Choosing IKO bearing grease



The choice of IKO bearing grease is directly related to the stable operation of the equipment. In order to better play the best condition of IKO bearing, IKO bearing grease must be considered from the following aspects:

1, anti-rust performance

The grease used in IKO bearings must have an anti-rust effect, and the anti-rust agent is preferably insoluble in water. Grease should have good adhesion and form an oil film on the surface of the steel.

2, mechanical stability

Grease becomes soft during machining and causes leakage. During normal operation, the grease will be raked from the IKO bearing housing into the IKO bearing. If the mechanical stability of the grease is insufficient, during the operation, the structure of the soap of the grease will mechanically disintegrate, causing the grease to be destroyed, thereby losing the lubricating effect.

3, oil seal

The oil seal is a necessary barrier to protect IKO bearings and lubricants from external contamination. During the operation of IKO bearings, no matter whether debris or moisture can penetrate into the IKO bearing to prevent damage. Proper installation and maintenance is an important factor in the longest service life of IKO bearings. At the same time, attention must be paid to the cleanliness of IKO bearings, the correctness of IKO bearing selection and the selection of appropriate installation and maintenance tools. In addition, IKO bearings must be protected from contamination and moisture and ensure proper installation and lubrication. Therefore, the design of the IKO bearing, the condition of the oil seal, the type of lubricant and the lubrication cycle, and even the special maintenance play the same and important role.

 4, mixed grease

Never mix incompatible greases. If two incompatible greases are mixed, the consistency will usually be soft. Finally, IKO bearings may be damaged due to the easy loss of grease. If you don't know which grease IKO bearings originally used, you must completely remove the old grease inside and outside the IKO bearing before adding new grease.

5, the classification of oil

Mainly according to temperature and working conditions: grease can be classified according to their allowable working temperature. The consistency and lubricating ability of grease are affected by working temperature. IKO bearings operating at a certain temperature must be selected correctly at the same temperature. Grease with consistency and good lubrication. Grease is manufactured in different operating temperature ranges and can be roughly classified into low temperature, medium temperature and high temperature greases. At the same time, there is a type of grease called extrusion resistance or extrusion resistance and the addition of molybdenum disulfide, and at the same time, an additive is added thereto to strengthen the strength of the lubricant film.
