants.

Solid additives such as copper or ceramic powder are added to some greases for static high pressure and/or high temperature applications, or where corrosion could prevent dis-assembly of components later in their service life. These compounds are working as a release agent. [7] [8] Solid additives cannot be used in bearings because of tight tolerances. Solid additives will cause increased wear in bearings. [ citation needed] History [ edit ] Dropping point is an indicator of the heat resistance of grease. As grease temperature increases, penetration increases until the grease liquefies and the desired consistency is lost. The dropping point is the temperature at which a grease becomes fluid enough to drip. The dropping point indicates the upper temperature limit at which a grease retains its structure, not the maximum temperature at which a grease may be used. 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. To get into that, let’s have a look at the various types of automotive greases available: 5 Types Of Automotive Greases Many industrial machines require routine lubrication for proper operation. However, due to their characteristics such as their shape or frequency of use, some machines cannot retain oil effectively. After a few years of use, they become damaged and lose their efficiency.Additives - additives are usually added for protection, heat resistance and a myriad of other beneficial qualities. For example, rust protection.

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. Thorsten Bartels et al. "Lubricants and Lubrication" in Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry, 2005, Weinheim. doi: 10.1002/14356007.a15_423 Auto bearing greasers, orautomatic lubricators, ensure that components receive the right amount of lubrication, at exactly the right time, removing the margin for human error and preserving the lifespan of machine components. Improved Worker Safety While cleaning the stained area, avoid smearing and spreading the stain further by using blotting and dabbing motions.Thermal Run-away. Too much grease in a bearing, mechanical conditions (misalignment, excess preload, etc.), and starvation can lead to high running temperatures. This is most commonly associated with over-greasing, causing high heat from churning. In such cases, the dropping point is reached, the bearing begins to bleed, the grease runs dry and eventually failure occurs. Figure 2 shows an example of such a bearing. Devices like the UE Systems OnTrak SmartLube can help you avoid this issue by lubricating your bearings with the right amount of grease at the right time. The ultrasound technology measures friction in the bearing continuously—when grease is needed, the operator simply receives an altert on the cloud-based system and is given the option to lubricate the bearing with a push of a button. Water resistance - The ability of a grease to withstand the effects of water, whilst offering no change in its lubrication abilities. When changing to a new lubricating grease, you need to make sure it’s compatible with your old grease.

Section 6 - The accidental release measures offer recommendations on the appropriate response to spills, leaks or releases, including containment and cleanup practices to prevent or minimize exposure to people, properties or the environment. This section may also include recommendations distinguishing between responses for large and small spills when the spill volume has a significant impact on the hazard.caption id="attachment_3991" align="aligncenter" width="650"] Typical automatic, multi-point lubricator for conveyor chain - Image credit: DropsA USA[/caption] Selection notes Grease functions as a sealant to minimize leakage and to keep out contaminants. Because of its consistency, grease acts as a sealant to prevent lubricant leakage and also to prevent entrance of corrosive contaminants and foreign materials. It also acts to keep deteriorated seals effective. If you are interested, you can also read our article on the basics of industrial mechanics to learn more about this fascinating art.

Various customized ball bearing life tests at elevated temperatures have been developed to simulate automotive wheel bearings, electric motor bearings, military units and other equipment. ASTM D3336 runs a greased 204 (20 mm bore) ball bearings at 10,000 rpm at an elevated temperature either to failure or to a specified running time.
