How long do you think the shelf life of lubricating grease is?

Generally, long-life transmission gearboxes will use one-time lubricating grease for permanent use.

 

 

When choosing lubricating grease, it is necessary to consider the service life of the grease and the influence of the environment and frequency of use.

 

Affect the service life of lubricating grease, mainly due to factors such as the base oil additives and thickeners of the grease and the use temperature.

 

 

The wider the use temperature of the base oil, the longer the service life of the grease, and the thickener mainly affects the softness and hardness of the lubricating grease.

 

 

The softness and hardness have a direct effect on the time when the grease is exposed to air oxidation and loss. The softer the grease consistency, the less the proportion of being affected by air oxidation.

 

 

Based on the above points: If the customer chooses the life of the lubricating grease, it is required to reach more than ten years; it is recommended to use a base oil made of fully synthetic oil, and add thickeners such as urea compounds, polytetrafluoroethylene, etc., which can enhance the lifespan. Use various high-performance additives to combine long-life grease.

 

The soft and hard consistency value of the grease is controlled between 0 or 1, and the use environment is not suitable for too bad.

 

 

The high temperature is higher than 80℃, the low temperature is lower than -10℃, and the maximum speed is not greater than the use limit of the grease; the working frequency per minute is not greater than the endurance limit of the grease component.

 

 

To achieve the above conditions, the grease can basically be used normally for a long time. Even if the time limit is more than 10 years, the grease will not be severely dried up or deteriorated.

 

Baoxing has focused on the research and development of various high-temperature lubricants and greases for 15 years.
